Like His Son
It was at that moment when the officer told William that he had a son who also served there recently. He said, “Well alright. My son went to Iraq”. This was the real reason the cop pulled over William in the first place.

All the police officer wanted was to learn more about someone who experienced the same things his son did during his service. He later told William more about the time his son spent in Iraq. It made William see things rather differently.
