Walter's fantasies revolve around battles, plane assaults, and the brave attempts made by doctors to save as many lives as possible. Soldiers were viewed as heroic, and in Mitty's secret life, he is no longer badgered by his wife, but rather a strong, heroic, and courageous man, who stands tall in the face of adverisity.
