Explanation
(1) The main clause 'I aspire to be courageous like him' can stand alone as a complete sentence. The subordinate clause 'when I join the army' depends on the main clause and is connected by the subordinating conjunction 'when'. (2) The main clause expresses the complete action. The subordinate clause starting with 'because' gives the reason and is connected by the subordinating conjunction 'because'. (3) The subordinate clause 'Though seriously wounded in this encounter' shows contrast and cannot stand alone. The main clause 'he continued to fight alongside his comrades' is complete in itself. (4) The main clause states a complete idea. The subordinate clause starting with 'so that' expresses purpose and is connected by the subordinating conjunction 'so that'.
