After watching the movie "All Quiet on the Western Front", I have a new understanding of war. Why do we fight?

1. The training of soldiers by the army is unconditional obedience.

2. The German soldiers and French soldiers in the cannonball crater are inherently good, but war is a brutal killing that distorts human nature.

3. Only by seeing death as home can you live unrestrainedly.

4. "War is to attack each other, try to avoid being killed, that's all" war in the eyes of soldiers. "Millions of people have sacrificed their lives for the country, but what's the point?" People tend to romanticize and idealize war. Why don't men bring Wu Hook, collect the fifty states of Guanshan, drive a long car to break through the shortage of Helan Mountain, and die for the country? Le Shi remembers merit, but the real war is cruel.

5. I am not happy to go home. I have stayed here for a long time, it is not our place, I am not used to it.
