"War is so awful that a person will remember it always."
Reason: the story shows the protagonist unable to leave his wartime self behind — he is haunted by memories, marked (physically or psychologically) by what he experienced, and repeatedly slips back into the identity shaped by battle. The tone is not nostalgic or celebratory, nor does it treat war as a harmless illusion or merely a youthful thrill; instead it emphasizes the lasting, traumatic effects of war.
