[In pieces, he can understand. Beyond having lost his own father figure to the enemy... he remembers how restless he was after the fall of Ba Sing Se. How he felt like he had let everyone down, was thought to be dead, even, and he was desperate to regain his honor. To try to re-earn the hope in the world that his defeat had cost.
He hadn't been taken into another world, but he struggled with having to sit still while war was going on out there. While people were dying.

I don't want to insult you or your family. And what you all have fought for. I know there isn't an easy way through this, or even a permanent way. I just want to make sure you know. That while we're here, the only place that war is is within you. You can try to let some of that out, and keep it from tearing you apart. [He remembers Katara, on a quest of revenge, and ultimately choosing to just let it all out.] But... it's all your decision. And I won't bother you about this anymore.
