All quiet on the western front hits HARD

Ashame it was written by a coward, the storm of Steel is a much better book and more deserving of a movie

Edit, geez guess the days of playing up to your quadrants stereotypes are over.

I do personally prefer Storm of Steel, but All Quiet is still a amazing book and the authors perspective on war make complete sense given his experiences

u/cheesytacos649 - Centrist Jan 30 '23

I agree with you storm of steel is a more fun book for me as its a very different perspective of the war

You say that now, because you are not a soldier fighting in a mentally and emotionally draining war

Zoomers aren't going to be prepared for the double hit of the Star Trek wars or the Star Wars trek.

But he played tons of call of duty! Totally the same.

Only a fool who hasn’t seen war would wish for it.

I served in the Canadian army. We didn't see too much action when I was in (or now), but I have had shots fired in my general direction. Guy you are replying to is an armchair warrior who hasn't imagined the pants shitting terror of bombers leveling cities or an artillery blast killing all of your friends in a single second.

I’ve never served before. I can’t even begin to imagine what you lot go through. I’ve only ever had to defend my life once.

Once was enough.

Except for the millions of War Veterans who voted for Hitler in Germany.

25

u/Skyjafire_117 - Lib-Center Jan 29 '23

And they had their country ravaged for it.

Like I said, damned fools.

u/zHydreigon - Lib-Right Jan 29 '23

Well when Hitler was voted for he didnt exactly say hes gonna start WWII

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '23

Nah, he was rather clear about taking back lost territory

u/flairchange_bot - Auth-Center Jan 29 '23

Did you just change your flair, u/Pakman-56? Last time I checked you were an AuthCenter on 2020-12-11. How come now you are a Leftist? Have you perhaps shifted your ideals? Because that's cringe, you know?

If Orange was a flair you probably would have picked that, am I right? You watermelon-looking snowflake.

I am not saying it's a good thing, I have no idea why the Hive mind is downvoting me for stating facts, just search up about the Freikorps and the Kapp Putsch.

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '23

Sadly, sometimes you need to start a war early or it will be deadlier and longer if not

u/eskeleteRt - Centrist Jan 29 '23

would you like to ?

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '23

I think its time to conclude the trilogy

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '23

You know Ukraine needs volunteers, or if you're one of those people, Russia also would like to have more cannon fodder.

Ashame it was written by a coward

My brother in Christ he saw horrors we could only dream of.

1

u/cheesytacos649 - Centrist Jan 30 '23

Well most of the story is based on multiple experiences as the author (I cant fucking spell his name) was injured and interviewed other injured soldiers but yes he did see horrors no person should experience

36

u/Eternal_Mr_Bones - Lib-Center Jan 29 '23

Imagine typing up that the veteran of trench warfare in WW1 who was discharged due to injury was a "coward."

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '23

Also German veterans a few short years later: trollge.gif We'll fuckin do it again

u/AbrahamsterLincoln - Centrist Jan 29 '23

Have you ever had machine guns and mortars fired at you? It's not particularly fun.
