Enemies-Two Faced

I think this chapter length really shows the amount of pressure and new sense of justice the soldiers have. To show this pressure re-read this chapter Jensen was going through after the fight "At night he had trouble sleeping-a skittish feeling- always on guard, hearing strange noises in the dark, imagining a grenade rolling into his foxhole or the tickle of a knife against his ear. The distinction between good guys and bad guys disappeared for him." (page 60)
This "little" quote reminds me of the scene in "Emperors New Groove" when Kronk is running around singing his theme song, paranoid of everything. Sure these two men had fought but they're not out to kill each other. It just adds to another thing they carry, and then they are filled with a new sense of justice when Jenson broke his nose (or Jenson couldn't afford plastic surgery). I mean that type of Justice wouldn't of worked in a court house but it makes thing easier on the battle field.
