12. How did Rat Kiley get out of active duty? What is the author's purpose in including this story so late in the novel and right after the Ghost Soldiers?
A: Rat Kiley got out of active duty by shooting himself in the foot because he could not handle Vietnam anymore. This chapter shows how some of the soldiers acted up on cowardice and would rather take their own life instead of living the kill or be killed life of war.
