Synopsis:

on the one side they are described  as murderers and assassins, on the other side as necessary protectors. they often pull in voluntarily into wars, for what they simultaneously are being respected and praised or ignored and blamed. they are often considered not as subjects but objects, as game characters.
they have no voice, but a weapon. 
they are soldiers.
the war, an abnormal condition which has become normality. the cruelty becomes part of everyday life and transform itself into absurdity. the reality becomes unreal.
