Reason for participating

In my opinion the reason why he participating in the war because most on the people went to Glebe. They are all those kind that it supposed to have like the religion thing. Maybe he wanted to show that he loves the country and showing his respect and love. And his father was in the war too so I guess he wanted to follow his father steps. ------------------------------>

Another reason is that he join the war because his age is very young and I think at his age he needs money like for example he might wants a girlfriend, buying clothes, buying food etc... all the kind he needs, I think he doesn't like school because he was only at high school for 2 years. And maybe he join the war because he like danger stuff because the sport he played is very danger such as Rugby.
