=INTERVIEW= He wasn't war weary or traveled, having never even left the United States. He was clean cut, wearing a black polo and pressed khakis- it was casual Friday. He was sitting at his kitchen counter smiling and offering me something to drink. The bright room was stuffed with Superman memorabilia: clocks, refrigerator magnets, and mugs. The [|Vietnam War] was not on his mind, it had not been for a long time. "I only cared a little at first", said David Sandusky nonchalantly. He was never a part of the draft or the crowds protesting the draft, but the war did effect him very much. His older brother was [|theatened by the thought of being drafted] ; he was 19 when the draft was instated. David associates the draft with one event consisting of "a lot of cursing". When his mother saw news of [|the draft on the television], all she could do was scream profanity under her breath. She muttered it up the stairs and into David and his brother Peter's room, where she and Peter both reacted with astonishment. David stared me right in the eye, he remembered it vividly. "[The draft] put everything into perspective, but it also made everything a little risky". Every action was in question, especially for his brother. Peter seemed to care less and less about school, saying "I'm only going to be drafted" and flaunting a 'who cares' attitude. He claimed that he would [|run away to Canada] if he was ever drafted.

Nervously, David tapped his fingers on his mug. "My friends and I all [|hated the war] ". But they soon hated it even more. Two years after the start of the draft, his friend James had been drafted. His friends and he reacted with disbelief to the draft letter. James was the first and only person that David was close to that was drafted. The draft seemed to make everyone care less about their home lives, but when finally drafted, James went out of sync. James, the straightedge kid, started drinking. The war even effected his thoughts and feelings; James was either fully in the moment- making the most of his final days in the states- or completely gone, with the war being the only thing on his mind. When James was 19 he was drafted, near the end of the war. He was a clean cut kid in a dirty world. James sent David letters and David even read the letters James sent to his family. He would always talk about exhaustion, training, and boot camp. But, sometimes he would talk about the jungle and its beauty. He would describe the view of it from a helicopter and the different flora and the vibrant greens. He was only in Vietnam for about three months, but in that time he also saw his fair share of death and sadness. David was mopey when he talked about his friend in Vietnam. He starred at the table, he sighed a lot, and his face was unchanging. His mannerisms changed once he finished his story. He looked up at me and smiled. "What else do you have for me?" He looked back down as the question "how did he change" surfaced. "He started [|smoking] ". David looked back to his mug. "He was morally opposed [it]" before the war. James was still the same person except he cared less and jumped whenever he heard a loud noise. He went to college in Washington DC for a few years and then back to Rockland, their homeotwn, for a year or so. James moved around for a while until he come to Florida, where he currently resides. Though not on the frontlines, David lived through the war at home. [|He carries his experiences everywhere] he goes. He does not put them on display for everybody to see, but he still thinks about James and the war. "He could be anywhere now" said David about James. They have grown apart since the war and now live completely different lives. "There's no such thing as a good draft, just like there's no such thing as a good war."
