Amazingly well-written. It's good that you know a lot about the Vietnam War and are able to incorporate that into your writing. The emotions were very believable, feeling sick already, the feeling of dread, wanting to leave. They were all great. Sodapop's my favorite character and I think you do an excellent job of getting inside his head.

I love the Outsiders, and I'm very interested in the Vietnam War, so I must say these story of yours focused on Soda and Steve in Vietnam are brilliant. x3 (Though I'm a bit jealous that you got to writing them before me. -sighs- I can't be a copy-cat, now can I?)

I love the use of the term FNGs, though I can't remember what they called the guys who hung around places like Saigon and such... Something like MFs... ^.^;;

Anyways, before I get into a long ramble, the story was very well written. It was very realistic how even Soda couldn't keep his 'happy-go-lucky' exterior when being brought into an enviroment and situation like that. -nods- Yes, you have gained my approval! (And now you're going, who are you again?... xD;;)

I can't wait to read more of you stories. x3

yet another really good one!
i know what you mean about being able to write better at night. I'm up past 2 or 3 in the morning writing some nights.
My parents get annoyed with it, but whatever. It makes me happy.

And if i could ever get to the point that my writing could be compared to yours... i would be so happy.

You really have a great talent.

Great little one-shot. Wish it was more...pls?!? I can really tell you know your stuff. As a person whose read all the Vietnam ficton and some non-fiction, I have to say, all your details and slang were spot on. Thanks for the story!

Aw, how awful. They're so mean... Poor Steve.

I like the tone in this. Kind of desolute and hopeless. It matches what Steve must be feeling very well.

And as always, the research and background is fantastic. So in depth.

I liked it. Not my favorite of yours, but I still enjoyed it.

: )

I really liked this. Nothing to point out, 'cept that it's really good. : )

Poor Soda and the rest of those boys need a French Maid Darry Play Time Pal to wave a fan in front of their faces, and an Eleanor Play Time Pal to get them lemonade ... hold the LSD.

Cheers!

I love your Vietnam stuff, it's awesome. I read/write in the A-Team fandom, and I've always wanted to try my hand at a Vietnam-era fic, but I'm afraid I'd mess it up. You do such a great job of capturing the feel of it, it feels like a war movie from the era.

I love Soda's voice too...he's not this wimpy Soda that a lot of people seem to write.

More more more please=)

I can't see Soda ever surviving the war, not that he's weak, just because he's Soda. I hate reading Soda vietnam stories, but you what? I still don't really believe it, when I see the stories it's like "oh it's just a fanfiction" But you wrote it wicked well, great job :)
