ok I got ambrose's bob book just finished reading it and this got my attention (my book is in portuguese so yall get the pdf)
I immediatly thought of Sledge. I just think is interesting how it's always (two times as far as I know but still) birds, like seeing such harmless, defenseless, small creatures hurt, in this case by his own hands, makes them snap (?) I dont know how to explain how i see it, it's like they finally see they still can do such thing, even with no apparent reason like Ralph said "the bird had done me no harm and couldn't have", they were so tired of all that violence and death but they still took it home with them. I like how, with Sledge, people always have something to say about that hunting scene in the last episode, how it represents his innocence in a way, or maybe he couldn't hunt them because he was back home but he was different and didnt want to "stain" the memory of the boy he used to be, he probably went hunting before but now it was different, he was different, hunting after all he saw and did would be more than just that, it would show him he did leave his humanity behind it would be him staying in the war and bringing it even closer than it already is. He didn't want that, he didn't want that uniform, didn't want to but he had to live with those nightmares. He wasn't that boy anymore and we can see that he feels inadequate when he comes back, but to his mother, maybe even his brother if just a little, he is still a boy. He lives in his old house and sleeps in his old room but he knows he is no longer that person and because of this loss he doesn't want the memory and innocence of that boy to be tarnished by the man he is becoming/is, in a way he's still mourning that boy.

Instead, the sight of Cary on screen only serves as fodder for his overactive fantasies. By the halfway point, when the popcorn is long gone, he can't stop imagining himself and Bill in the place of Cary and Alexis Smith, switching places each second so the image never sticks beyond the knowledge of the fact that it's definitely Bill he'd rather see on the screen. More than once throughout the filmâs runtime, Jay glances over to Bill to watch the angles of his face lit up under the screenâs light and to take in the way his expressions fold and change in reaction to the story, and he finds it impossibly hard to tear his eyes away.
what level of whipped is it to think your boy best friend looks better than cary grant.
