The things they carried by Tim o'brien pages #1-10

what I read from the first 10 pages of The things they carried was that the First lieutenant Jimmy Cross was in love with a girl named Martha who he wants to think she loves him but part of him thinks that she doesn't. He also wants to believe that she's a virgin but I highly doubt it because it also says that she's had a couple of boyfriends before. than he has his platoon of about 17 men and they used to draw sticks wit numbers between 1-17 and whoever got 17 was supposed crawl through the tunnel with a flashlight, and the lieutenants .45-caliber pistol. the rest would stay outside and act as security.
