What does 2 Samuel 11:11 mean?

Uriah answered, 'The Ark and the armies of Israel and Judah are camping out in tents, and my commander Joab and your other officers are sleeping in the open fields. How could I go home, eat and drink, and sleep with my wife? I just couldn’t do that while everyone else is out there.' 2 Samuel 11:11 - Modern Text Bible

(Uriah explains his sense of honor and solidarity with his fellow soldiers, refusing to enjoy comforts while they’re at war.)
