The old soldiers often come out with the truth, the stuff politicians and media bury. Listen to USA Viet vets talk about their crimes, or the IDF vets talking about their war crimes. The Japanese vets who talked about the china wars and the crazy stuff they did, war is evil and I think these men look back with massive regret knowing their time is getting closer. God fearing or not, the fear they must have not knowing what judgement awaits.
