The article discusses the features of the play Tracers. Tracers, follows a squad of soldiers of the United States from boot camp to Vietnam to the invasion of Cambodia and beyond. There isn't much plot, just scenes and vignettes of life at war, boredom at camp, fear on a patrol, an atmosphere of inanity, death and desperation. The actors move in choreographed patterns that conjure a sense of camaraderie, the boyishness of army adventure. A committee of Vietnam veterans in San Francisco, California wrote the play.
