Quote #10
Colonel Read shook his head sadly. "I know, Tim," he said. "I know. War is never fair. Who chooses which men get killed and which ones don't?" He touched my shoulder. "You have to accept it now. Be brave, and help your mother to bear up. She needs somebody now."
But I didn't feel brave nor like bearing up. All I felt was angry and bitter and ready to kill somebody. (14.3-4)
Tim is really upset that Sam is going to be killed. So much so, in fact, that he talks to General Putnam and tries to rescue Sam in the middle of the night. Poor Tim has wanted to be brave his whole life, and now that he finally is, all he feels is anger.
