Military glory --the attractive rainbow that rises in shower

Summary

This quote refers to the concept of military glory, which is described as a captivating and alluring phenomenon. The use of the metaphor "attractive rainbow" suggests that glory in the context of warfare may appear desirable and glamorous.

It highlights the brutal reality behind the perceived honor and glamor of warfare.
