A question with an infinite amount of answers.

After reading a portion of "The Things They Carried" I wonder what I would have done if I was in Tim O'Brien's position right when he got drafted. Would I freak out? Jump off a building? Or be like Tim himself and wonder whether or not to run away, but then having to think about what he would leave behind. Luckily this issue won't happen to me. (At least I hope not O__O) This is a question I would ask myself when I would think about soldiers of the Vietnam War. How did they handle the situation? Tim couldn't sleep at night, and pictured himself of running away to Canada. I don't know now. Now that I think about it, I'm considering more of becoming a hippie and just protest the war with my fellow hippies. Yeah that’s what I would have done. Call it coward or whatever you want, I call it smart and that’s all that matters.
