They saw the rubble, they wrote the newspapers, and they watched the starved of life and their beady eyes in their dreams for years after. Because, and I will now tell you why; All ****'s were still people, either horrible or anxious or experienced or scared for their lives.
All ****'s were scared as the English and the French were.
But what set them apart from the rest, was their willingness to follow orders to the tune of drums that drowned out the screams of burning women, and children dragged out into the streets, their Father's executed before their very young eyes.
There is no better way to make a soldier than to take everything away from them, and leave them to come crawling back.
