My comment:
The author is stating that he (or she!) is doing everything in her power to wrap her head around why the person would do this so she could forgive him. Her first point is to start the contrast of him being on orders and then referring to him as a "machine to guerre". Maybe she was contrasting a man needing to be absolved...or maybe he was just a cog in the war machine.
