Truman Capote's Analytical Paragraph

In this quotation war is said to be a fight between the higher and lower ranks. In the beginning of this quotation it says, “Imbued from Infancy” to be imbued from infancy means that we are all created the same. From the beginning until the end we are all the same, But then it says “the fascinating fallacy,” the amusing belief of which we are not created the same. By having the belief of being better there is some egotistical feeling’s that the higher ranking officers create in their mind. Then in the quotation it again says “all men are created equal,” stating that every one is the same even when there is belief that the officers are better. At the end of the quotation it says, “the indiscretion of striking his officer” the imprudence of hitting a higher ranking officer. This was a big offence against the bigger man or his officer.
