We Were Soldiers

Interesting post on the German Pilot. 

I think if you read Cross of Iron and (forget the other one) by Sven
Hassle (I think I got that right), you get a true (ugly) impression of
what the Eastern front might have been like. Stalingrad (non-US made
movie) might also be a good candidate. 

That front was a real war of ideology complete with
you-do-unto-me-because-I-did-unto-thee ad-naseum. The Western Front was
a tough fight. The Eastern Front was one large scale atrocity from the
get-go. 

And something tells me man vs. XT will end up about like that - war to
extinction. But that's just my cynicism creeping in.
