The truth in O'Brian's essay is interesting because reality sucks. The truth is that war stories could never provide the absolute truth because you can never tell a story about something that happened exactly how it happen. Honestly, there is most likely thousands of different stories about the same exact thing. Every person sees things diffrently which gives them freedom to tell their story in their own way. Each version is slanted, this is why you can't believe everything that you read and hear. Also, in this essay I learned that when something is so horrible, it makes it that much more difficult to tell the story. Hopefully, the writer isn't crazy and didn't just add randum things that never happened.
