>WAR IS…
*leads a platoon to attack, comes back with three survivors*
*ordered to defend, entire regiment gets annihilated by artillery*
*every single officer embodying the noble virtues he admires dies except for him*
*loses half of a company under his command to a single artillery shell*
*pretty much anyone standing next to him dies*
>…LE GLORIOUS!

yeah his philosophy implies that all that horror just creates more perfect solders but he never seems to mention or observe all these other super solders being created

also basically nothing he did made him survive and nothing those other guys did caused their death. its just randomness and dumb luck. modern war is gay

You could say the same thing about poker, but they have tournaments for a game about randomness and dumb luck

It's also about reading but you can't do that either
