Joe Small says, "We're supposed to be fighting the same enemy... I don't know who my enemy really is.” What does he mean by this?

Joe is referring to the fact that as soldiers dedicated to fighting for the same cause.... they should be fighting the enemy, not fighting amongst themselves. He couldn't decide which enemy was worse... the enemy across the sea.... ot the racist members of his own country.
