In this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," which sentence shows the low self-esteem of the soldiers and their

belief that being a soldier has nothing to do with bravery?
The three with the medals were like hunting-hawks; and I was not a hawk, although I might seem a hawk to those who had never hunted; they, the three, knew better and so we drifted apart. But I stayed good friends with the boy who had been wounded his first day at the front, because he would never know now how he would have turned out; so he could never be accepted either, and I liked him because I thought perhaps he would not have turned out to be a hawk either.
