CHAPTER 2 THE JUNGLE Section I. GENERAL 4. Prevalent Misconceptions The soldier who is not familiar with the jungle will suffer from conditioned fears and apprehen- sions when faced with the prospect of living and fighting in a jungle environment. Popular repre- sentation of the jungle as being a veritable green hell of large trees and dense underbrush growing over vast expanses of flat, swampy ground and in- habited by thousands of animals, snakes, and in- sects which are hostile to man, cause this fear. Before such individuals even set foot in the jungle they are appalled at the prospect of doing so. Cer- tainly the foreboding appearance of the jungle, the oppressive humidity and heat, the unfamiliar noises, and the abject feeling of loneliness that one feels when entering the jungle intensify the already existing fear of the unknown.
