It is bittersweet overall, but to me, the inspiring part is that the soldiers themselves were good with throwing down their arms, understanding the position their opponents were in and seeing them as men in the same situation as them.
It was only the politicians and generals that ordered a return to fighting. It says to me most people are good, even when they’re put in a dangerous situation and told that being inhumane is the only way out. The people with power and ambition are the ones that want the fighting, but most of us would rather be friends.
