Paul Baumer

I am Paul Baumer. I am no war hero, I am just an ordinary guy who likes to drink beer and think about girls. While occasionally writing plays on the side; known as Saul.  Over my time of being a soldier, I have transitioned into a great judge of character and “a force for gentle kindness in a world engulfed by brutality.” I was a family man before, but after many terrifying experiences in the war, I feel like I don’t belong anywhere else but the war. I have lost all feelings. After killing Gerard Duval, I realized that the people we are fighting are the same as us. I felt guilty for killing him although it was my duty and I will have to live with it for the rest of my life.
