The First World War wasn't a religious war, but faith was a valuable buttress for the soldiers. Those in this film seek solace in religion, each in his own way.

It's human nature, what happens when a man is free? He seeks out that which will make him most happiest in life, wealth.

If your country can do better then try, you will fail, no one can rule a pridefull earth full of people like you that don't believe that love can't be real becuase you've never really had any. Go find your purfect little planet, you will be looking for something that you will never find.

Framing this piece around religion feels a little out of place - it doesn't seem to fit with the recited letters, which, at heart, are really about loneliness, confusion, and despair. When they do mention God, it's much more as a turn of phrase - "thank God," etc. I get the impression that the soldiers are not really expressing deep religious conviction as much as they are using superficially religious language to grapple with the horrors of war.

I am always confused by people who have never "shared" in war and blood, or hate and love, judging us or our motives.

You really think that the war is a glorifying thing? Love for their country? That's making me laugh. That "love" it's just a name criated to welch some minds and send they to the ignorance of war, war for territory, war for oil, war for money, money and ignorance that Americans called "American Dream". Your Dream is a lie, the biggest lie ever told.

Sorry to be so blunt but whether the men were patriotic or not and whether when they initially became soldiers because of the love of their country or because of poverty they were ordered into the trenches and had no choice but to kill or be killed. If they decided to stop they were shot as cowards. Those who decreed that punishment were their own presidents and prime ministers "who are supposed to protect all their citizens". I guarantee that not many "if" any of them were ever in the trenches.

I never said they didn't do it for their country. Do u really believe that the ones who're now in Irak are fighting to defend a fair cause? They believe in what they do, indeed. But this soldier could've studied for the "future of civilization, for us". Instead, he was fighting to defend mirages and fallacies. Do you call destroying the towers "defending"? Al Qaeda is nothing but another mirage. Bush needed an excuse to stole arabic's oil. There you go. Thousands of YOUNG peolple assasinated.

Well... I gotta say that this made me feel sad. I'm not patriotic, and this is a prove that when soldiers are out there, watching so much horror and death, only faith and not the "love" towards their country keep them going. And sometimes, not even that. So unfair to them. They're sheeps, and not precisely of God. As System of a Down sayd, "Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?"
