I may have read more into the circumstancen than was warrented. It was my ippression that the telegram delivery was a common way of recieving such news but now that you mention it during vietnam I think such news was delivered in person for the most part. It was the time period and the age of the son and the fact that he was clearly away from home that made me think it was Vietnam. There was also something about that whole thing that felt like it was not such a total surprise. There was no sense of "what happened?" from the neighbors.

There was as a "matter of form" feeling about the neighbors and the news of the death. Hmmm...

Perhaps Malick leaves the cause of death vague because its details here would be needless; death is part of nature we equally share.

The image of the middle son as a soldier fits the idea of him trying to match the "nature" of his father, while the older son feels a need to transcend.
