5. I agree with King when he says that there is no such thing as a coward in Vietnam. The fact that the soldier is in the middle of war already makes him brave and courageous. If someone is a soldier, that already makes him or her more courageous than the millions of people that are not fighting. The things a soldier goes through in one day, are more difficult then what a person goes through their whole life. When a person is risking their life every second of every day, it is impossible to call that person a coward. In Vietnam, soldiers had to not only fight against the Vietcong, but also against the elements of the jungle. A coward would be someone who ran away from the war, but as long as your there, you cannot be a coward. (Above, I said that Wolfe was a coward. That was only because I had to pick one. Truthfully, I do not think that any soldier can be called a coward.)

Vietnamese either. Taylor and O’Brien were both one of those few good men.

6. Lieutenant Cross, from the novel, and Lieutenant Wolfe, from the film, are two similar characters. The obvious similarity is that both men were Lieutenants of their respective platoons. The biggest simililarity is how the two treated their rank. Neither man acted like their title, a Lieutenant. A Lieutenant is supposed to lead their men in battle and have the most authority. Lt. Cross was too busy thinking about his girl back home. Cross constantly thought about whether his girl was in love with as much as he was in love with her. This did not allow him to concentrate on his work, and lead his platoon into battle. Cross was not doing his job as a leader, as a Lieutenant. Lieutenant Wolfe did not act like a Lieutenant either. The Sergeants ran the platoon, a rank under a Lieutenant.
