Additional Info: If you are an English, Journalism or Social Studies teacher, we are available to visit your class and discuss our observations of the Iraq War and the Vietnam War. English teachers that have selected ‘The Things They Carried’ by Tim O’Brien have used us to help their students get a clearer understanding of being in a war. Each speaker has a personal sense of what has occurred to him/her and their buddies, but, we all agree that politicians seldom have the experience and understanding of what a young person feels when ‘put in harm’s way’. |
