You can see the first how 3 lines just wiped out Kit's smile. Sabaton does not have boppy, happy, feel-good stories. They have good music, and they have stories that need to be told and remembered. But I can not think of any where everyone "lived happily ever after".

@@Zabiru-. After the first line, Kit stops moving with the music, and you can watch all emotion drain out of him. During the third line, he says "oh", showing he understands the loss. Not necessarily this loss, but the loss of life. I won't be coming home. I won't be going anywhere. I will guard this post forever. Those 3 lines say the most important thing in this song. Everything else is embellishment. Whether it happened in the White War, or Desert Storm, the pain and loss are there.

if he has any service he should be VERY emotional if he watches the live version of "en livstid I krig" from Göteborg Sweden , it is a soldiers view of the 30 years war. it deals with the toll on the soldiers, you xan FEEL the pain and fear, another one is "to hell and back " it shows dark side of combat, PTSD, drugs... another one is "Christmas truce" in the video there is representation of flashbacks to combat... anx the end they have Christmas truce "lest we forget" carved in a white Cross surrounded by lit candles while a operatic voice sings, also emotional.

The difference in reactions is that between someone who gets it because they have lived the loss and someone who has no clue. Her reactions were almost inappropriate and offensive until you take into account that she is listening without understanding. She is very fortunate to not know such pain. The Jarhead, like most Marines, gets "It" because he has felt the loss and the sober resignation to the reality of war and military service. I escorted my Brother-In-Law home after a Liberty related accident in 1993 as we were both on active duty at the time. He is correct, this is nothing that you want to see nor endure. Semper Fi, Kit.

For those who doesn't know what white Friday is. On December 13th, 1916 at 5 AM, known as White Friday, a series of avalanches hit both Austro Hungarian and Italian barracks and basically buried them with everyone inside. People reported afterwards that both Austro Hungarian and Italian troops fired artillery at the loose snow on the mountains to cause avalanches on each other's side. The total death toll is unknown, but approximately 2000 soldiers died and a dozen civilians. Many of the bodies were never found. Some are being found nowadays with the ice on the mountains melting more and more due to climate change.

How to put this? Sorry for any grammar mistakes in advance. I think it is interesting to see how different reactions to songs or stories in general can be. Compare this to the reaction to the Christmas Truce. Regarding the latter, Kira had a "small breakdown", which is perfectly alright. But then, Kit kind of comforted her.

To give some context, "White Friday", even though the avalanches occurred on a Wednesday, was the term that signified the days that followed the avalanches. It was not only Italian soldiers, but Austro-Hungarians and civilians that were taken by these avalanches. By the end of it all, around 2,000 to 10,000 people, primarily soldiers, were killed by the avalanches, making White Friday the worst avalanche related disaster for over half a century until the Huascarán debris avalanche in 1970, which took the lives of over 30,000 people and practically wiped the town of Yungay off both the map and the face of the Earth. The song also makes reference to Blood Mountain, which was the the English translation for Col di Sangue, a nickname for Col di Lana. Indy Neidell, who co-hosts the Sabaton History, goes into detail as to how Col di Lana received that nickname.
