Joe believes that life is worth fighting for, more than anything else. Contrary to this, Joe doesn't believe that things like democracy or political ideals are worth sacrificing your life for. What's ironic about this is that war has been described by others as "the continuation of politics". Joe is expected by everybody, not just American culture, to be willing to doe for his countries political ideals, where in reality, Joe deplores death and finds that it lacks nobility in itself.

Nice post Owen. I agree, Joe believes that this war was for pride of countries. He doesnt want to fight for something that his life isnt worth for. I also agree that if one looses their life over something they fight for then what would be the point.
