        I think that this quote means that they were fighting for peace in the war and it hurt so much to get it back. I think that the solders wanted to change their own live, they didn’t want to fight, they just wanted to be home with their family, and it hurt that they knew they could never have it. I also think it means how he can be feeling peace when there is so much death around him. This shows that the soldier's idea of peace can be different from mine.
