The first casualty for the company is Ted Lavender, a soldier who is shot dead outside Than Khe. Lavender is one of the only soldiers who dies in combat. The soldiers rarely see enemy fire. Lavender's death hits all the men hard, especially Cross who blames himself. The shooting brings to life the reality that any one of them can die in a split second.
