He launched an impossible battle for his career, ordered the artillery to bombard his position in exasperation, and arrested soldiers in order to save face, on the grounds of cowardice. And how are these so-called cowards selected?
People are going to die, but soldiers care more about what gets killed. It's better to be killed quickly and painlessly than to die with pain. Death is the end of pain. People fear hurt and pain more than death.
There is only one question in the face of death, whether to die in honor or in disgrace.
The death penalty is not meant to kill, it is not so much to punish, not to punish others. That's why a dying soldier with a serious fracture is rescued, and he is asked to stay awake during the execution.
People are afraid of death, but even more afraid of facing death. Blindfolding will not change what is going to happen, but it will make people invisible to what is going to happen and numb themselves. This is the deepest powerlessness and weakness. The ignorant are happiest, even if happiness and happiness are not the same thing.
Three were executed, the battle was about to begin again, and the soldiers were revelling, give them a few more minutes before they set foot on the road to glory. There is everything on this road, but true glory is lacking.
