Hey guys/gals,
Hoping someone can help me with this.
I am working on a scholarly article and am trying to determine why an author would have changed the dates of a character's service dates from the first edition to the later ones.
I have a theory that the author wanted to place him in Vietnam for something that happened in those months he tacked on, but all of my research has led to dead ends.
Any help at all would be appreciated and I would cite your valuable intel in the paper.
Thanks in advance, Kris

- In the first edition, the character, a sniper, served from August 7, 1966 to May 2, 1968.
- In revised editions, he serves from August 7, 1966 to September 2, 1968.
