Below is a video presentation by Weinlein and Dwyer that investigates Tim O'Brien's perspective of the Vietnam War through his work, "The Things They Carried". I think this is an interesting video , it gives out some specific information such as 61% of the men killed were 21 years old and younger. The pictures shows how brutal the war was, it doesn't only take away many life on both Vietnam and American soldiers but a lot of young men that haven't even start to live their life. The war caused nearly 200 billion for America and many innocent life. I can never think of being in the war not knowing what are the purpose of the war, it must be hard for the soldiers and unfair that they didn't know why they are fighting Vietnam for. I'm glad I watched this clip, it gives me better understanding of how the life was like in Vietnam war.
