O'Brien writes,
What he should've done, he told himself, was follow his first impulse. In the late afternoon yesterday, when they reached the night coordinates, he should've taken one look and headed for higher ground. No excuses. (pg161)
This quote shows how luck is not always on your side and in a true story you are not always lucky and bad things do happen. Some times things could have been batter but in real stories people don't always have full control over their future and even if they have control they may not know the outcome. O'Brien says that war doesn't leave you with a uplifting feeling and when something like this happens it makes the reader feel sad because the death was preventable but anyways he died.
