Love, War and Remembrance

The article presents information on war. War may not be the most intimate human relationship. But legions of soldiers returning from war have attested to the fact that, as one retired Army colonel in Colorado recently put it, "at the height of combat action, men don't fight for abstract ideals like love of country, apple pie, or motherhood. They fight, and die, for each other." The bonds between men serving in the military at wartime may be termed "comradeship" or something else, but chroniclers of war often testify to such unions being the single most profound relationship in their lives.
