The Things They Carried "Enemies" pg 59-61

    The chapter "enemies" is about a fight between two soldiers Lee Strunk and Dave Jensen. At the end Jensen feels the guilt of breaking Strunk's nose and ends up taking a pistol and breaking his own nose. When Strunk finds out everything becomes square between them. 

"Jesnsen couldnt relax. Like fighting two different wars, he said. No safe ground: enemies everywhere. No front or rear."

    This excerpt is about the anger and suspicion and stress build up during the war and in between the fight of these two solidiers.
