This line comes from "The Things They Carried" by Tim O Brien when he served in Vietnam. The term hard vocabulary to contain terrible softness simply reflects what he has done to serve in Vietnam. In times of war, it is not good to be internally soft as it may serve as weakness to enemies. Therefore, hard vocabulary refers to the words that one would say to himself and others in order to project strength and hide softness or weakness inside.

The US Army, commanded by MacArthur, Patton, and Eisenhower, targeted WWI soldiers on July 28, 1932, with tanks, bayonets, and tear gas. The service members of World War I belonged to a bonus army that came to Washington. To order the wartime rewards offered.

The Army was then instructed by president Herbert Hoover to the body block of marchers. General Douglas MacArthur, Press secretary of the Army, controlled the infantry and troops of six tanks With their spouses and children, the Bonus Army marchers were forced out and their tents and possessions were burned.

Although it was named ' the grave ' bonus, ' the service members were satisfied with the requirement that the bonus could be paid immediately on the soldier's death. Economic relaxation wanted the upfront payment of the bonus.
