價值顛倒的世界...
Combat is a topsy-turvy world.Perfect strangers are going to great lengths to kill you; if they succeed, far from being punished for taking life, they will be rewarede, honored, celebrated.In combat, men stay underground in daylight and do their work in the dark.Good health is a curse;trench foot, pneumonia, severe uncontrollable diarrhea, a broken leg are priceless gifts.

其實翻譯成[突出部作戰]，只達到了一半意境
在這一章節，the breaking point也代表了重士兵們精神狀態的緊繃面臨崩潰



關於looting這個行為，之前有另一個討論串有說到
以下是Richard Winters的親身告白
"Did I feel guilty about this?"Winters asked homself in the interview.
"Did my conscience bother me about taking over this beautiful home? No! We had been living in foxholes in Normandy, we had been in the mud at Holland, the snow in Bastogne.Just a few days earlier we'd seena concentration camp.These people were the reason for all this suffering.I had no sympathy for their problem, nor did I feel that I owed them an explanation."
