A Soldier's Sweetheart (1998 TV Movie)

This is a crime to the book and what it stands for

[1/10 · 16 April 2006]

Tim O;Brien should have pan this from the beginning this is a short story among great short stories and the fact that they did this puts into question O'Brien's the things they carry. I have read the book and have a brother who went to Nam. My research paper on this book was about all the people that remember Nam should forget it and all the people who forgot it should remember it. the meaning to this is the soldiers went through hell at a very young age only to come back to a civilization who wanted to sweep it under the rug and the soldiers with it. this is why when telling a true war story is written by azar he calls the girl a cooze because she did not care that her brother was dead she rather not think of the war at all. If Tim O'Brien reads this i hope he sees that reading his novel makes us know what they went through and makes him remember that none of them wanted to be there. so belittling one of his stories with a movie he belittles his book and all the people he was trying to represent.
