realizations aren't quite so grand as you planned
Joe realizes at the end of the novel that democracy is not worth fighting for because democracy is not a concrete idea and democracy is what is making him fight. He hates that they are makign him fight. He is fighting and fighting for something that he doesnt believe in and when he realizes this he turns the gun that they gave him to fight on them. He turns the gun on the people who are making him fight. These people aren't even fighting for themselves, they are making people fight for them. THis is why Joe turns the gun on them.

Hey J Krieb,
I totally agree with you and the information you have presented in your blog. Joe realizes that they (the soldiers) are all being told they are fighting for democracy, but in reality, they are not. They are just killing each other, not even attempting to make peace. Joe is turning the gun on the people that are willing to have the war, but are not even fighting in it. That is quite annoying how that happens like that.
But good blog!
