Norman M. Stewart The ones that do look battle ready tends to get killed off quite early (especially if they are a secondary character). The princess and girly types got a higher survival chance for some reason.

Zetto Vii The survival chances of female characters in visual media are measured by their "Boner Quotient", named after its' creator, Phileas M Boner. Loosely, it states that as their physical attractiveness and display of feminine traits (screaming at any surprising event, the obviousness of their attraction to the male protagonist, square acreage of skin revealed by their outfit etc) increase, so do their survival chances. Certain genres can subvert this somewhat, by having the final act of a story apply an inversion, thus guaranteeing their death as a motivator for the protagonist to engage in the final confrontation with the Big Bad

It would be interesting to read something on a psychopath returning from war who saw it as 'no big deal' in their life

There was no PTSD in Soviet Union. Not even after the WWII. All who make claims to the contrary are western serpents seeking to besmirch the glorious history of the Motherland.

General Melchett and Captain Darling

This trope is actually based in reality in regards to WWI, in many armies you still needed to have finished high school at the very least to become officers and in most places they were relatively few because only relatively well off people could go beyond elementary school (and in extreme cases most of the soldiers were illiterate, Italy was in this situation at the time) with the result that many officers were there because they filled the requirements not because they were actually competent, and some armies tended to favour people from the aristocracy and the upper classes regardless who often were a bunch of twits that considered the common soldiers inherently inferior and treated them like shit. It didn't help that WW1 was a very different war from what most experienced officers had experience with.

Paths of Glory has it all

Yeah...there was a reason why WWI was a lesson in modern warfare massacre tactics. Most military theorists were still operating on single-shot rifle tactics, cavalry charges, and short-ranged artillery positioning in an era that had WITHIN A COUPLE DECADES developed light machine gun nests (machine guns had been invented prior, but they were massive and acted more like an alternative artillery piece rather than an infantry support platform;), automatic and semi-automatic rifles, and tens of thousands of soldiers rather than the few hundred to few thousand-man armies of the century prior. It was a HARD wake-up call, and it still took two years before cavalry charges were definitively declared a bad military strategy by top brass.

Baaaah!

It's also not historically accurate at all, and in A movie called "Pearl Harbor" the love tried shouldn't be the main plot.

I actually made a reference to this in an early draft of my novel (sadly has since been removed) where this one dude refused to wear a helmet in case his life was actually a movie, and proceeded to get shot in the face on his first patrol. Hence all the characters never left the airfield without kevlars.

NizzleNotes There were some pretty serious studies of the effectiveness of, well, everything by the US after WWII. Turns out that infantry mostly needn't have bothered wearing helmets at all, but tank crews did benefit from them quite a lot

This can be used as a sign of toughness or self opinion and also make them contrast with all this dead meat around.

You might think it's a trope but the British Parachute Regiment is known for dropping in then removing their helmet to don their bright red beret, helmets are largely only useful for protecting against falling debris.

@@CynicalOldDwarf But that's the British. They're well known for abandoning all logic in favor of wearing bright red that makes them easily visible targets for enemies with average vision and moderately accurate weapons. But you know, I can kinda see why they might go with bright red and not neon green, or Hi-Viz yellow. Bright red is the same color of blood, and therefore is easier to wash.

I think its a common thing to fall in love with a certain word or phrase, I fell in in love with the trope where two people are talking about the character and then that character shows up interrupting their talk with a one liner based on the last thing said about them.

Or have the grizzled old vet call the newcomer "rookie".

Well, if the person actually is a kid, like, 15 or 16, then I think it is okay. I mean, in beasts of no nation, the main character actually is a kid. It could be a good theme to show how war destroyed innocence. Like in World War 1, many soldiers were 15, 16, or even 12 year olds who lied into their position and saw the horrors of war before they even finished High School thinking it would be some valiant journey, but instead, a mindless slaughter.

I know that this comment is old, but that's actually a really cool idea. It brings into question at what point all the other characters would get sick of his aggression and value their own comfort and a lack of enemy suffering over his efficiency at getting the job done regardless of the cost.

John Doe I think JP’s point here is that such soldiers got pulled into a regular armies, rather than in a specialized force like SS. Still I think it would be interesting to see how other characters will react to his actions.

In real war, this is not how it works. "Evil people do evil things" is just a nice thing we say, so we can distance our self from warcrimes. The milgrim prison experiment showed that most people can turn into monsters given the right (or wrong) context. Most Nazi Warcriminals were normal people. In Nanking the vast majority of soldiers raped and killed POWs as well a civilians. That is (in my opinion) the real horror of war. Not that you get confronted with evil people, but that you might find, the real evil is in you.

Terrible. The Italian soldier telling the story to his daughter, who has an oddly American accent, effectively solos an entrenched mountain position and is rendered invincible by wearing a few steel plates. He even survives a plane crashing into him. Totally realistic.

SPR is a terrible film. The scene you mentioned could be interesting, if it wasn't bookended at the end of the film with the message that it's ok to shoot a POW if they are German and you have a personal problem with them. Also, whether a soldier is a volunteer or conscript should not dictate how they are treated.

@@therightarmofthefreeworld4703 would love to see you make a film then

What pisses me off is when people use the “no prison facilities” excuse and totally avoid the point that war makes people do terrible things to the other side. Large POW camps were some of the first things set up at the Normandy Beaches. Real life supply shortages and abuses killed far more surrendered soldiers than refusal to show mercy, but of course that would make the allies look too much like their enemies. I don’t understand why people feel the need to alter history when there is so much horror and lessons about the human condition in real life.

