Danh ngôn của Siegfried Sassoon (Sứ mệnh: 4)

Soldiers are citizens of death's grey land, drawing no dividend from time's tomorrows.
I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe that the War is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.
I believe that the purpose for which I and my fellow soldiers entered upon this war should have been so clearly stated as to have made it impossible to change them, and that, had this been done, the objects which actuated us would now be attainable by negotiation.
I am not protesting against the conduct of the war, but against the political errors and insincerities for which the fighting men are being sacrificed.
