Ultimately everyone in the book had something that digs at them, no matter how hard they tried. Dave Jenson carried guilt and paranoia that was so pervasive that it became a "sickness that cleverly attaches and multiplies" to the point that he believed he needed to break his own nose with a pistol in order to right the wrong of injuring Strunk over the jackknife. This individual act of insanity was surprisingly typical considering the type of war being fought.
We all have a sickness
That cleverly attaches and multiplies
No matter how we try.
We all have someone that digs at us.
At least we dig each other.
So when sickness turns my ego up
I know you'll act as a clever medicine.
