Memorable quote! :D

While watching the movie the Red Baron (which is fantastic so if you have not already, you should watch it), there were several different quotes and actions that caught my attention. One of the quotes I have still been thinking about is when Manfred(the main character) is on the frontline with the General and they are arguing. Manfred was complaining to the General that the way they were killing their enemies was too brutal and disgusting. He was trying to tell the General, "Ummm hello! you're killing people out there! Real people! Like us!"(did not actually say it). The General says to him, "My soldiers do not kill people, they destroy the enemy!". Manfred calmly responds back with, "It still has the same effect." This part really caught my attention because he is right. It doesn't matter if the person is your enemy or anything like that, they're still a person. What do you think about this quote? Do you agree or disagree?

  1. I think it goes to show how the war has hardened hearts and disrupted people's Christian heritage. Should you really love your enemy as Christ taught... or should you kill them? It seems that Richthofen and the General, although both in the German military have emerged with two opposite beliefs about humanity.
