Joe does not understand war and thinks that it is stupid how people sign up to die. All you are fighting for in war is for words, like liberty, democracy, freedom. He thinks that if you don’t personally see it and feel it then it is absolutely stupid to be fighting for words. He says all these people have fought and died in the past but have they gotten anywhere? Are they different than anyone else in the world? No, everyone fights for things that just don’t exactly happen and they usually end up dead so they never benefit from it. He thinks it is stupid that people do that. Joe doesn’t see the point in fighting for words and fighting for things you cannot see. He says that it is alright to fight for small things that is only one person but if you fight for more then it turns into a word. Even when you are fighting for a small thing though you shouldn’t risk your life and you don’t, you just bargain.

Vivian, bringing up the fact that freedom is just another word along with democracy and what not is a very good point. I know that Joe pointed that out and I think it's important that you included that. Joe has no reason to go off to war, in fact it is just a word to him because he has no emotional tie to it. If he were fighting for something like Kareen, then he would go full force, but the fact that he isn't fighting for anything tangible is not sitting well with him. Good job.
