One can not know what war is truly like based of off books, the news, personal stories, or any other source. One of the things brave soldiers on the frontlines needed though was food. Without food, a hungry soldier won’t be able to fight for his country knowing he will do his best. But in the instance when a soldier has been fighting for days without nutritious food, would it be alright for him/her to steal food from local farms and families to stay alive? I think that this idea can depend from person to person. Some may say that was is “every man for themself” and robbing local foods to help combat hunger would be acceptable. Additionally, in war, a soldier wouldn’t know who to trust as the enemy could come from anywhere, therefore not allowing him to feel empathy for the food they may take. Others may ethically think that stealing food in war isn’t ideal because most likely, even the victim might be struggling to not be hungry as well during the war. Although they may be the enemy, they are also just people the same as you and me. In All Quiet on the Western Front, there is a scene in Chapter 8 where Paul, the main character, talks to captured Russian Soldiers. After some time, he realizes that they are almost the same as Paul and he feels downhearted for them. Just because soldiers are on the other side of the fight doesn’t mean they are bad people. In the end, I think that it depends on the situation and how different people think during times of war as people aren’t in their best state of mind.
