JOHNNY POINT YOUR GUN
At the end of the novel, Joe realizes that the reason the doctors have sedated him with the dope is because they don't want to help him. They don't care if they can communicate with him or that he's truly amazing because they are more concerned with their wars. They believe if Joe is allowed to make contact in the world with other people, then they would know the true horrors of war. His testimony would touch others and make them question their curiosity of why this man is this way, and is this really the conscience of war. Of course they government and all the promoters and drafters of war wouldn't like that, and they would begin to refuse to go to war. And of course you need a lot of men to go to war. I think that at the end of the novel Joe also points out that the human race is a peaceful race and they want to live. But they will take up arms and "point the gun" if they have to. But it won't be for a silly war that all the promoters and drafters had made them be involved in before, but a war against those who are doing the promoting and drafting. They will do this because they want to maintain life and peace and they will go to any cost because they will always fight for life.
