He has been alienated because they think he doesn't fit in. When the give, gives him memories he can know the truth of things and try to tell his friends to stop the things they do (play war).
The war game reminds jonas of his war memories which are painfull for him to bring up and are mainly emotionaly harsh on him
Jonas knows because he has received memories of war from the Giver and realizes that war means death, and that death means horrible pain for the one dying. It means loneliness, sadness, and grief for those still living. Because of this, Jonas gets very upset when he finds the other children "playing at war"
Because they were playing 'war', and had no idea what they were really doing. Jonas' friends had no concept of death, or dying, or pain, and Jonas did, via his memories from The Giver. Therefore, it pained Jonas to see his friends pretending to kill each other, when he had such a real concept of death.
Jonas got upset because he had experienced the memories of war through the Giver and understood the true horrors and pain associated with it. He was shocked that his friends would play a game that glorified something so terrible and destructive. Jonas wanted them to understand the gravity of their actions and the consequences of war.
Jonas reacted very angrily and sadly to the children's war game. He felt this way because the memories of love and war changed his emotion so drastically that he asked them to stop playing the game and to never play that game again.
He starts being alot more serious. For example Jonas used to play war but then he told his friends to stop.

Jonas' first startling and disturbing memory is experiencing war and seeing injured and dying soldiers. His reaction is one of shock and disbelief, as he has never been exposed to such violence and pain before. This memory begins to open his eyes to the harsh realities of the world outside of his community.
Lowry had placed this because he really wanted the reader to understand what Jonas really saw in the memory of the war and to get the reader to realize that Jonis can have a memory show up when he sees a relevant idea to the memory (like the kids playing war) Hope this helps:)
Always put your 100% in the game, don't worry whose is playing. In game and war friendship is ignored.
because he was being harassed
Jonas reacted in a very dramatic way because he knew that war was not something to play about.
