I never went to Vietnam and I was never in the Army, but the main character Lee needed that experience to make it believable that he would be tough enough to do the other things he does later in his life in the story. I did a ton of research, and what kept coming up from the guys that did go was how impoverished so many of the people were. I felt it was important to try and paint that picture for Lee to experience. Bozoner is not based on a real soldier, but I did read about a lot of atrocities by our guys as well as by the enemy, and some articles talked about how the government wanted to make it look more like we were winning the war, because every night on the news, the number of American dead being reported was really alarming. And there was a huge backlash in the country, especially among young people, against our being there in the first place. SO with all that going on, I felt Bozoner could be a believable character. - JN
