You have no idea what it's like for someone to care for you and not just your general well-being. [He sighs wearily.]
Do you know what 'love' is? 'Affection'? [He writes down the second word since it starts with an 'A'.] It's similar to 'like' and it is the opposite of 'hate'.
Often times in military units, you only get basic concern for your well-being because you are needed for a specific purpose. In families, you are loved unconditionally just for being. There's a difference, Frank.
[He rubs his head feeling at a loss of ways to explain this concept to him. It's beginning to become difficult since the poor kid's frame of reference is so narrow.]
