I think that Swofford had mental problems before he went to the war and it continue after he left. The war did not change him mentally.He was upset that he did not kill anyone during the war for him means that he fail himself and the country. That this would make him look weak among the other soldiers.That if he survive the war he has no real stories to bring back with him.
I think he had a conflicted soul. Some days he felt strongly about his views on the war and some days he oppose his views on killing soldiers.

9/11 twin towers
when I saw that video about 911 in class. I remember that day so vividly because it had such a
deep impact in my life. I knew from that day my life would never be the same. Also the way we
live as citizens of this country will change. When I saw the twin towers burning it felt like I was
looking at a scene for a movie. I could not register in my brain for the first few minutes that what
I was seeing is not some special effects for a movie and it was real. I was on that block with the
the towers just two days prior to that day. So for me I thought about what if it was on that day
would I still be alive today.
