The search for Kiowa. Everyone is blaming himself. Kiowa was one of there good friends and now he is gone. He is now the 3rd member to die. And to make it worse, they can't even find his body. And to make it even MORE worse, he is buried underneath discusting stuff. They walk back in forth through the fields trying to find their friend. I can't believe that Azar starts cracking jokes. If i was one of the other guys, I would have punched him in the face. It suprises me that they all aren't a little more emotional. Oh yea I forgot, that would be shameful and embarassing.
I don't really understand the part about the boy and the picture. Where did he come from? And why can't his lieutenant name him? He desperately searches for the picture of his girlfriend and from reading his emotion you can tell he won't stop until he finds it.
When the rest of the soldiers find Kiowa's body, it is a long slow process to dig him out. The attitudes of the men are astounding. After they dig him up a piece of his shoulder is missing and his arms, chest, and fast were cut with shrapnel. And what do they say? "Well," Henry Dobbins said, "it could be worse." That line was extremely shocking to me. Being buried alive under a field of human waste seems as bad as it can get.

I could also argue that that quote deals with the mood of the passage.
again, how does that quote contribute to mood?
