Edwards argues with O’Brien about how this is a good country and he just needs “some faith, some discipline” (O’Brien 64). Chaplain Edwards goes on to argue about how the Romans and the Greeks were all built on armies, and tells O’Brien that he just needs to see how great America really is and when he does then he will be eager to fight for his country. Chaplain Edwards uses the fact that he has been to Russia and has seen it first hand, and have seen how people live there. Chaplain Edwards then goes on asking if O’Brien thinks “Ho Chi Minh is gonna bring heaven to South Vietnam?” (O’Brien 66). Edwards then proceeded to say to O’Brien, “you’re betraying your country when you say these things. I’ve met people who don’t like Vietnam, sure, but you’re icy about it. Where the hell do you fit guts and bravery into your scheme?” (O’Brien 66). I feel as though chaplain Edwards is not really taking O’Brien’s fears and concerned really into consideration and only seeing him as almost like this anti-war
