MacDonald has very similar arguments in his various Travis McGee novels as well. It is clear the war, serving in Burma with the OSS, changed MacDonald on a fundamental level. He wasn't going to be happy living either the corporate or bureaucratic government post-war life like many military officers of his generation.
Yeah, the OSS war in that part of the world is fascinating. Not a lot of action but many men died due to plane clashes and exposure (if you survive your crash over the mountains of Nepal, ain’t no one coming to save you).

Had no idea he was with the OSS in Burma. All those guys were doing cool ass shit.
