Why does the author, Walter Dean Myers capitalize the word "World"?

Chapter 13,

I have been trying to figure out why he would capitalize the word "World" but nothing I come up seems to feel correct. First question that has stumped me. Suggestions of a different perspective would be appriciated.

This is speculation but it could be that the war becomes a microcosm of the only world these soldiers know. Their "world" becomes a metaphor for violence and lost innocence. The world becomes a specific place both physically and mentally, hence the capital letter.
