An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge

I liked the story, because I found it interesting. I can understand the leader actor’s aspect. Why did he want to blow up the bridge? He was a real southern guy with traditions; he had fears about the junkies. If they were to get to his territory, maybe, they would kill all his family and they would even take his area too. Ok it was not a good idea to try to blow up the bridge alone. But sometimes one man wins the war, maybe he thought that. I think he did not want to be a hero, he just tried to protect what belonged to him.
