| I think it was a number of things that people fight with such courage, and if you have never seen combat you will never really understand what drives a man to go through such things. There is the fierce pride in himself and his unit, there is the understanding of the need to win the war as losing it is not an option.There is the understanding among most men that death is main option, and in this sort of thing, If live through this battle then next one might get you, so you have a very fatalistic outlook on life, and you live every minute that you can to the full. You fight to keep your buddies alive as they fight to keep you alive, you form friendship with the strangest of people that will last a life time. |
