The young Paul Boymer, the fitter Garden, Miller who always carried his textbooks with him, the sober-minded Corporal Cropp, the coal digger Haile Weishus, the farmer Deterling, and Stanislaus Kaczynski were sent to the front after ten weeks of military training. In 1918, the last member of this class was killed on the front line. The record in the battle report of the army headquarters was only one sentence: There is no war on the Western Front.

Arms and violence are straightforward means of resolving disputes, but war should not be used lightly as the "easiest way." War is the strategy of those in power, a bargaining chip on the negotiation table, a financial resource for war capitalists, an incitement by those with ulterior motives, and an after-dinner conversation piece for aristocrats who stay out of the matter. In any case, war is undoubtedly a disaster for the people and the country. It destroys houses and fields, and destroys thousands of years of economic construction. It consumes manpower, material resources, and financial resources for no reason and senselessly. It expands conscription and breaks up families and hinders normal population growth. It uses factories to turn products that should belong to the people into weapons that harm the people. Through the mouths of those who have experienced it firsthand, the cruelty of war is clearly revealed.
It is short, concise and extremely realistic. It is countless times better than the popular YY works such as Invincible and God of War.
It makes people deeply feel the cruelty of war and is very inspiring.
