“Is everything that he has been saying what he has experienced in life so far?”

Paul has had a very troubled, hard, and difficult journey in this war. He has gone through things that not an ordinary person would ever have gone through and yet he still thrives. When Paul explains and talks about how everything that has happened to him and that all of his feelings are nothing but greed of life, love of home, and the yearning for the blood intoxication of deliverance he actually has a feeling that everyone else has including him. It’s that if his fellow comrades return home there will be no justice to be served and also the fact that he will not only feel that he’s alone but also feel that no one will understand him like he does back at home. He’s afraid and he also knows that there will be no future towards his own generation, it’s over the fact that some of his comrades are just shelled human beings with the amount of traumatic experiences that has occurred to all of his fellow soldiers. He’s frightened that he would have no goals in life and he wouldn’t be able to live knowing that his comrades and himself are suffering and can no longer properly rest. Everyone wants to come back feeling the love of home and wanting to keep on living for their future grandchildren, their future kids or even their current kids. Paul knows that war happens and knows that horrible things happen in the war but not everyone has control over it. Everyone knows that once you have been drafted into the military not only do you swear to serve and protect your people but to also sacrifice your life to them for the greater good. He knows that everyone might come back dead, alive or as living corpses that don’t actually function as well as they used to before when they were happy, gleeful and overall enjoying their life. Paul really wonders why they have chosen to voluntarily join the army. Paul realizes that at even the heat of the moment he listened to that patriotic speech and decided to join the army he had no regrets at the moment he was actually almost glad that the end had come. Paul had fallen forward and died with a calm expression knowing that even if the months and years come they can’t take anything away from him because now he is alone and having any hope he can deal with them without any fear. He has a boundless will that is with him and chooses to die peacefully, that is when he learns how to properly less for the first time in a long time. Even though Paul had been experiencing a lot of pain and suffering, in the end Paul had truly won the war resting peacefully without any regrets.
