The following quotation demonstrates how little the boy actually knows about war: “The man loved military books and pictures and the boy had understood enough to make himself a wooden sword […]” (Bierce 189). Although the child leaves in the hopes of becoming a victor, as his ancestors would have it, and wishing to win imaginary fights with his little wooden sword, it is made clear that his vision of war is one of a naïve youngster who has yet to learn about the cruelty of combat.

When he finally sees what he determines to be wounded men, his childish innocence prevents him from seeing the gravity, the morbidity of the situation: “To him it was a merry spectacle” (Bierce 192).
