Something is Wrong With This Picture

Billy doesn’t have any reason to live, he just wants to give up and stay. Weary on the other hand had other plans, being the hero and part of the three Musketeers with the two scouts. When the two scouts reject and abandon Weary and Billy. This brings up childhood memories for Weary, with people ditching him in the past. He blamed Billy for the scouts’ departure and started beating him up when “Five German soldiers and a police dog on a leash were looking down into the bed of the creek. The soldiers' blue eyes were filled with bleary civilian curiosity as to why one American would try to murder another one so far from home, and why the victim should laugh.” (Pg 18-19 PDF SH.5) I just can’t seem to imagine the faces of these soldiers and the thoughts because obviously it makes no sense from their point of view. The image these soldiers must get from these two is just crazy, one colleague beating on another and the other one just full of laughter. There is definitely something wrong with that picture in anybody eyes especially to one that has just got there to witness it.
