I THINK THAT WAR MAKES YOU STRONGER AND IN THE FILM IT SHOWS YOU THAT BC ITS HARD SEEING SOME ONE DIE AND THEY HAD TO SEE THAT EVERY DAY AND THAT TAKES GUTS WATCHING THAT STUFF HAPPEN. THE MOVIE I THOUGHT WAS GOOD EXCEPT THERE WERE SOME PARTS THAT WERE TOTALLY FAKE BUT THE REST WAS REALLY GOOD.
shareWar never makes anybody stronger. It manipulates humans into internally torn shells of their former selfs. Putting up a tough front and appearing strong is a coping mechanism for masking the terrible pain a soldier has to live with day in and day out for the rest of his life. That pain is knowing how many of the enemy you personally killed, the faces of the men you killed, the lifeless faces of your fellow soldiers who have fallen. To watch people senselessly dieing and being blown to pieces around you day in and day out wondering when your luck will end will never make you stronger. Soldiers are tough because they must be to stay alive, soldiers appear fearless because they must to stay alive. These are not strengths, they are ways of masking and suppressing weakness- weakness that all human beings should have. War is a terrible thing, nothing good ever came out of it. Ever.

salzano951 - GREAT post! Well said and It sounds as if you speak from experience, though I hope not. World War 1 could have been totally avoided with little political pain. THAT is the real crime. War is senseless and the troops that fight them never return the same. I hope, someday, in the not too distant future, a new generation will read about these things in history books and say, "how could anybody allow that to happen?"
