He sure doesn't take his gun and 200 rounds of ammunition and his bayonet and his gas mask and go to a Sunday school picnic, does he? Huh?

NOT Sb SWEET NOWADAYS

They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason.
