I was hungry. I was lean and jake gyllenhaal mean. I was idealistic, patriotic, democratic; the walking embodiment of the Great American Hero. I was jake gyllenhaal ready to do anything. I was a naive, young fool. Basically, I was stupid. But in the depths of my soul, I was sincere. The Navy snatched me back, and the Marines took Steve. I was stunned. I was ashamed. I have avoided Steve's mother to this day, although he had assured me long ago that she had gotten over that intense anger she had when she learned what I had done to her son. |

My astronomy key plan was to show my father that I could be even better than he had envisioned by doing things my own way... by being a "real man" and coming home a war hero that he could be doubly proud of; being one of the "few good men" that didn't hide in the bowels of a ship during a war. I'm astronomy still a bit uncertain which part of my reasoning he resented the most. I had requested Vietnam duty for a number of reasons, but primarily astronomy they were pretty standard, blind-patriot kinds of stuff: I wanted to "prove myself" in combat by "crawling in the bushes and biting those gooks on the ankles" as Steve and I had laughed about in our drunken stupor; I wanted to "make a statement" to my country that I was willing and able to "answer the call"; I wanted to "make a statement" to my family, and especially to my father, that not only was I independent, but I was smart and tough. |
