In "All Quiet on the Western Front" I recall one of the characters teachers encouraging the young kids to go... Did your teacher preach about the glory of fighting for freedom in Iraq?

Reading wikipedia it seems when the book came out it was critically received by some for "it's pacifists agenda".

Sure, we still glorify warfare, but our culture and tolerance for casualties have changed dramatically.
