Absolutely...Travis hates himself. Travis hates the corruption in the world, but he also hates the corruption in himself, he sees no way around it & he allows himself to wallow in it until he snaps. His time in the war has reduced him to an empty shell. But as soon as some light comes into his life, we're to believe that a war veteran cannot muster the willpower to realize that Betsy is not going to go for the movie house date in the porno theater? It's a flaw in an otherwise magnificently poignant and significant American film.
