    In his book If I Die In A Combat Zone, Tim O'Brien shines a light on his time spent training and fighting in the Vietnam War. O’Brien makes it clear that he believes that the Vietnam War as a whole was unnecessary by attesting to the violence it brought, the lack of motivation of the soldiers, and the morals it brought into question. From the beginning of training to life in a non-combat position in the Vietnam War, O’Brien depicts and even sometimes argues against not only the unnecessary violence, but the frequent, unnecessary violence. This starts during his first days of basic training; after being selected to go on to advanced training, O’Brien describes the AIT training program as the declaration that solidifies the fact that you are on the way to the war, or as he puts its, the “pending doom” (57). This feeling of an inevitable demise was not exclusive to the United States either; it was the one of the first remarks O’Brien made about vietnam.…

He often talks about how time has had an affect on him. If not for the experiences and things he had done, he would be a completely different person.…

    This is a major similarity between the author and the narrator’s life that is impossible to miss. At the end of the story the narrator made the important decision to “go to the war… because he was embarrassed not to,” (O’Brien 186). Tim made the same decision in real life and received a purple heart for being hit with shrapnel while fighting in Vietnam. However, we do not know if he made the decision to fight for the same reason. Tim may have realized the right reason to go to war instead of returning and fighting because “he couldn’t risk the embarrassment” (O’Brien 186) of leaving his family like the narrator did in the story.…
