Jimmy Cross was the leader for the group of soldiers and he carried with him letters and a good luck pebble from a girl named Martha who he loved though.
This notion is further emphasised through the use of jargon in the lines, “The Japs used to weigh us, to see how thin our bodies could get before we started dying”. This statement implies the nature of the camp to be brutal and unforgivable. Misto has incorporated both visual images and jargon to create an effective sense of authority to therefore relive their experience of war through memory. Likewise, the poem Dulce et decorum est by Wilfred Owen is how the post himself saw war with no knowledge, imagination or training which prepared Owen for the shock and suffering of front line experience.

shows, but through real life people. It is almost certain that these men will probably experience some type of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. “Combat fatigue,” “shell shock,” or “war neurosis” (Kulka) are all associated with PTSD. But with the weight of Lt. Cross’s men on his shoulders, their lives resting in his hands, is definitely hard. Battling the war of love in his head, asnd battling the Vietnam War as well, is a great means of PTSD in the making.
This means he had both positional authority and ranking authority, which I say because one does not dictate the other. Now that we know what Lt. Cross position was, we need to determine what his obligations were. Well the narrator tells us fairly early in the story, “As first lieutenant and platoon leader, Jimmy Cross carried a compass, maps, code books, binoculars and a .45-caliber pistol that weighed 2.9 pounds fully loaded. He carried a strobe light and the responsibility for the lives of his men.” This alone does not condemn Lt. Cross because it has not yet been intimated the circumstances of Ted Lavenders death.

Kowalski’s scowling character symbolizes a precise form of masculinity that relies on blatant prejudice as a collective feature. A close up shot on the grandchildren looking at old photographs from Walt’s experiences during the Korean War support the idea of masculinity he sets his life around. “We shot men, stabbed them with bayonets, chopped up seventeen year olds with shovels” the brutally honest dialogue concerning his time during War also supports his braveness and masculine obligations. The audio motif of the army drums reflects upon the masculinity of Walt’s character and reminds the audience of his background, also acknowledging the intention for him to pull out his gun.
