Hemingway's short sentences in this excerpt, like "Defeat is worse." and "They come after you. They take your home. They take your sisters.", convey deep ideas about war and its consequences. Each short sentence packs a significant meaning about the horrors of war and its impact (e.g., loss of home, violation of family - taking sisters). They are not simple in meaning despite their brevity.
