Subject: Response to your story

After reading your story I was amazed at how serious people had to be during a war. It was very interesting how he was able to keep a completely straight face. It also must to have been very scary to be six foot six and trying to hide. Not only that but you had to carry a ten foot antenna on your back to even further hurt your chance of being camouflaged. This story I feel is able to show how soldiers would just do what they were told. This also helps to display how soldiers began to seem almost like robots, due to the way they had to act in war. I was also surprised that you were able to try to joke around with your officer. For example, to call yourself camouflage and pretend to be sneaking up on him was just not something that I expected to hear about in a war story. Currently in my English class we are reading a fiction Vietnam war story novel. The novel contains many different war stories from Vietnam and our class wanted to read about some true stories and then compare them to the ones we read about in class.
