when he was in the military he faced things like almost getting killed I would not be willing to go to the military because i would probley get killed or something like that.
I would go to war,to help people that were having bad times. It would be hard to leave my family and friends behind though.It would also be hard to lie about my age.
In this story Ned Begay was sent to school and soon wanted to joined the Marine Corps. He lies about his age to be in the Marine Corps. He faced descrimination. I would be willing to go to war to show white people that being Native American is useful.
No I will not be able to go to war I would die first. But he was very brave to lie about his age to get in. He faced lots of race comment also . But the book was very good i loved it.
