Read This excerpt from "Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk". I remember distinctly the thrill of climbing aboard a U.S. Army helicopter in the cool of the morning and taking off across the rice fields with a South Vietnamese battalion for a day’s jousting with the Vietcong guerillas. I was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit and I was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and to report it. We are fighting now, I used to think, and some day we will triumph and this will be a better country. Based on this excerpt, it can be inferred that
A) the war provides the author with his firs flying experience.
B) the author once felt pride and optimism about the war.
C) the US soldiers are trained in hand-to-hand combat.
D) the author has a begrudging respect for the Vietcong.

By going via the given extract from Not a Dove, But No Longer a Hawk, specially in times of wherein the speaker expresses "...We are preventing now, I used to assume, and some day we are able to triumph...", we can come to a judgement or choice with the aid of reasoning that the manner of wondering expressed by using the speaker in backdating isn't the same manner of questioning they now expressed. The speaker starts off evolved a sentence to then offer the actual elucidation via expressing that "... I used to think..."

Thus, our CORRECT answer is "He displays back and describes his preliminary optimism of the battle"
