“Every time I go on deployment, I always bring my clippers because people need haircuts,” said Sharples. “I didn’t bring a lot of my supplies and equipment, but once I got to McGregor, I really saw the need to help my coworkers keep up their professional appearance.”
Sharples said that he initially resisted being a barber and it wasn’t until his father asked if he thought about cutting his sons’ hair.

He used the Thanksgiving Holiday to visit family and to gather his professional hair cutting supplies.
“I’ve got all professional stuff when it comes to the equipment and I try to keep up with all the supplies and skills I would use in a barbershop,” said Sharples. “I want people to walk away with a professional haircut and a great experience, so I keep everything as clean as possible. “
Sharples says a Soldier from the outgoing unit provided barber services as well, and the two men went out to the common area in Camp America and cut hair, sometimes as late as 11 p.m. Currently, Sharples says he gives 4-6 haircuts per night.
“The location is ideal because we are in a common area and people are either going to the gym, going to the movies, or going to wash laundry,” said Sharples. “Usually I start cutting hair around 1900 hours, but I try to be flexible with my hours because I do this to help take care of Soldiers.”
Sharples noted that being convenient to fellow Troopers is essential because many of them work different shifts and this affects their ability to access the official

In the Captain’s perspective, he perceives the rebels as bad people and in the barber’s point of view he believes the Captain is the bad guy. Captain Torrez walks inside a barbershop and puts his gun into his holster and hangs his weapon up by the door, at the front of the shop.

‘The barber man was small and flash, as barbers mostly are, he wore a strike-your-fancy sash, he smoked a huge cigar.’
Young men who are sent to a war learn the reality in a very harsh and brutal way. Both the stories, ‘The Red Convertible’ and ‘The Things They Carried’ portray the life of a young soldier and how he psychologically gets affected from all the things he had seen in the war. Tim O’Brien’s ‘The Things They Carried,’ is more specific on the experiences of a soldier during a war where as Karen Louise Erdrich focuses more on describing the post war traumatic stress in her short story ‘The Red Convertible’. One thing similar in both the narrations is the Vietnam War and its consequences on the soldiers.

The sniper and the barber have numerous things in common. Both characters are very gentle on what they choose to do. They think over things that they believe could affect them whatsoever. In “The Sniper”, the story states, “He paused for a moment, considering whether he should risk a smoke.”. This means he would think about what consequences would come with his choices. In “Lather and Nothing Else”, it declares, “I would have to shave his beard just like any other, carefully, neatly, just as though he were a good customer, taking heed that not a single pore should emit a drop of blood.”. It proves that the barber would have to carefully do his job just as if he was an honest, normal and respectful customer. Additionally, they both do their job. And are very commited too. The barber says, “ No, sir. You came in to
Majority of us guy’s go to a barbershop to get a sharp haircut or just to kick back and get a laugh out of all the crazy and funny story’s that customers or barbers like to share.
