In the chapter "Field Trip" O'Brien and his daughter travel to Vietnam and visit the site of Kiowa's death. O'Brien and 10-year-old Kathleen visit the tourist spots, which she enjoys, but it is clear to him that she does not understand the war that had happened 20 years earlier.
"Like coming over here. Some dumb thing happens a long time ago and you can't ever forget it."
The flashback of Kiowas death haunts Tim slightly so when him and his daughter visit vietnam he gets nervous and has memories pour into him of the time of the war. His daughter is very naive about this and doesn't understand what happened back then.
