A Memory Question

 Memory is a strange thing. I just finished a book that I first read 30 years ago. I remember it quite differently. 

Then I would have recommended it to my JROTC students. For some reason, I did not. Now I would not have recommended it.

As far as war stories about Vietnam go, it was a very good read. It just bothers me that I remember it so differently. But then, the story is about one soldier and how he remembered events and changed them in his mind.

I wonder why I did.
