1. Yeah it's pretty sad that Wes Hamilton never could remember who's his fellow soldiers names really were, all he could remember was their nicknames. When you join the military and meet brand new people you get this feeling for them that you can't get anywhere else. that's why everyone gets a nickname because it's a personal things and only those soldiers can understand it. Compared to Wes Hamilton and his soldiers with the book is really similar, they all have that kind of bond. But i believe in the book Tom knows everybody by their real names. tp:https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm9_E9jGOoKVvSld53glbgE3u5LpMfSQ8sF6_-6kYEPjB-fRunFwm-czHaheWJud0Q4tFybBOegd2SMQuAP9Lem-edKTkzcdOoFNhaDe2V_YMIQq__plZpC73HASlrnhdsxufzxmPn0Og/s1600/band+of+brothers+04.jpg
2. In the book Tom is trying to tell the reader that women can fight in the war but i disagree strongly! I wouldn't want a women next to me with a rifle pretending she is fit for the job. If anything she should be behind the scenes doing the more complicated jobs like makes care packages for us or being a medic because i would say it would be very soothing for a girl to patch me up if i was injured. I would keep myself alive just for that to happen. http://fpstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops.jpg
3. I think Tom telling fake stories is stupid because nobody wants to hear a fake story, they all wanna know what happened and all the details. Like this book would be a lot better if he would talk less about how he felt in the war and talked more about what he did and the details into it to make it intense and the reader wanting to read even more. Like when he tells fake stories I find it useless to me but when he tells true stories I get really into it and wanna keep reading. The story is much more epic and a lot bigger impact in what I think. http://fpstribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Call-of-Duty-Black-Ops.jpg
When reading "The Things They Carried" Tom talks a lot of true and not true things. When he talks about the not true things I find it a big distraction when reading the book, it just makes me not care about it. If he were to not do that I would get more into the book a lot easier.
