The Things They Carried "Ambush" pg 125-128

In the chapter "Ambush" O'Brian's daughter Kathleen asks if he had killed anyone in the war. However he insists he has never killed anyone and later on thought about and decided she was an adult and he may tell her the story later on.

"He was a short, slender young man of about twenty. I was afraid of him—afraid of something—and as he passed me on the trail I threw a grenade that exploded at his feet and killed him"

This Quote explains how O'Brian killed the man and why along with his feelings towards the man before the death.
