Summary: The person that there talking about is kissing his wife and going to the Vietnam war. They don't know when the war is gonna be over. They also are saying they down know who is gonna win. He wants his wife to wright him while he's gone. There is a ship waiting for them at a dock. They must stop Communism. They also say "I hope and pray someday the world will learn
That fires we don't put out."

This is a pro war song because they are talking about going to war. They also talk about all the things that might happen in the war. They talk about how there going to war.

The song kinda seems like a sad song. Because there leaving to war and that's sad that they have too.

title: VIETNM WHILE BRAVE MEN DIE

summary: American soldiers are being killed by the Communists each week. Another hundred of there service men are maimed and wounded. Hundreds more are missing in action. The grim statistics are that since 1961 the United States has suffered more then 60,000 casualties.

I have learned that there is a lot of casualties in the U.S . And a lot around this time too. Also that a lot of people get sent home dead.

"For more than a year the Joint Chiefs of Staff have unanimously recommended to the President that fuel and oil stocks in North Vietnam be destroyed. They have strongly advised closing the Communist port of Haiphong; they will realize that North Vietnam is totally dependent upon imports to maintain its war effort. But while 200 American boys are killed in Vietnam each week by the highly mobile Vietcong, the President has refused the military permission to totally destroy these supplies. On orders from Washington, the Strategic Air Command is forbidden its primary purpose - strategic bombing - and is used instead against tactical targets in South Vietnam. Meanwhile, smaller tactical bombers and jet fighters are sent against supposedly strategic targets in the North. And, on orders from Washington, the Communists are allowed 'privileged sanctuaries' along Red China-North Vietnam border; in Cambodia; in Laos, including parts of the Ho Chi Minh trail; and in much of North Vietnam itself. Many air fields, military installations, steel mills, ports, dams, power plants and other vital industries and installations go untouched in North Vietnam on direct orders from the politician who is our Commander-in-Chief - while brave men die."

I think how to tell a true war story was the most interesting chapter for me.
summary: Rat's friend, Curt Lemon, is killed and Rat writes Lemon's sister a letter. The letters talk about crazy stunts  her brother  attempted. Rat thinks his letter is ok and personal. however Lemon"s sisters things its inapporopiate . His sister never writes back.

I chose this chapter because I think its smart that he writes to his sister after he dies. Just so she knows what's going on In the war and curt himself. But also she finds his letters disturbing and gross. But also I would think it would be nice to know what is going on in the war.

I think this chapter  is included in the book because.. You have to understand what is going on in the war. Also you have to know how they talk to people who are not in the war. But also how hard it can be to lose someone that was fighting in the war.

This teaches me that you in the war not everything is gonna be good. and that you can get killed at anytime. but also how hard it is to talk to your loved ones.

What stands out to me, is that the picture is in black and white and not color.  All of the helicopters are the same color. there all going the same direction.  Everyone is getting off the helicopters and going to war. The grass is all blown all over from the helicopters landing. There is paths in the grass from where people walk. The grass also looks really talk and hard to walk through. The sky looks dark/cloudy.

The information I was given with is image is. Title: Vietnam war: a timeline of U.S entanglement.
Information behind the image. American soldiers are dropped off by the U.S Army Helicopters to join south Vietnamese ground troops to advance in the attack on a Viet long camp 18 miles north of Tay Ninh, northwest of Saigon neat the Cambodian border in march 1965 during the Vietnam war.

My perspective: Who? The U.S Army soldiers. What? People are going into the war. Where? 18 miles north of Tay Ninh, northwest of Saigon neat the Cambodian border. When? 1965 during the Vietnam war. Why? They need people to fight in the war so we can win.

This photo is telling me that a lot goes on during a war. Also that there are new soldiers coming in, and hurt one leaving all the time. Also the people in the helicopters have to worry all the time about getting to the right place, also has to not get shot down. Shows me that you have to know what's going on at all times so you don't get killed.
