Even though they are having these fights and “wars”, where they fight to die for cause, they are having real dreams about a world with peace and with no war. They try to follow and learn from their “heroes”, which in this case is the Major. In reality they are really ashamed of they are doing, and their fights are called “killing field, because when you are in a fight you actually kill more for the person than you really can imagine. Besides that the unity and the community is described as a really thick bond, where they got each other’s backs. Their relationship is so close that they are “brothers”. “Where the hills forever burn” Here it says something about how terrible it really is to live like that. It’s hard and difficult, but you fight for your brothers and your reputation.
Bert Trautmann experienced an accident, where he broke his neck in a soccer game. I believe it shows that you have to be thankful for what you got.

Besides that Bert has been to a war, but it is another war than the one the boys in the film are having. Bert has been fighting for his country in the second world war, and compared to Matt and Pete, who have been fighting for their reputation he have done a huge thing by fighting because it is for other people.

It shows that not everyone is raised in the same environment and not everyone is raised in cities. Some people are able to do certain things where as some people can not. Every person is not made the same, some may have disabilities like Nell, for instance, she has a speech problem. It is only because she grew up secluded from the rest of the world and that was the only way she knew how to talk. Towards the end of the movie, Nell made friends and was able to socialize a lot easier than before. It also seemed as if she had been taught how to talk normal because she said "remember that" to the little girl when they were by the pond. This shows to never judge a book by its cover and that even the worst situations can be
During their battles the squad sees that survival is not something that is taught but a matter of pure chance. They see their allies shooting allies. Their close friends in the war are killed and they must face the reality that getting out alive is luck. The goal of killing the enemy turns into just trying to stay alive yourself.

It is safe to play because of the conditioning/practicing, the changes in the rules, and the equipment have all been changed in some way, still improving till this day.
Just as one small spark can start a blazing wildfire, one simple bomb on the fateful day at Haymarket Square triggered an explosion in the labor movement that no one had expected. With tension growing exponentially in the workers’ rights area of United States reform in the 1800s, scattered riots inevitably broke out among restless workers, but no previous outbreak could compare to the impact of the notorious Haymarket Riot. The explosion in the crowd of workers battling police officers on that spring day in Chicago mirrored the explosion that occurred for laborers across the nation, with a combination of both beneficial and harmful outcomes to last the rest of history.
