I've read a lot of war writing, even World War I writing, the British war poetry of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves's memoir 'Goodbye to All That', and a civilian memoir, 'Testament of Youth', by Vera Brittain.

I am what I am. I love me!...A crust eaten in peace...Fear is the foundation of safety...Man is not the enemy here, but the fellow victim...Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do...Corruption is just another form of tyranny...
