Nevertheless, the memory of the moment of death is still the most vivid. "There is something in the fear of chaotic war thankful for everything you have and you will always lose everything."

Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carry" is his 1990 publication on his experience in the Vietnam War and the conflict and tension he felt during the war. The Vietnam War was a 20-year conflict between the North and the South Vietnam (they were used as agents for the Soviet Union and the United States respectively) (expansion of the warfare lasted from 1965 to 1975).

The first is the theme of the Vietnam War. As in all the stories in the items they have, "above the Rain River" occurred during the Vietnam War, a 20-year clash between the North and Vietnam. The United States participated in the 1960s, and many American families were affected by the number of dead and injured. Draft was necessary because there were few young people who applied for war. This caused a national protest, especially at the university campus. The 1960s was an era of social unrest, feminists and civil rights movements also occurred. There is a disagreement between the people who support war and those who do not agree with the United States. Many young people burned card draft cards, or as Tim thought, they ran to Canada.
