Plot Summary: Richie is a 17-year-old black kid from Harlem, who gets sent to Vietnam in 1967. This tells the story of his year of active duty and the horrors of war.
Complaints: Offensive language, violence
Solonor Says Ban It Because: This is like that 'Red Badge of Courage' thing. If we keep teaching kids how bad war is, they aren't going to want to go!
