Both selections share the same point of view; they both felt the war was a cruel act. The war made soldiers to kill people for no reason.

In the poem "The Man He Killed" by Thomas Hardy, the speaker felt sad and remorseful after he killed his enemy. Based on the information in first stanza "We should have sat us down to wet, Right many a nipperkin!" and the last stanza "You'd treat if wet where any bar is, or help to half-a-crown." Shows that the speaker and his enemy could have made friends with in other situations. The speaker conveys his feelings about war by suing images "And staring face to face, I shot at him as he at me." The speaker shows his feeling of lost and despair by using the technique of repetition "Because he was my foe, Just so: my foe, of course, he was."

In the story "The History of a Campaign That Failed" by Mark Twain, the author thought he was a murder after the shooting. The narrator found he was unable to stop thinking about the shooting based on the information in the story "The thought of him got to preying upon me every night. I could not get rid of it. I could not drive it away." The speaker felt disillusioned about the war "my campaign was spoiled." The speaker in the story thought he could be friends with the man he killed " Stranger whom, in other circumstances, you would help if you found them in trouble, and who would help you if you needed it." In the end, the author felt less guilty because he discovered that five other shots had been fired.

In conclusion, both speakers did not felt happy about killing an innocent people or their enemy. Both speakers felt sad and guilt about killing a person. I think everybody would fee the same.
