Couldn't imagine falling for the propaganda on either side and getting swept up in this war.

If anyone forced me to fight, they'd be the first people I shoot at.

World War II

18 November, 1944: An hour after Corporal Tommie Lee Garrett ordered Private George Green Jr. to clean up a spilled can of urine, Private Green pulled out his M1 Carbine rifle and shot Corporal Garrett dead at the United States Army base in Champigneulles, France. Private Green was convicted of the murder of Corporal Garrett and hanged on May 15, 1945, and he was buried in Oise-Aisne American Cemetery Plot E.

Holy shit man
