Still civilized

I really like the chapter 'Church". When men go to war, many visualize them becoming savages and just becoming killing machines. In some cases this may be true. However, I like how this chapter represents how then men do not become like this. While the men are camped in a church with two monks, they treat the monks as human beings and not as just animals who live in Vietnam. " 'You're right,' he said. 'All you can do is be nice. Treat them decent, you know?' " While being in Vietnam for such a long time, they still know how to be civilized human beings and not just animals.
