Tim O'Brien's "The Man I Killed"

Tim O'Brien's story about the man he killed was intense.  He seemed to be sympathetic to the man he killed because when Kiowa, one of his friends, started talking to O'Brien about the victim and started using cereal references, O'Brien, seemed annoyed and upset. Kiowa seemed to fine with the thought of killing another. Which is understandable because of the area they where in. It was kill or be killed. 

O'Brien repeats himself a lot in this story. I think he does that so he can fully grasp what has happened to him and to the man he has killed. Kiowa tries to put the whole situation into perspective for O'Brien, but at some points it seems that Tim O'Brien would rather have Kiowa say nothing at all. 

Finally, O'Brien seems to be alright after some time. I think that it is terrifying to kill another man but I'm sure that if he was pointing a gun at you it would be easier. Although, I still feel that no matter what, after you kill someone it takes a lot out of you and it is something that you will remember for the rest of your life.
