A young lieutenant carries a photograph of a girl who doesn't love him back. Her eyes look past the camera, indifferent, distant-yet he studies this image obsessively, constructing elaborate fantasies while his men sleep in the mud. When one of those men dies during a routine bathroom break, the lieutenant burns every letter, every photograph, convinced his daydreaming cost a life. But twenty years later, he pulls out a new photograph of the same woman. Some weights never lighten. This is how war works-not through grand battles or heroic charges, but through the accumulation of small, unbearable weights. The soldiers in Vietnam humped rifles and ammunition, C rations and claymore mines. They carried mosquito repellent and dog tags, M-16s weighing 7.5 pounds, M-60 machine guns at 23 pounds, PRC-25 radios at 26 pounds. But the truly crushing loads were invisible: grief for fallen friends, terror of hidden mines, guilt over killing, homesickness like a stone in the gut, and the responsibility of keeping each other alive. They carried America itself-its inflated dreams, naive patriotism, distant parades and protests-representing a nation increasingly divided about their presence there.
