Answer:

C.  Capt. Kudo did not think much about killing the two innocent civilians while in Afghanistan, but later he could not stop thinking about it.

Explanation:

Marine Captain TImothy Kudo is a war veteran that served three tours in Iraq (2009), Afghanistan (2010, 2011).

He was recounting the moral injuries soldiers face in the battlefield. He was talking about a particular experience in Afghanistan.

There were men on motorcycles coming from the hill towards him and his team. The marines were not sure if they were hostiles or civilians. They tried to warn them off by shooting smoke grenades to the sides but these men wouldn't stop and suddenly, there was a flash of light that seemed like guns and his men opened ire, killing the two men instantly,

When they went for a closer look, they discovered they were civilians with sticks in bundles and the light they saw was from their motorcycle.

Capt Kudo didn't think much of the killings because everyday in Afghanistan was a new war and he couldn't show doubt lest his men get doubts of their own and the mission falls apart.

He pushed the incident down in his subconscious, but later, he could not stop thinking about it.

The statement that most adequately describes Capt. Timothy's response to the encounter with the men riding motorcycles would be:

C)..  Capt. Kudo did not think much about killing the two innocent civilians while in Afghanistan, but later he could not stop thinking about it.

  • The above statement correctly recounts that Captain Kudo didn't give serious thought to murdering two modest citizens but when he reached Afghanistan, the opposite happened and he was unable to stop himself to think about it.
  • In the context of the text, Timothy had been a steady warhorse who was part of various battles in Afghanistan, as well as, in Iraq.
  • In reference to a particular such event in Afghanistan where two innocent civilians riding bikes were killed without being checked if they were militants or not.
  • However such encounters didn't use to affect Timothy much usually but this time he was unable to forget this experience bot even thinking about this as he deeply thinks about the emotional and upstanding wounds given to the innocent soldiers who were present there.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
