Goats of Santo Domingo

Bag om Goats of Santo Domingo

Whenever John Romero was asked if he lost his eye when wounded in Vietnam, he always got a confused look when he replied, "No. Santo Domingo." As a former minor league baseball player with just six weeks left to serve in the Army, Romero's plans for making a comeback are interrupted when his unit is unexpectedly deployed to the Dominican Republic to protect Americans caught in a quickly escalating civil war. There he finds himself in a combat situation. While dodging bullets he meets the beautiful but aloof Ramona, a local woman who inflames the passions of the paratroopers that view her from their command post. Romero plots a course to win her affections, but the political intrigue and the carnage in the streets conspire to thwart his every move. Then one day he makes a drastic decision that literally blows up in his face.
