we were in Isis's last base underground in a science lab with secret super solders in chambers that would take one million solders to take out one super solder.

In the book "The things thy Carried" written by Tim Obrien we can see a story about solders at Vietnam War. The connections i will be talking about are "Woman in war" and "The loss of innicence". Tim Obrien shows us those connections through chapters as "Sweet heart of the song tra bong", "The Things they carries", "Love" and "Field trip".

Another simile the author uses us "like old beggars under sacks" gives a description of solders which are being physically exhausted. His use of imagery brings the total picture of what goes on during war. The author is showing imagery of his soldiers' "jumping" around acting crazy of the gas nearby.

Though O'Brien's use of juxtaposition and shifts in point of view, he is able to not only show the “crazy powers of war”, but also conveys how war stories aren't true unless they are unbelievable.
