The second scene begins with a voice-off from the battlefield. We hear voices of both 'Iraqi and Iranian soldiers who are repeating the same cries, asking for blessedness from God, Prophet Mohammed, 'Ali, and Hussein. The hysterical cries of the soldiers are heard along with sounds of explosions and machine guns. The young man wakes up and it turns out to be his dream. The war is thus presented as this young man 's timeless and eternal nightmarish present. Similar to the rest of the soldiers, he calls onto Hussein, the Prophet 's grandson, but he also shouts that his friend, Hussein, has been slain in the same manner.

The Vietnam War is a tough pill to swallow, whether you were part of it, heard stories of it or only learned about it by watching ' 'Forrest Gump ' ', it is an alienating subject to most of the people on this earth. And while most of us, hopefully, will never find out what war feels like, smells like or how it is to get out of it, Tim O 'Brian 's account makes it relateable to us how dreadful it is how it is to be in a war zone.

Gardner writes about this concept when he says, “most five-year-olds have developed a Star Wars script. Life consists of a struggle between Good and Bad forces, with the Good generally triumphant”
