Two Places Mentioned...

There are several places where Tim O'Brien mentions his characters to be in, but I did some research and decided to mention the places where he himself was deployed. The two main places in which O'Brien listed were  known as My Lai and the Jungle in itself. First off Tim O'Brien was dropped in the Southern portion of Vietnam, where he then had to make his way through dense and thick forests with little to any sunshine, as it rained 3/4 of the time. O'Brien later made his way to the Village of My Lai, where in the previous year a massacred occurred killing hundreds of men, women, and children. He did his time there, then was later sent back to become the well pronounced writer that Tim O'Brien is today.
