War brings out both the worst and best in men. To say otherwise - well - its easy to do if you have never been there. I agree it can bring out an ugly vileness that is hardly recognizable. It can also bring out the most self sacrificing, giving care that you can imagine.
The reality is that war is ugly - and thus it takes men willing to get their hands dirty to fight it. If your fighting a war fairly - your not fighting to win. War is a life or death struggle. Win or die.... with those stakes on the line, unless you have been under fire - you have no concept of what it is like. And cannot - no matter how you intellectually examine it.
Its not the bullet with your name on it that you have to worry about....
Its all the ones marked "To Whom It May Concern" that always worried me. But worrying isn't going to stop them from flying - what will is putting an end to the guy firing them.......