Furthermore: Jack, Will and Elisabeth Tsu'tey, Neytiri and Sully Gale, Katniss and Peeta And my personal favourite: Harry Potter and the love dodecahedron

The Legolas/Tauriel/Kili one only happened in the movie, because Tauriel didn't exist in the book. The Arwen/Eowyn/Aragorn one was grossly over-exaggerated in the movies, and barely present in the books. So not bad book tropes, but *definitely* bad screenplay tropes.

debaiona Oh, definitely; I brought them up because Pearl Harbor was the example in the video. Everyone knows that the book Love Triangles were Frodo/Ring/Boromir, Frodo/Samwise/Smeagol, Frodo/Precious/Gollum, and Frodo/Smeagol/Gollum. Also Smaug/Arkenstone/Thorin and Bilbo/Precious/Gollum.

Actually, he probably doesn't care about shooting either. I mean, if you're talking WW2 or sooner, when we didn't know that drafting people against their will to fight in armies, meant they weren't actually shooting AT the enemy... just in their general direction. That is, until we brainwashed them to be good little soldiers and shoot everything that moves without ANY thought.

Just about every soldier IS a philosopher. The majority of war is sitting around being bored out of your mind with the same group of guys for months on end.

I have read a book like that once, historical about the false accusation of Dreyfus, written by Robert Harris, officer and spy or something like that, I recommend it lol.

I once wrote a Vietnam war story when I was like 11 for something in class. The teacher liked it alot apparently. I just recently dug it up and I still think I did pretty well for an 11 year old. (with some cringey exceptions of course). I remember when I portrayed the medic as the sadistic kind.

I also learned from military FPS games that suppressed weapons make absolutely no noise from the enemy's perspective, so you fire away like you don't have to worry about heat regulation and the guards won't hear a thing! But be careful, because if you make so much as one non-crouched footstep or nudge an object, every guard in the room will instantly know where you are and empty their magazines towards you no better than stormtroopers would, possibly hitting each other more than you. [To hilarious effect depending on if the game allows enemies to damage each other or not.]

then by that logic, in a fantasy setting where plenty of things dont exist are in that world, you'd have to explain every piece of weird shit in the setting. This isnt a video game where you bring up a codex that explains why the trees are pink, we dont have time or care why the trees are pink, its a fictional world with its own rules. Unless its something that is actually relevant, it doesnt NEED an explanation. If i made a world where the sky is green, do i really need to get into the science of why the sky is green? Because if i did, the best solution would be to just give a offhand one sentence explanation, not gonna get into the science of why the sky is green, cause why do you care that much if it doesnt really affect anything including the characters?

Or you could say the forest is exclusively cherry blossom trees? (sarcasm) I think what your describing would be better applied to Sci-fi or Science Fantasy. In those genres, anything out of the ordinary is more interesting if a little bit of science is thrown in. For example, time traveling could be explained by using actual theories about time travel and black holes. Just a thought. Fantasy can get away with being weird for the sake weird much more easily.

+Julia Lopez You have to balance what you explain and what you don't. Some things can be inferred by the viewer without too much trouble, some things fanon will fill in pretty well, some things just don't need explaining, and some things completely pull the audience out of the story if the writer doesn't address them. Using the pink trees example, I don't think an author would need to explain them if the trees are only there to add aesthetics. Depending on the hardness of the setting (if scifi or fantasy), it could just be handwaved with a throwaway "magic/genetic engineering did it". But if the trees were important to the plot in some way, the author would have to put in some extra effort, whether that being specifying _how_ the trees were engineered, or detailing the blessing given to the trees by the magical angels or whatever. In the end, it all comes down to Law of Conservation of Detail, with some Sanderson's Laws thrown in there. Either way, doing a little research is always great for the smaller details of the world, so long as you don't jam it in there. Plus, it always makes us nerds make little squeely noises when we spot them. EDIT: Just realized how similar this comment is to DarkSpyro707's. Oops.

Julia Lopez the pink trees are fake! they are monsters that lure you into a Trap!

Games For Everybody Nice! Can't wait to read that.

its not easy at all to humanize both sides of a war. the characters only live on one side of the line. and most of the time you cant dump info to make your side look good much less the other. i mean how many SOLDIERS even know what there fighting for or the politic that led to a war? few books on war have the character travel so enemy cant be good people. P.S i DO like the note book idea in this video world war z style that could work

The biggest problem (imo) is that you don't get the rewarding feeling reading the last page from a happy ending when you find out "and then they died, and their country was conquered, and their people oppressed, and..." and so on. Then again, there's no one way to write, so I guess it all depends on the writer. Endings don't *have* to be all bright sun and rainbows to get a message across. ...So I hope it works out for you!

Games For Everybody although i dont much about the boer wars apart from "netherlands" vs UK. Bear in mind that no side is rainbows and sunshine

Yeah, I'm continuing the story after the war, where they find a new place to live, so things work out for them, just not in the way they intended.

Or that shoe-horning in a love triangle where it doesn't fit is what makes a story suck.

This seems like a love triangle between a story, the bad boy triangle, and the sweet and gentle not-triangle! Whose Story gonna end up with! Read to find out~
