In the story "Good Form" by Tim O'Brien, The author explains how a true war story is more of a story from the person's perspective rather than the truth. Tim O'Brien saw a man die and says he didn't kill him but feels the guilt as if he did this shows how an event in a soldier's perspective makes them think its true. This story relates to "How to tell a true war story" because the author explains how a true war story is never completely true. A true war story is based on what a soldier sees and believes. He also says if his daughter asked him if he's ever killed anyone he would say of course not but really he has. This fact is also based on his audience because he wouldn't tell his little daughter he's killed someone but if she was older he probably would. He also explains true war story details can be told after questions.
