If you’re in a country and fighting a war, I think no matter how sure you are that you’re doing the right thing, you should always keep all your eyes open. Maybe you need to close them at certain times. Of course, you don’t need to be questioning your superiors in super dire situations or deserting in the middle of any skirmish or shootout, but I think without knowing the language of the people/environment around you, you’re willingly closing yourself off from better understanding the war you’re a part of. And that seems irresponsible.

This is where I'm leaning to. Being a decent human won't necessarily mean being a bad soldier.Connor Farrell wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 11:07 No, I think that it is a matter of good relations. Learning the language shows the civilians that you are dedicated to fighting with and for them instead of just mercenaries. It will not weaken the soldier by making them more attached.

You said it very well. Learning the language may help the soldier see war from the eyes of the locals, which can make said soldier better at being human and doing the job.Kelsey Copeland wrote: ↑02 Mar 2022, 13:14 I’m no soldier and there hasn’t been a veteran in my immediate family for a couple generations, but I feel like war is something very complex, and something that ignorance can easily take advantage of.
