The Things They Carried

from Les Incompetent · host Austin Schindel and Zachary Whitt

This week on Les Incompetent, we are covering Tim O'Briens novel The Things They Carried; A hisotrical fiction account of his time in the Vietnam War, and what is really important. He shows us what a real war story is, how connecting with others is needed in times such as war, and how simple innocence can be corrupted by war. Its an incredibly powerful book, and it shows the humanity on display, something that is always lacking when war is discussed.
