The physical burdens the soldiers in "The Things They Carried" carry is?

The physical burdens in the novel were a representation of the emotional burdens they all carried with them. For example the soldier who carries his girlfriends pantyhose/stocking is carrying her memory and his love for her everywhere he goes. I think it's a recurring motif more than any of the other options you listed.
