As regular civilians, we don’t see what truth lies behind warfare. We simply see it in black and white. When we imagine fighting on the fields, we think of grenades being thrown and shots being fired at the enemy. We imagine soldier’s doing anything and everything they can to kill the enemy. But what is the enemy? For us that is a simple question, a silly question, but for soldiers it’s not. While we quickly answer by saying it is the opposing country that we’ve gone to war with, a soldier knows the real answer behind that question. For it isn’t a man that is the enemy, it is death. All men are the same. They all contain cells, they all are built up from the same organisms, and they all have characteristics that make them unique. It is this that makes mankind connected, we’re the same species and there’s nothing that can change that. A man fighting on the battlefield for Germany, is still connected to a man fighting on the battlefield for France. What side they come from does not and will not change that fact, they are connected. So when you think about it, what may be happening to a soldier on our side of the war, it is also happening to a soldier on the opposing side. It’s this realization that allows us to see the truth behind the enemy of the war. Men don’t fire their guns or throw their genedes just for fun, they do it to survive. The fight to escape death’s grasp. They kill to escape death’s grasp. Death is always the last enemy to be destroyed, it’s the true enemy.
