WWII: A Day In the Life of a Soldier

    

     In the film, Saving Private Ryan,  it follows a team of World War II soldiers on a mission to relieve a soldier of his duty, due to the sudden losses of his three brothers, who were also a part of the war. While on this mission, the war left a physical, as well as, an emotional toll on all of the men involved, as their friendship and loyalty were put to the test with injuries, heartaches, and deaths. In the day of a soldier, there was really nothing to help one prepare for what was to come.While dodging bullets and trekking into enemy territory, each soldier was faced with that probable idea that they too would end up dying. It is evident in the film that many soldiers were faced with traumatizing experiences, and that even those who seemed to be immune to death and oblivious to the war itself, all had their own breaking point, to which they could not muster up the courage to put on a brave face and walk away and ignore the situation anymore. This is expected, though some will not admit to it, because, also seen in the film were all of the hardships that each of these men were faced with. It was difficult to live the life of a soldier, because with all of the excitement for serving your country and fulfilling your patriotic duty, also came the the physical fatigue and emotional burdens.
