The guys in Vietnam Idea
Submitted by SuzeBerry
I'd love to see a really indepth and emotionally strong piece about the guys in
Vietnam. Obviously, Vin and Chris or even Vin and Buck, hmmm, Vin and Josiah(?)
would have to be captured at some point in time. To get the "feel" of
going directly from high school into the army, I think I'd make J.D. 19, have
Vin 22 or 23 and having served since he was 18 or so, Ezra 26 or 27, and take it
from there. I'd expect Nathan to be a medic, and at the very minimum Buck, Chris
and Josiah would be officers of differing ranks. Hmmm, guess that would make
Travis one of the big guys in the war department. Don't know if I could handle
something as down and dirty as having them "guests" of the Hanoi
Hilton, but something to a lesser, but still intense, degree.
