If you want to see who they are, read Jünger.

I think one of the worst parts is that Junger clearly has a generous heart inside of him, but it's twisted by his values and experiences to endorse a horrific way of life. When he says he has no animus towards any of the enemies he fought, and that he regards them as his brothers-in-arms as well, in a strange way, I believe him. Yet that also doesn't stop him from endorsing the thought of a neofeudal society in a state of endemic industrialized warfare wherein he and his brothers are doomed to murder each other every decade or so for no real reason.

People contain multitudes. And damaged people just as much.

All Quiet (Im Westen nichts neues) also has a great classic film version from 1930 that’s well worth watching. And a 2022 remake that’s… well, a decent remake.

I still haven't seen the 2022 remake (though I heard the ending completely misses the point of the title), but I have a fondness for the 1979 remake.
