Comparative Studies in Motivation

1. Letter home from an Italian soldier in North Africa during WW2:

"I am tired of this stinking hole filled with sand that gets everywhere, with the millions of devilish flies that swarm all over us and this horrible war and all our friends who have died needlessly to make those old men happy..."

2. Letter from a Russian Soldier to his wife during the defence of Stalingrad WW2 (In conditions far worse than in North Africa, equally against incredible odds at the time.)

"Zoya, the Germans will not withstand us, Sergei"
(That was it).
