Men are not "hardened" by war in any sense that
debases their fundamental characters. It should illustrate also what
is hard to describe except by example, that the impact of war's
emotional strain reaches to the very depths of a man's being and
tears at his spirit far beyond normal experience. War is a living
passage, like that of Dante, into the rings of the Inferno.
