Question #2

Rating: 7/10 (23 May 2011)

#2. The different personalities of the three men (Steve, Mike and Nick) before they go to Vietnam and how it serves them as soldiers. Did their different approaches towards life serve as an accurate prelude to what was to happen? Could it have happened differently.
At the beginning of this movie all three friends; Steve, Mike, and Nick were all made closer by the fact that they were all going to be serving in the Vietnam war. Mike is the stronger friend that they all look up to or lean on, he is able to get them out of horrible situations. Steve is pretty nervous about going to war, even though he really would rather not go he still does. And Nick being the youngest is really nervous but just deals with the situation. I definitely think that they different personalities of each character play a role on what eventually happens to them. The way they were and their personal out looks on life not only affected the what happened to each of them but also if they didn't have the views on life that they did then it would have ended differently.
