This all depends on where in the book you are taking about. Henry's feelings about war undergoes profound changes as the story goes on. Initially Henry is tired of the "hurry up and wait" mentality of the generals. Later Paul struggles with "B" and, of course, "E" becomes prominent when he runs away in his first big battle.
