In a story set after this war, Henry jumps into a river and tells his brother Lyman “my boots are filling” before he drowns. In a story set after this war, Norman Bowker walks fully clothed into his hometown lake after driving around it twelve times, only stopping to get a hamburger. After being shot twice, the protagonist of a story set during this war vows to scare the inexperienced medic Bobby Jorgenson using flares and sandbags. This war is the subject of a collection that contains “How to Tell a True War Story” and another story in which Kiowa drowns in a sewage field. Lieutenant Jimmy Cross lists “can openers, pocket knives, heattabs, wristwatches” in a story set during this war in which Ted Lavender is shot in the head. For 10 points, name this war, the backdrop of the stories in Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried. ■END■
