The drudgery and tragedy of war, even in toy form. Think my most visibly war-weary soldier is this guy, was part of a set of what I called the "cheap bucket-o-soldiers" unit when I first got them. Back then my first experience with the classic Timmee Vietnam War soldiers was a Toy Story Bucket-o-Soldiers" from K-Mart; these other guys seemed cheaply made and some of the poses were crude by comparison. There was an extra pose however of a marching soldier with slung rifle that just tugs at the heartstrings. His whole demeanour is that of a crushed soul, head downcast as he trudges along mile after mile, his inner pain all too visible on his downward gaze.
