The Things They Carried "In the Field" pg 155-172

In the Chapter "In the Field" The platoon arrives at a field and has to sleep the night in the field however after they realize its the towns toilet they don't find their sleeping spot so desirable. One of the soldiers dies in the night and ends up slowly sinking into the feces in the middle of the night despite one of the soldiers trying to pull him out. 

"Like Jimmy Cross, the boy was explaining things to an absent judge.  It wasn't to defend himself.  The boy recognized his own guilt and wanted only to lay out the full causes."

Tim doesn't accept kiowas death so he trys to blame himself and think of every logical reason its his fault.
