In "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, it describe the items that the soldiers carried with them during the war. And they all carried a lot of different things along with them , sometime they carried personal things with them which are the things that are meaningful to them. In the book, it talked about how the soldiers were taking turns carrying a 28 pound mine detector and it is extremely stressful for them to carry with. But they insisted to have it with them because it made them feel save and give them the comfort they were looking for even though they know it is not really a helpful object to have with them.
