Answer 2

The Answer is:

So when old guy says he has no politics, he means as he did not endorse any side in the conflict. Nothing about this war interested him.

In order to explain to a soldier and he's too elderly to engage in politics and would instead be focusing on taking proper care of the animals, he additionally stated his age before him.

• The soldier who encounters the elderly guy at the footbridge when civilians are crossing to escape the "Spanish Civil War" serves as the story's narrator.
• As just a scout, the soldier's job would be to cross the river and determine how much the opposition has progressed. He starts a chat with the elderly man.
• He learns from the old man's talk and he's more concerned about the security of his animals, which he has left in his hometown, except his own safety. But from the other side, the storyteller is afraid about the old man's security.
• The old guy is advised to board a truck and travel to Barcelona to rescue himself, yet he resists.
• There is little to be done about the elderly guy, the speaker laments, feeling sorrow towards him as well as sadness over his inevitable demise.
• He laments the old person's approaching demise.
• The author's despondency as well as the elderly man's fatalistic outlook are subtly reflected in their dialogue.
