Sarcasm
The first sentence is complete sarcasm. The word blessing is enough to give you a huge hint. A writer like Vonnegut would never think that war is a blessing under any circumstances, but that is drawing from his other writings.
The yellow sentence is just a detail that backs up the first comment.
The comment beginning with the wine colored sentence is somewhat sarcastic as well, but the first one is much better. The first one records a state of mind. The wine colored sentence finishes off the idea of just how long short lived could be. As with everything in English don't be surprised if the wine colored sentence is correct.
The second paragraph is plot details. Those details are not sarcastic at all.
