I think it's rather unreasonable and unrealistic when other characters... multiple ones... all had the same response and assessment of a character, to claim that they all just "didn't get" him. And, if there's one thing that Moore makes V-E-R-Y obvious in the book was that there was almost nothing the Comedian DIDN'T "get". He was the one who saw and understood... pretty much everything.
There is absolutely NOTHING in the book that implies that these people didn't understand Jon. There's also nothing Jon's words or actions that imply anything different than what they stated either. It's pretty obvious after The Comedian gives his assessment of Jon, and the way Jon stands over the body of the dead pregnant Vietnamese girl, that he'd hit the nail on the head, and Jon knew it.
Jon himself says that Laurie was the last single thread holding him to Earth and when that thread was broken he left.
To be frank, I really don't think you've seen anything others didn't see, but rather spin things to what you wanted to see in spite of glaring evidence to the contrary. In fact, I think you developed a rather huge blind spot.
Anyway, don't think because I disagree strongly that I don't think you're smart and a cool person to talk to and am glad to have you on my friend's list.
