All Quiet On The Western Front

War is a nasty, graphical, and brutal thing. It claims many men that have little or nothing to do with the cause their country has set before them as they have to fight for the country they live in and have to deal with hardships everyday. This was true during World War I because many of the soldiers (on either side) had to deal with the poor living conditions of living in rat and disease infested trenches where many of them would die and they had to deal with not having the proper supplies, such as food and boots, and would often have to get the supplies through various means such as getting the boots from a soldier that had lost his leg during a battle as in the case with Franz Kemmerich that was in the movie, All Quiet On The Western Front. Even today our soldiers have to deal with some of the same issues that soldiers had to deal with then. With everything said here about how war is, I would have to say that war should be a last resort to fixing a problem and should only be done if absolutely necessary.
