American media continues to express that America is great and can protect everyone. There was no need for a white man to show up and save Thao. Despite growing up fatherless, there was no need for this father figure to show up in his life. Though so many of the Hmong men disappeared, this act is an insult to those veterans.

Though he wondered if war is truly as gruesome as it is made out to be, he later understands that it is, and as an author, one should leave such details in even if they seem intangible. The rape scene he offers the reader is an unfortunate, but realistic aspect to war. It shows the cruelty of war without having to be a complete gore fest. Sun, 08 Nov 2015 08:39:40 -0500
