"All that peace man, it felt so good it hurt. I want to hurt it back" I think this says that peace during war only comes is short bursts and that when peace comes it is bittersweet for it reminds soldiers of home and not fighting they feel as if it is there mocking them that they are at war. Peace at war seems fake this is why O'Brien says he wants to hurt is back. This says that the war involved peace but it seemed far away because the soldier's homes were far away. It made their fighting efforts seem worthless, it made it seem as if they were expendables and that they themselves were worthless, as if they would all die in vain—for nothing.
