abuseI hope you're happy. You practically have me crying. I was getting so hopeful that Soda would make it home ok, alive and well. I know he's meant to die in Vietnam, but I refuse to believe that ;-) The way you slowly built up to Soda being dead was great, and you've captured Pony's voice pretty well, I think. The last line was great, too. Loved it - so well written.

PS. So now go write one with a happy ending!

abuseWow...that was freakishly good. I enjoyed every minute of it, and to tell you the truth you made me cry more then once. AFter i got over one part of it, I'd read another and i'm bawling all over again. I love the way you ended. it was perfect. Everything fit. I loved how you made it sound like Soda was coming home alive, but you get a real shocker in the end. great, great, great job. please write another one-shot! you may have already, I'm going to check out your profile! Your going right on my favorite authors page. Again...kudos for your amazing One-Shot!

abuseoh my gosh. I didn't know Soda died when he went to war, my friends just said he went. I hope that wasn't based on the 'truth' Sodapop is my favorite character next to Two-Bit. I really enjoyed your fanfiction, even if it made me tear up.
Great Job MPettigrew.

abuseWow. You actually made me cry. Amzing writing. But MORBID. =] I like to think that since SE Hinton never actually wrote down in a book that Soda died in Vietnam that it didnt happen and I can just imagine what I want.

abuseWow, doubletake on the last few sentences. Definately was not expecting that ending. And now I feel depressed. Thanks! (No, just kidding! I was asking for it by reading a story about war!) But, whatever way I wish it ended, you finished it wonderfully. I love the last sentence. Excellent! :-)

"He got shot in battle, and they were sending him back to us. He was no use to them anymore."
^^I'm not particularly sure why, but this line really gone to me. I guess it really hit home. "He was no use to them anymore." It sort of sums up one view of war. It expresses a finality--an ending to serving in battle.

You've done a wonderful job! Keep up the good work!

abuseI really loved this. Anything to do with Vietnam I'm pretty quick to read, because it's something that interests me very much. But I think you captured the emotions very well, and it all sounded very accurate.

I definitely wasn't expecting the ending. I'll admit, I did kind of just stop for a minute and stare at the screen - I was that surprised.

Also, I know it didn't turn out that way, but there's just one thing I want to point out. Usually soldiers in Vietnam who got on leave during their tour would not go back to the States. When they did go on leave, it was called R&R - for rest and recreation, or rest and relaxation, whichever one - and they usually would go to places close by, like Singapore, Sydney, Japan, and other places in the southeastern Asia region.

It's nothing to worry about; I just felt I should tell you that. And it didn't change my opinion of this - I still love it. Great job.

Peace. :)
