Resentment

Being sick of it all, some soldiers want to just go home no no longer care what the army has to say about it. Page 255 "I do not give a shit anymore" Xavier says in cree and later on also says"Tell the lieutenant that I fucked his mother last night". Soldier became angry at their leaders when they were ordered to do something that put them in extreme danger. Xavier says "I am sick of the army and want to go back to Mushkegowuk ". Another reason for resentment amongst the soldiers is that to become a medal holder, is to do the unthinkable in battle, which some soldiers will not do. They because of this become miserable for not being recognized and are overlooked by the other soldiers, sergeants, and lieutenants. However Xavier's resentment was toward Lisete for her not telling him the truth and with Elijah for setting him up and not telling him the truth also. I believe that soldiers during the war had many battles the battle with the enemy, with their leadership, and with their own values and beliefs.
