O'Brien and his daughter have an interesting trip. While O'Brien is reliving his war, and memories. Kathleen is making memories instead of reliving them. This separates the two travellers by a ton. I don't really know what O'Brien was thinking, I mean this 10 year old might be a picture of a smart child but there isn't any way she can't really understand why he wants to go to random field. She is seeing this place in a new light, a joyful path with a tour guide that can do magic tricks.
So I guess this shows the differences of people in the war. There are the ones involved and then there are the ones that try to understand. Try as I she might Kathleen won't be able to understand, and try as O'Brien might he can't get her to see his shit field. Both parties need to be prepared to shuttle in this gap, so they can both understand.
