Vietnam War through The Things They Carried

PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING! 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. Submitted for Mr. Mody's American Experience class at Burnt Hills HS. Please keep in mind that despite some of the content and parts the lyrics, this site (and all those connected to my account) is intended for use by primarily high school students. This means I will not approve comments with vulgarity or with questionable, derogatory, or inflammatory content. I do understand that this may come off as hypocritical as there is some vulgarity in the song itself. You are free to comment on whether or not you like/agree with the video and/or the novel it is attempting to summarize. Criticism is fair game in my eyes, as long as it is insightful and in good taste. The song is "This is War" by Smile Empty Soul.

so? we are the world police, we help things get better to make this world better believe it or not, we helped south korea, we helped europe countries in WWI and WWII with aiding them in the war, and right after WWII we even helped rebuild cities and what not(the marshal plan)even though they lost we helped south vietnam, we helped all sorts of other countries i cant even remember, all so that we can make humanity safer. By building bases in iraq we help stop terrorism and keep things in order

the vietnam war: the first of many profiteering orchestrated wars by the military industrial complex.

war. why does it happen? is it for power? for justice? freedom? peace? no one knows why they do it. they send a million lives into war and come back with a thousand. so sad.
