The Things They Carried

What does metaphoric unity mean?

In "Notes" O'Brien says "a metaphoric unity is broken" what does that mean? 

Please tell me everything about metaphoric unity. I have a socratic seminar!!

I have provided a link below that provides an excellent definition of metaphoric unity. I will look further to see if I can find exactly how this was applied to "The Things They Carried."
