Explanation:
Gene, the narrator had a rethink in his initial viewpoints of war when he heard from Leper. However, when Finny echoed his views that<em> "war is fictional and unrealistic." </em><u>saw his statement as a joke.</u>
After reflecting on what Leper said, Gene responded,
"<em>In the silences between jokes about Leper’s glories we wondered whether we ourselves would measure up to the humblest minimum standard of the army...., I wondered...whether the still hidden parts of myself might contain the Sad Sack, the outcast, or the coward." </em>

<em>"What a joke if Finny was right after all! But of course I didn’t believe him... So of course I didn’t believe him... I came away thinking that if Finny’s opinion of the war was unreal, l, Mr. Carhart’s was at least as unreal."</em>
