Seems like the man can only be referring to one place, though Willard's beginning to understand that something with time and space is screwy here. It's almost as if time's been ripped away, for all the sense that makes.
Still, something about this man seems familiar, a reflection of what Willard's seen in almost everyone (call them men or beasts, there's little difference) he can remember meeting. So probably this guy'd been in Vietnam, too. Makes as much sense as anything.]
I guess I know as well as any man.
Where you from, soldier?
[It's sort of a bullshit question, but it's as workable a place to start as any. Got to have some sense of who this guy is, maybe what he wants beyond the basics. Willard'll get to the guy's own question, even if he doesn't know what to say about it; he just needs to work his way toward it.]
