Eventually when he had last chance to make his decision if he should have ‘escaped’ from the military or not, he asked that beautiful girl if she would like to be together with him. If she would, he was willing to go everywhere together with her. But the fact was so cruel, she was shocked by his proposal. She thought he should go back to Iraq and fight for honor. She was willing to wait for him. She would pray for him. Her answer was so crucial to Billy. At that moment, Billy realized that she totally couldn’t understand what he wanted deep inside in his heart. He wasn’t a hero and he longed for a normal life. He wanted to enjoy romances instead of killing the enemies. He wanted to stay with his family instead of facing the war. The war was so cruel and ice-cold, you had to face life and death everyday. The girl’s response got Billy back to the reality. He was a soldier and  a hero, he wasn’t a normal person. The one that girl loved was the hero, not him, not a normal person. Actually he didn’t have a choice for his life. The only thing he could do  was go back to Iraq to fight for honor. So he finally rejected her sister’s advice. He decided to go back to his team. That was the only place he belonged to. That was his destiny. Such a  long halftime walk! The walk was in Billy’s mind.
