post 08 about the setting in Hemingway's story

Krebs left college to enlist and go to war for his country in 1917. He came back to the United States after after the group before him came back. He returned in 1919. He eventually returned to Oklahoma years after the war was over. No one knew why he decided to come back so late after the war. The social norm back then was he had to lie in order for his friends to believe him. Thats Basicly a double standard. It eventually caught up with him because he began to have flashbacks of what really happened.
