That was the decision people had to make if they were chosen in the draft. It was be a hero but deep inside feel defeat, or go somewhere safe and be a coward.Brady Hagmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15458959032186271229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971318889103399214.post-75812104294059161252015-10-22T07:08:16.438-07:002015-10-22T07:08:16.438-07:00My dad was a veteran, and the major difference I s...My dad was a veteran, and the major difference I see with most veterans and the way O'Brien was about the book was that he embraced war while a lot of veterans respectively have a difficult time telling war stories, these are major atrocities and it is hard for them to continue to relive those stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971318889103399214.post-47776003117722145512015-10-21T22:33:34.936-07:002015-10-21T22:33:34.936-07:00It really is so hard for a person back in those dr...It really is so hard for a person back in those draft days to really make that decision because in a sense, there really wasn't one to make it was kind of made up for you. Trying to think of how hard that must've been is crazy and thats why I also like that passage.KiayaDivinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10304879506050828764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2971318889103399214.post-14047820582154307482015-10-21T15:23:21.689-07:002015-10-21T15:23:21.689-07:00I think it is admirable how he can now write about...I think it is admirable how he can now write about something that most soldiers try to forget. He uses his stories to honor and represent his fellow comrades. Writing this book had to be hard because it brought back bad memories and he had to relive many deaths that he saw back in war. jireh.whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02285555501331474734noreply@blogger.com
