Quotes:
The town could not talk, and would not listen. "How'd you like to hear about the war?" he might have asked, but the place could only blink and shrug.
This shows that Norman only knew one thing in life which was war. Even though the war was over he still wanted to talk to some one about it since he couldn't cope with it.

 "I felt sort of guilty almost, like if I'd kept my mouth shut none of it would've ever happened. Like it was my fault." […] "Nobody's fault," Bowker  said. "Everybody's.
This quote shows that Bowker is telling his whole team that to do put the blame on them. He is a gentle guy by doing this because he doesn't want anybody to feel bad about what happen.

Quotes:
"Tim, it's a war. The guy wasn't Heildi-he had a weapon, right? It's a tough thing, for sure , but you have to cut out that staring.
This quote shows that he knows what Tim O'Brien is going through when he killed that man. He is trying to help him calm him down and tell him that he did the right thing.

"You did a good thing today," [Kiowa] said. "That shaking hands crap, it isn't decent. The guys'll hassle you for a while—especially Jensen—but just keep saying no. Should've done it myself. Takes guts, I know that."

This quote shows that Kiowa is always there for anybody in his squad. He is a good friend to Tim since he is basically talking to him like his friend

Emotional
Tough
Great leader
Quotes:
"...Kiowa explained how Lavender died, Lieutenant Cross found himself trembling. He tried not to cry. With his entrenching tool, which weighed 5 pounds, he began digging a hole in the earth. He felt shame. He hated himself". 
This quote proves that Jimmy is responsible and emotional because he takes responsibility and feels like it was his fault.

Another quote " On the march he would impose strict field discipline. He would be careful to send out flank security, to prevent straggling or bunching up, to keep his troops moving at the proper pace and at the proper interval. He would insist on clean weapons. He would confiscate the remainder of Lavender's dope. Later in the day, perhaps, he would call the men together and speak to them plainly. He would accept the blame for what had happened to Ted Lavender. He would be a man about it. He would look them in the eyes, keeping his chin level, and he would issue the new SOPs in a calm, impersonal tone of voice, a lieutenant's voice, leaving no room for argument or discussion. Commencing immediately, he'd tell them, they would no longer abandon equipment along the route of march. They would police up their acts. They would get their shit together, and keep it together, and maintain it neatly and in good working order. He would not tolerate laxity. He would show strength, distancing himself". This shows that Jimmy is a great leader because he can keep things under control. 

He reminds me of Ghost

He believed he was above the war. He even had a full ride scholarship for grad studies at Harvard. He was smart not, but not no soldier. 

"When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I have ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; she knew I'd been a soldier. 'You keep writing these war stories,' she said, 'so I guess you must've killed somebody.' It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, 'Of course not,' and then take her onto my lap and hold her for a while." 

This quote is one of the two main things about Tim b/c he was all about what a perfect war story really was and he wanted to share the experiences, but it was to hard for him especially to his daughter who was only nine she just seemed too young so he just writes away for his perfect war story. 

"It was a moral split. I couldn't make up my mind. I feared the war, yes, but I also feared exile. I was afraid of walking away from my own life, my friends and family, my whole history, everything that mattered to me. I feared losing the respect of my parents. I feared the law. I feared ridicule and censure."

This quote is the second main thing about Tim b/c he honestly hated the war and he was a grad study on the way to Harvard he believed he was no soldier and he hated the war, wanted nothing to do with it. He even wanted to leave off to Canada, but fear was too much for him and this quote shows that.
