Turn a blind eye to death?

Back in my hometown, there was a certain little cafe with an amusing sign over the bar.

It read,'Do not be afraid to ask for credit,

for our way of refusing is very polite.'

War is much more than obeying orders and charging into battle

Abandoning one's family, throwing one's head and throwing blood, but they are just a few pieces in the eyes of superiors

1957 movie, the war scene is hot and shocking

Finally, a ballad sung by a German female prisoner of war (played by Kubrick's wife) brought tears to her eyes

French soldiers also sang along with tears

The English lyrics are translated as follows:

Once there was a faithful hussar

Who loved his maiden for a whole year

A whole year and even more

His love won't ever cease

And when he received the message

That his sweetheart dear was dying

war is cruel

Results matter most to politicians and strategists

For soldiers, their concern is family

How many people are truly fearless on the battlefield?

Their simplest wish is to survive, to return to their loved ones when the war is over
