Soldier's Home

One juxtaposition that is seem very frequently in Soldier's Home is war.  Krebs doesn't want to put the work in that he needs to get a woman.  He thinks that he no longer needs a woman.  Like Areesha said today, this reminds me of Seymour from Nine Stories, who lost touch with the world around him after coming back from the war. Krebs seems to be more subtle, not really getting himself to involved in anything.  Because of the war, it seems Krebs, much like Seymour, loses interest with the world around him.
