“How do you return to the real world when only the other soldiers can understand how much you have changed” (Swofford 12)? This is what almost every soldier feels when they return from war. People question them about what happened while they were there and ask them how many people did they kill while they were at war. For them, home simply doesn't feel like them anymore. When soldiers return home, all they want to do is forget everything they did until they are ready to talk about it. Diaz states, “we didn’t talk much about the likelihood of his return to war” (16). . This shows that when soldiers return from where they were stationed, they just want to visit the people they haven't seen in a while. They don't want to talk about everything that happened during the war. If soldiers talk about anything to do with war, it's usually about people coming to give them food or someone coming to talk to them while they're at war. They don't want to have to think about the difficult times they experienced during their sentence. While at home, soldiers may also have difficulty completing daily tasks, such as sleeping. “The soldier will sleep restlessly” (Swofford 12). “After a year or more of sleeping on the desert floor or in a cot, a mattress will be dangerously comfortable” (Swofford 12). Soldiers aren't used to sleeping on something soft and comfortable, so when they have something like that, it's very difficult for them to function. What would it be like to be away from a comfortable mattress for over a year, to be forced to lie in the desert or on a cot, and then suddenly be relaxed on something very comfortable? In "Soldiers Home" and in a "Corner of Hell a Moment of Beauty", they talk about how all soldiers look exactly the same. If people look at a photo taken by a soldier during a war, it is very difficult to distinguish one person from another. No one really has their own physical appearance. Diaz says: “With their military haircuts and desert khakis, they all looked like me." (16).
