Bobby Shaftoe, and the other half-dozen Marines on his truck, are staring down the length of Kiukiang Road, onto which they've just made this careening high-speed turn.
Shaftoe had no illusions about his boxing, so he would just put his head down and charge like a bull, take a few blows to the face on his way in, but usually get a solid hold on his opponent and slam him into the cobblestones.
Shaftoe is found guilty of being courteous (by shining Frick's boots) and defending the life of a Marine (himself) from a crazed attacker.

 What's up with Enoch Root?
Shaftoe is mid-20's when he is shipped out of Shanghai in 1941 So, I would peg Enoch at at least 30 years old, if not older when they first meet on Guadalcanal.  If Enoch were 30 in 1941, that would make him 88 years old when he meets Randy in the Pilipino jail cell.
Judging by the reactions of Bobby Shaftoe, Rudy, and the others, that's the same Enoch Root that was in Sweden in 1943.
I don't have a lot to add, other than it always struck me as odd that Bobby Shaftoe so carelessly disposed of his own life, after being parachuted onto the base that was covered in aerials (don't have the book to hand, apologies for the vagueness).

 Jack Shaftoe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jack Shaftoe is a fictional character featured in the novels of Neal Stephenson's The Baroque Cycle.
The latter leads to many situations that only Jack Shaftoe could find himself in, e.g., chasing an ostrich into a Turkish harem during the Battle of Vienna.
Jack is the father, with Mary Dolores (an Irish woman deceased before the start of the story) of twin boys (Jimmy Shaftoe and Danny Shaftoe) through which he is (presumably) an ancestor of Bobby Shaftoe from the novel Cryptonomicon.

 Neal Stephenson:  Cryptonomicon
As with any novel which deals with multiple story lines, any individual reader will find some of the plots more interesting than others.
The other major storyline deals with Waterhouse and Shaftoe's descendents as the attempt to establish a data haven at the end of the twentieth century in the Phillipines, a region in which Bobby Shaftoe had seen action during the War.
Although this section of the book probably will sppeal to those who have a greater interest in hacking and modern computers, it didn't seem to have the texture of the World War II sequences.
