Explanation:
I think the narrator believes that the men he is talking about lacked vision to anticipate future problems and courageously deal with the consequences ie they did not actively or proactively deal with life but on the contrary allowed themselves to be victims of circumstance. Re the word "I" I think he means that they did not realize the power they had to change the course of events.

Hello. You did not ask the question to which this text refers, which makes it impossible for you to receive an answer. However, I will try to help you by explaining what this text is talking about and I hope this is useful for you to answer your question.
This text is an excerpt from "All Quiet on the Western Front" written by Erich Maria Remarque. In this story we are introduced to Paul Baumer, a German soldier in the first world war. The book presents all the terrors and destruction that a war is capable of causing and in the excerpt presented in the question above, we can see Paul showing the conditions of the wounded and dead soldiers in the war hospital, a scene that impacts him a lot and makes him very thoughtful about what the war is causing and what will be the future of all who are there. That's because he entered the army with a very patriotic thought, but he realized that war has nothing to do with patriotism, but with death, pain and suffering.
In his speech <em>What To the Slave Is the Fourth of July?</em>, Douglass argues that the state of Virginia has passed laws that punish slaves if they commit crime. He believes that the fact that these laws exist implies that the government believes slaves to be logical, moral, thinking humans that hold personal responsibility. Moreover, laws are passed against teaching them to read and write. These laws imply that slaves can be taught things, and that they have the capacity to learn. This establishes the "manhood" of slaves.
As the law of the United States has already established that all men have the right to own their own body and to freedom, and black people are, as proven, fully human, then it must be illegal to own them.
