Watched the 9 episodes of “Band of Brothers’ again today. Let me start the day by being provocative (which I really don’t mind being):

I do NOT think soldiers are heros! They chose that job, they chose to get a job where they may have to kill another human being, therefore I have no feelings for them. I do not wish them bad of course, I never do, but to me, they’re definitely not heros. A hero don’t kill, no matter if it’s war or not.

If it wasn’t the ultimate stupidity, it would make me laugh when in church we make “special prayers” for our soldiers or when a nation salutes soldiers as ultimate heros when they come back from war! Pfff! One has to be indeed “special” in his head to even remotely be willing to be a soldier, knowing full well that he may have to kill or see people killed in his career! what kind of a career that is! Especially for a christian! What kind of a christian wants to be a soldier in a non christian army (since we’re not supposed to fight flesh anyway)… All of this is ridiculous and leaves me dubitative.

Talking about christians (the hypocrit ones) & war, what did Jesus say when one of his disciple took the sword to defend Him? He said “he who takes the sword will die by the sword”. And presicely because we don’t fight flesh. A soldier who kill is a murderer, not a hero! Or maybe a hero in satan’s point of view!

Anyway, I really loved “Band of Brothers”.  I’m not an expert, but it seems to me to reflect the reality of the atrocities these soldiers have been put into during WWII. Plus, they hired really good actors, which is a plus in a movie!!

I still don’t know how someone can be part of this, come back alive (hopefully), and then live a “normal” life! It’s just incredible….
