I don’t know what
I’ll do if my brother ever decides to join the military. The number of young
men (and women now) joining to fight terrorism and evil dictators overseas is
astronomical. I know quite a few people fighting right now so that I can have
the freedom to write this.
During the Civil War,
the amount of young men leaving home to fight was even higher. They would watch
their fathers, brothers and friends leave to fight, and for the sake of
patriotism and pride, they would usually follow suit. They would go to fight
the evil of slavery or the overbearing Northerners. Well, not all of them felt
that way.
One of the main
feelings among the soldiers of this day was the overall feeling of brotherhood.
They’d fight and die right alongside the men in their company, but they also
felt a feeling of brotherhood with the enemy.
Why?
