O'Brien finishes telling his story about how he ended up deciding to go to war. It seemed like every logical thinking part of his body said that the best thing to do was jump out of the boat and swim to Canada but it was his moral fiber that made him stay, despite his best effort to make himself go.
Next O'Brien writes a chapter entitled “enemies.” This chapter stands to prove the quote by Abraham Lincoln that “a war on two fronts is impossible to win” Although, I'm not exactly sure this is the kind on two fronts war that he had in mind when he said this. This true story really demonstrates the immense amount of pressure put on soldiers in a war and how close to the breaking they really are. I think that that is why O'Brien chose this story to illustrate this truth with.
