O’Brien raises various issues that relate to courage, cowardice, war, tragedy, and alienation. I feel that he puts enough effort to explain these issues in the collection, The Things They Carried. Indeed, the author succeeds in showing how young soldiers joined the Vietnam War out of peer pressure, for material benefits, and because of fear of becoming a coward in the society.
