Question:

In "the things they carry" what is the author theme about war?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: do u mean "what does the author think about war?" ?? he thinks it is cruel, that he had to see all his friends die and he makes it. and even though he makes it, he has to deal with the affects such as post traumatic stress disorder. i read it last year, so alittle old in my head, but hope i helped.
