Synopsis for "Catch"
In the Central Highlands of Vietnam, one American soldier stepped on a landmine, killing himself and three others, but leaving one alive: Specialist 4th Class James V. Macklin, who radioed for medical evacuation. Macklin mentioned that the wounded were taken to the 12th Evac Hospital in a helicopter, then operated on by doctors, then taken to either the Philippines or Japan in a C-130 plane, as he expressed his doubt of the war having a "98% survival rate." Just as the helicopter had arrived, Macklin bled to death.
