Braver and more patriotic than any soldier ever will be.
She’d be dead if she tried that in the jingoistic states of America.
One of the few upsides of conscription versus volunteer armies, the soldiers are actual people, not bloodthirsty monsters.
Depends on the country, some of them do some great brain washing on the soldiers
