When you are out of war you usually do not believe the crazy stuff that people say sometimes like my bestfriend killed herself or I won the lottery. When you are in the war you have to believe the unusual stuff like my bestfriend died or I was held hostage by the enemy. The second example is super unusual because no one, who is sane, would go outside and kill something to let their emotions out. The only reason why Rat did it is because that was probably the only way for him to let out his emotions. Everyone else has their own problems and probably don’t want to hear another person’s problem. Outside of war you would talk to someone to let your feelings out. These two examples show that these stories are going to be hard to grasp since they are unusual to people that aren’t in the war or haven’t dealt with
