1. This says that people at war have to adjust to their surroundings and basically create their own reality at war thats seperate from their world outside of war. I think that the war helps the soldiers bond together more and they strive for things to talk about and so they go on deeper levels of friendships. I think its more so then if they werent at war. Because the time they are together, any minute the person next to them could die. like for instance when Ted Died he made an impression on the guys before so that he would be remembered.
2. Mary Anne Bell was the chick that ended up taking part in the war by being a nurse. She was at first Fossies lover and then she turned on him because she loved the war more so. Obrien was trying to show us how the war can change people drastically. He made this character to be like this because she was an example for many other people who changed during the war.
3. Well the way Obrien presents the story is from his memory and not all of it is axactly true because its a long time to remeber all of it. I think it adds to the story and mnakes it more interesting cause its coming from someone who was actually in the war so his mind is veteran. I dont think it distracts from the story because for the most part hes being honest and trying to add the emotion to it as well. It adds to the story quite well and makes it more interesting by the way he makes it out.
