Dawes: No, I'm not denying it - so what are you trying to argue with?

Because I felt the same way when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and everyone I knew wanted to go to war, including Myself; two people in my hometown committed suicide because they failed the medical examination and could not join the army. I was working in a weapons defense factory and could defer joining the army, but that was wrong. Others were fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, while I was sitting at home. That was wrong. I had to join the army. I had the energy and enthusiasm to be a medical soldier. Going to the front line bears the same risks as everyone else, but when everyone is taking lives, I want to save lives. The world is falling apart and disintegrating, and I just want to put it back together bit by bit. Is this wrong?

It’s too troublesome to type by hand, so Dawes’ father stopped typing if he said no
