What does Joe want? Why does he want it? Why is it against regulations?

Joe wants out. he wants out of the hospital and out of this isolation. he wants connection with people - he wants to affect people with what happened to him and his state. he is tired of living this life, more so living a life that is more compatible to death, where he is complete alone. he wants to travel, to influence and show people the effects of war. he wants to be taken in a glass box to show people. he uses morse code to tell the nurses this. he wants to be an exibit to show how cruel war is, the horrors of war. but the regulations of the hospital are that they dont want people to see the horrors of war - if they did, people wont fight and support their country - they wont join the army. people will see the future - what will happen to them, to people all over the world. and they will be scared of their government, of their country, of fighting for their country. the hospital wants to keep joe a secret because of the tragicness of his life. it is awful. these regulations keep joe from being truly connected to people - to influence people. he is forced to continue to live a life in isolation, in the stream of his thoughts, memories, yet personal growth and understanding.
