In Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried," Kiowa tries to justify O'Brien's action of killing a man by suggesting that in war, one must make impossible choices and that survival often requires moral compromises. He understands the psychological burden that comes with such decisions, recognizing that they are often driven by fear and the instinct to protect oneself and one’s comrades. Kiowa emphasizes the complexity of war, where the lines between right and wrong are blurred, making it difficult to judge actions taken in extreme circumstances.

How do you say I love you in kiowa?

Well I know this IS NOT the proper spelling but it sounds something like this- Aim go-doe bee-el-doe I am not a linguist so it's difficult to convey subtle differences in speed and inflection which can change the meaning of a word or phrase. The Kiowa language is not like English so it can be difficult to teach through writing alone. But what I wrote above I feel pretty safe about hehe. If you want to know more about the Kiowa language try getting in touch with the Kiowa Complex in Oklahoma. Hope this helped at least a little. = )

Does a persons past experience justify any current behavior?

It is the sum of experience that determines the outcome of the decision-making process. This is a way of saying that a person's behavior can be explained. However, explaining does not justify. Let me try it this way: no one is ever responsible for what is done to them, but they are responsible for what they do with it.
