The question I'm asking is that did O’Brien kill the man at My Khe? Some references he made told me he did and some tell me he didn't. Not exactly sure if he did kill him because obviously I wasn't there; but he can describe the exact scene, what he was doing, and what the guy looked like when he died. That gives me the impression that this death psychology messed with O’Brien. Maybe it mentally messed him up as well or made him feel this guilt inside because of this mans death. Back in the chapter The Man I Killed O’Brien said he killed the guy; he knew every exact detail and he could explain everything that happened just like that. In the following chapter he goes over how the guy died which makes me believe he did kill him. O’Brien states “He fell on his back. His rubber sandals had been blown off. He lay at the center of the trail, his right leg bent beneath him, his one eye shut, his other eye a huge star-shaped hole.”(O’Brien, 127). O’Brien knowing what the soldier looked like, the way his eyes were open, the form and shape of his body; just tells me that even if he didn’t kill this man it still put this image in his head that he did. Later he explains the way he threw the grenade and the explosion; how it went down in his eyes. Knowing that he said he threw the grenade; that he pulled the pin, left no doubt in my mind that he didn't kill the Vietnamese soldier. Even after all the imagery that O’Brien put in my head; that made me think that he really killed the guy but later in the book he comes out and tells us he never killed anyone during the war. In the chapter Good Form; O’Brien stats “For instance, I want to tell you this; twenty years ago I watched a man die on a trail near the village of My Khe. I did not kill him. But I was present, you see, and my presence was guilt enough,” (O’Brien, 171). So O’Brien admits that he didn’t kill the guy. But he also admits that since he was there it l
