The Things He Carried

by Makerofthebuttswagger
A very young man, fresh out of Vietnam, finds himself in Equestria with a horrifying past weighing him down. Can he get help, or is it too late?

WARNING: There are some Christian themes involved in this story here and there.

Private Tobias O'Leary, 21 years old, once found himself in the thick of a war he never wanted to fight. He has seen many things - too many - and finds himself hoping it will all stop one day, even if it means through death.

Vietnam - a tropical nightmare.

However, when he finds himself in a strange new land, how will he cope? Will Twilight and her friends be able to help him before things get too dark? Or will Toby let his PTSD get the better of him? Will he allow himself to heal from his wounds, and rebuild his faith?

Oh, DANG! Featured! How about that.
