Now that Joe has discovered a way to communicate, his isolated, trapped, and unconnected feelings are slowly diminishing, but he must make a decision on how he is going to live this new life that was forced upon him through his service to the country. Joe could move on, look for his friends and family and attempt to put his life back together as much as possible. Yes, this would evolve into something much different than how he interacted with them previously, but at least he would have the opportunity to rekindle those connections. Instead Joe chooses to use his story and physical body as an example of failed war choices, he wants to get out and prove his points regarding combat and service. I kind of feel like this life path would benefit neither the recipients of his story or himself. Why would he want to continue to relive those treacherous and damaging years of his life? I also think that people would continue to volunteer for war even after listening to his story, most servicemen are aware of the risks before hand and that is part of the honorable job as a participant in the army. I don't agree with Joe's desires after living in the hospital for 6 years. I would want to put back the pieces as best as I could and try to relive those last 6 years if I hadn't gotten hurt. I know it is unfair for me to pass judgement but I can't see myself leaving behind everything I had ever developed to try to expose the flaws of war.
