The passage above is saying that if there is another war, Holden wants to fight in it. The context it is in is Holden talking about how his brother, D.B. fought in the war. He hates war so it doesn't make sense for him to say that unless you analyze it. Holden also says that they now have the atomic bomb. After he says that they have that, he says the above passage. I think that he would want to go because he doesn't want to live anymore. He is sick of life, the world, and all the phoniness. I feel like he sees that as a way out. A way to escape. I think that is a huge theme in this book because he just doesn't want live anymore. We here it in every other sentence.
