Answer:
The conflicted thoughts of the narrators.
Explanation:
Both of these poems deal with the realities of war, and with the trauma of pain that it leaves on those that have been involved in this ugly affair. In "Ambush," the author recalls how he made a choice during the war that he came to regret for the rest of his life. In "Facing It," the author recalls seeing a war memorial, and the memories this brought back. In both cases, the thoughts of the men are fragmented and conflicted, which allows the authors to develop tension.
