The other "things" that the soldiers are carrying are intangible feelings and emotions that burden them during the war. Such as Jimmy Cross's feelings and love for Martha. It got Ted Lavender killed.
One character that we have read and I have learned about is Lieutenant Jimmy Cross. He is creepishly in love with a girl named Martha. He is the platoon leader of the bunch of soldiers we have been reading about. He has been rejected by Martha in the past but he still is hoping that she will fall for him. I predict that controversy over his love for Martha and his men will cause problems in the platoon.
All of these pieces are the same because they all talk about the Vietnam War and each share information on the war and things that happened during it. Each of the pieces have their own special connection to the war and together there is a bunch of helpful facts and information.
