Summary

This quote emphasizes that war is not something to be glorified or celebrated, as it brings about immense darkness and tragedy. However, within this darkness, there are moments that reveal the true colors of human character and courage. It highlights the selflessness of individuals who are willing to put their lives at risk to assist and support their comrades. Despite the overall grimness of war, these acts of bravery and friendship serve as bright spots that remind us of the resilience and compassion that can emerge even in the most difficult circumstances.
