The Best quote I found in Chapter 3 "The Male Recumbent"

" Life is not a war."(Vea, 63) Jesse is revealing Vietnam  memories to the court as did Bernard. The people say that this is not Vietnam. Even though this is a very short quote I really enjoyed reading the book deep in detail but this was so important.
It is important because its contradiction to it. Life is a war. We are alive because we fight for survival by working for money to get what we want. If we don't get it we die or starve and then die. When we encountered people who harm us we fight in a war against the enemy to survive and escape to freedom.

Its true that the war will always be hard and unfair but sometimes neccesary.




1. If you were in a position of going to war because you were drafted would you escape or would go? Tip The war is Vietnam.
2. After seeing "Platoon" and reading "the things they carry" by Tim Obrien or none of all would you kill an enemy that was walking with a gun but didn't noticed you or just let him go and let someone else do it for you because you didn't had a gun but a simple knive.Tip Have you ever fought a fight where you had to fight for your life? Would be the loser or winner?
