If you say that Malik was trying yo point out the stupidity of war I'm with you there. War is not a heroic enterprise, the only heroism is in saving another person's life.This is what the protagonist[narrator] of the story does when he leads the japanese away from his comrades-in-arms and in doing so is killed. You can say his death is tragic, but it isn't pointless if it allows others to live. I think Malik is saying that in the end this is the only heroism in war.
The scene of the protagonist swimming with the children is a beautiful one. It shows that nature is oblivious of the petty struggles of man. The landscape is just as beautiful whether it is a time of peace or a time of war.
