>>18494120Bunch a dishonest cowards, those 20th century soldiers. Not like my plundering and raping mercenaries of the 30 years war, those men were honest.

persian women have always been whores
>>18494120I can understand why they ran into machine gun fire
>>18494120I'm french and from the style alone it's clear no real woman has written thatyou don't speak in this ceremonious and aggrandizing prose to someone you had sex withcan I ask where it is from?
>>18494443yup. Bull here was most probably a Tirailleur Senegalais.

>>18495873Go to around 55 minutes in here.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bJs2Q89FtKs&pp=ygUTdGhlIGJpZyBwYXJhZGUgMTkyNQ%3D%3D&ra=mThe screenwriter and others who worked on the film had experience fighting in WWI and based it on Laurence Stalling’s ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laurence_Stallings ) account, so I believe it was loosely based on real letters that French girls had written. The letter stuck out to me from how refined it is. I believe women of that era wrote like that but modern women don’t. The context you grew up in is just too different.>>18496164Autism
Paris, March 15, 1915 My Dear Bull, OR, how prodigiously the life of a human being can be transformed by the most insignificant of incidents! The same is true for the fate of nations, for the destiny of the world! If you had not whispered to me as you did, "Hello, Darling!" who would have thought that the march of civilization, in the depths of centuries, would not have been so prodigiously different? What force can be different in the mouth of the most indignifying human beings. Our existences, the existence of humans, have become enemies.
>>18495873Yeah, it sounds like some existential monologue straight outta Thin Red Line lmao
