Chapter 18
Page 141 Paragraph 1
Quote:
"Anyway, I'm sort of glad they've got the atomic bomb invented. If there's ever another war, I'm going to sit right the hell on top of it. I'll volunteer for it, I swear to God I will."

Holden says things, that he probably shouldn't say and will regret saying if people actually thought that he was telling the truth. Holden is a coward really because he's all talk and no action. Holden says he'll do something, but end up not doing it, and running away and hiding. It is just like him not going home after he got kicked out of Pency Prep. If he really was bold and proud, he would have gone home and told his parents exactly what happened.
