Whether he comes back alive or not, he won't be the same after what he sees. So ignorant and naïve.

They are not surprisingly naïve about how a lot of things in the world works.

@manwithballsonarm6775 We're talking about this guy. He looks like he's in way over his head. Also, war is something that traumatizes people. A lot of people who come back from war aren't the same after having come back. This was already shown after the World Wars, the Vietnam War, Korean war etc. A lot of normal people can't handle war.

"It's about getting fed" "The fighting in China is Chinese, and that means it is peculiar. Very little of it is fighting to a finish. The numbers slain in actual combat are astonishingly low in relation to the total forces engaged. Between two armies of approximately 50,000 men each, say, one may completely rout the other with no more than two or three hundred killed on both sides. The Chinese soldiers have little courage for determined conflict. They lack the exhilaration in strife, the blood lust of possible victory, that characterized the Japanese and some of the rest of us. And then they have nothing to fight for in a sense of vanquishing somebody else. The soldiers are in the army they happen to be in order to eat. They are there to escape death by starvation. Why would they risk it by bullets?" - "Ways that are dark: The Truth About China" by Ralph Townsend (Former US Consul who lived in 1930s China)

@jacobbohn9658 why pay when you can just wear a cardboard box? It's basically the same thing.

@dereknicol3465 glad you think people being blown up or killed in front of you is a laughing matter. You clearly haven't spoken to someone's who has lived through war.
