This is Sean F. 1st block. user name: fitzzzo. Steve is marrying a girl who's baby isn't his. at this time period, this is a sign of weakness because she is taking advantage of him and he's too gutless to stick up for himself. this would translate to being a coward on the battleground. submitting even though you have been wronged. Nick is too sensitive. he would rather look at trees instead of hunt, and he gets real emotional when talking about his home. because of his sensitivity, the war has a huge psychological effect on him. Mike is tough and prepared. he doesn't share his boots and he kills his deer in one shot. in battle he has all of his Sh*t together. He is very rational and doesn't let his emotions get in the way. (optimal soldier.)the prelude of the movie reflects exactly how the friends handle the war. it would be very unbelievable to do the war segment differently, because the movie has already made the characters' personalities incredibly precise. to deviate from that would confuse the watcher.
