- war1025 7y agoI don't know that it's a correct reply for this comment, but it sparked in my mind the memory of "All Quiet on the Western Front" [1] The initial premise of which is that the townsfolk talk war up as a glamorous and noble thing, so all the boys enlist at the outbreak of WWI, only to find what absolute hell it is. Actually makes me want to go back and read the book. Or maybe re-read? I don't remember if we read it before we watched the film.
