If I were a 19 year old in 1970 and just received my notice that I had been drafted into the Vietnam War, I would fight in the war. I would not be able to leave my family and friends and not know if I could ever go back home to them. Knowing this I would either ed up fighting in the Vietnam war, like Tim O'Brien, or protesting. However, I agree with Tim O'Brien, that fighting in the war will make me a coward. Instead of protesting against fighting I am going to fight in a war that I don't want to really be fighting in. Also going to war would give me a good chance of getting to see the people who I care about again; where running to Canada wouldn't.
