15 My Sense Of Duty I had to go on October 15th. Although I had never been in a demonstration, I then felt the need to be counted as a student against the war. For too long I had heard the cries of grief stricken mothers and seen people dead or dying on the news every night. There was no point to the war and no end. Soon the men I see in school every day will be called to kill a man they have no quarrel with. The women must stay home and wonder if they will ever see their brothers or husbands again. For me march- ing was an easy act, killing will be a hard one. The choice is mine.
