Simply put, this is a tale of two young men who are unexpectedly forced into the choices of being drafted for the Vietnam War, resisting the draft, or enlisting in a branch of the military. Neither knew each other before this dilemma. Neither believed the draft would be good for them. Neither had strong political convictions about the Vietnam War. Neither felt resisting the draft was appropriate. However, each believed in democracy and the United States of America, so they enlisted in the U.S. Navy. From different parts of this country these two young men were now on a confusing collision course to meet each other, become good friends, and learn of the absurdities of military life. They each found that life can be satisfying even if the circumstances surrounding them did not offer satisfaction. Life is what you make it.
