He seems to believe in the mentality that a person’s history, life story, and family play no role in war, and the simple main ideology he beholds is the “kill or be killed” point of view. On the other hand, O’brien’s friend Kiowa tells Azar to “go away” and then proceeds to try and convince O’brien that it’s not really a big deal and that his death was justified.
