Seamus is going places, but nowhere fast or far. I love this line.
THE WAR is over, but no one allows it to rest. It is the accepted justification for all abnormalities and wrongs, a two-word explanation to stopper all questioning and conversation. Just blame THE WAR, Seamus thinks, and you may get away with murder.
He’s tired of it, the inexcusable excuse that’s fallen into fashion. THE WAR is at fault for many things—for bringing him to this point in his existence, for breaking him down into something unrecognizable—but he wishes everyone would stop talking about it, and using it. It’s a safety net now, there to catch those who cannot—will not—try and change. Very, very powerful. I love the "no excuses" feel.
