In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."

"They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."
This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail. The author notices that they don't remember and it could potentially be that they wanted not to remember. Unconsciously they blocked the horrible things they had done and seen.
