War is atrocious and therefore soldiers commit atrocities whether by command or individual psychopathy. The winner of any conflict gets to write its history and truth plays only a small part in it.
We are 'told' what a great hero Winston Churchill was and how evil and psychopathic Adolf Hitler was but an in depth study of history proves both premises to be inaccurate.
War allows both the good and evil in mans heart to reveal itself under the illusion of righteousness ... man will always suffer because of this fault and thus we see a captain who will save his enemies from drowning or worse and a captain who will shoot drowning men for sport or hatred.
What would you do ??
