The war is ongoing – two major ones and several smaller ones. 

Some individuals have made the air around us toxic, and they are chosen by the citizens of their respective countries. So, the blame lies with the people.

But the leaders are not in the front. They only receive body bags and salute with sad faces, and then the game is over for them.

Have you ever wondered what a soldier on the front lines feels?

I just remembered the 1990 war drama film, Memphis Belle, directed by Michael Caton-Jones and written by Monte Merrick. 

The film ends with a tribute honoring all airmen, whether friend or foe, who fought above Europe during World War II. 

Memphis Belle was inspired by, in fact, an adaptation of director William Wyler's 1944 documentary 'Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress,' which depicts the final mission of an American Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber named Memphis Belle, stationed in England during World War II.

The movie beautifully incorporates “An Irish Airman Foresees His Death” by William Butler Yeats. Danny (Eric Stoltz) is too shy to read his own poems to his fellow airmen on the night before their final bombing mission over Germany but recites W. B. Yeats’s poem. 

Read the lines here - 

“I know that I shall meet my fate
 Somewhere among the clouds above;
 Those that I fight I do not hate,
 Those that I guard I do not love.”
