Finny's theory about the war is that it is fake.
I think it's on page 158, when Finny says, "Sure there isn't any war." It seemed to have a sarcastic tone with the way the author describes his gestures while responding to Gene in this way. I could be wrong though.

Finny's theory about the war is that it is fake.
Finny pretends there's no war in "A Separate Peace" because he wants to shield himself from the reality and horror of the conflict. This denial allows him to maintain his carefree and idealistic outlook on life, helping him to avoid confronting the harsh truth of the world outside. Additionally, Finny's denial serves as a coping mechanism to preserve his innocence and preserve his sense of peace in a turbulent time.
Finny understands the joke about the war because he often uses humor as a defense mechanism to cope with the reality of the war. By making light of the situation, he is able to distance himself from the horrors of war and maintain a sense of control and positivity in his life. Additionally, Finny's carefree and optimistic nature allows him to find humor even in the darkest of circumstances.

Phineas, also known as Finny, dies in A Separate Peace in November. The novel takes place during the early years of World War II, with Finny's death occurring due to complications from a fall from a tree.
Finny says he has a new understanding of the war because he realizes that the war has affected him personally, through his injury that prevents him from participating actively in the conflict. This experience helps him empathize with the suffering of others and see the war from a different perspective.
Finny says they have to jump out of the tree for the war and because the upper class men, the seventeen-year-old boys, had already done it.
Pearl Harbor
He thinks it is about a bunch of old men just trying to scare the kids.
Finny gives up his theory about there being no war because he cannot deny the reality of the war anymore. When he witnesses the injuries and hardships faced by Gene and other boys at Devon, he is forced to confront the truth and cannot continue living in denial. Finny's realization is a crucial turning point as it leads him to accept the harsh reality of the world outside.
Finny wears a pink tie for a belt because he likes to be unique and stand out from the crowd. It is a reflection of his nonconformist personality and his desire to challenge traditional norms. This choice also symbolizes his carefree and unconventional approach to life.
