War is not worth it. All sides lose, life, get hurt, and those who survived are never the same.

This is truly heartbreaking. What we do to one another is unthinkable sometimes.

Young men living their anonymous private lives, ripped out of them and put into these devastating murderous circumstances and all because of some megalomaniac psychopaths.

Unfortunately all this pain and sadness for nothing !! Such a wonderful World we have but full of idiots

The look of fear and PTSD makes even the grown man shed a tear thinking of what those guys just went through.

Heartbreaking. The look of defeat and wondering what will happen as a prisoner.

That guy with the mustache had such an empty, lost look.

Pobrecitos los soldados solamente tenian que recibir ordenes de sus superiores. Toda guerra es cruel y desquisiadas.😢

Почему людям нужно воевать? Никогда не понимала и не пойму! Можно жить в дружбе! Любить и помогать друг другу ! И жизнь станет прекрасной и легкой до все

Die Personen die Kriege führen oder führen wollen stehen nicht an der Front. Auch deren Kinder nicht. Menschen aus dem Volk müssen gegen ihre Brüder und Schwestern kämpfen und töten und sterben. Oder sie werden schwer verletzt an Körper und Seele😢. Dabei kennt man den Anderen nicht einmal. Alle haben Eltern, Urgrosseltern, Brüder, Schwestern, Frauen, Männer und oft auch Kinder. Zürück bleibt schwarze Erde. Auch die Tiere und die Natur müssen schuldlos leiden. Es muss alles, wirklich alles für den Frieden getan werden. 🙏🕊

Such a truly terrible war. Gassing was allowed. My husband’s grandfather was wounded and gassed in France.

[RickBerg-bk]

The original footage must have been longer
