Description
HetaliaSorry... more serious bzns... I know a WWII veteran who flew jet fighters in Europe. I thought he was a bit nuts to do that but he told me one day that the men who flew bombers/transports were absolutely insane! In order to get a ticket home, a bomber crew had to complete at least 24 missions, by 14 missions they're usually dead.
I was hoping to post some that were more humorous but couldn't complete them in time. Maybe later this weekend.
The original idea was to have the pictures seem like something that could be found in a WWII photo archive. Like if someone with a camera was going about and took a few shots. The pics though looked awful in greytone so I kept it colored.

Huh. You know, my grandpa was a bomber pilot. He didn't talk about it much though.

An close acquaintance of my dad also flew bombers, but he never talked about his experiences. I was also too shy to ask him

Well it is true. The Pilot Officer I knew who served on Avro Yorks, had begun service in 1941. By 1943 out of the entire group of men who he trained with, only three or four others were still alive. The fellows he trained with went to Bomber Command, while he and a few others ended up as navigators in Transport Command.

I really like this piece. I wish the series Hetalia would delve into some more serious business. But I do enjoy its light-hearted nature anyway.
I LOVE how you drew this, great composition, and nicely colored too. Great job!

Sometimes I wish Hetalia would, too, but then that's what us fans are here for, no?

My pleasure, your line when you draw is very nice.
Yes, the fans of a series can make some wonderful things. Fill in the blanks.

That so sad.... :weep:
The emotions running across both Alfred's and the Pilot's faces!

Wow. That must be so aggravating and painful, knowing you're going to die before you get to retire. Watching your friends die, watching the enemy die.
What is evil? It's merely a point of view that differs from yours too much.
The enemy line must feel the same too, what's the point?

I think the definition of evil is progressive and ever-changing. And it also depends on perspective. Yet in war, what is generally considered the norms of what is right and wrong are generally same thing on both sides. But that's just it. The people who fight all just happen to be on the opposing side.
I remember a veteran once said that war is a part of human beings because we are aggressive, destructive animals. Is that right?

Evil is a scapegoat. There is no such thing as evil, just cruel humanity. I hate it when people say something is inhuman (such as skinning a cat alive, disgusting though that may be) because it was A HUMAN who did the action, thought it up. You know?
And it's all a point of view. So many people hate the germans now because of Hitler. But how can you blame an entire nation for one man's goals? Yes, what they did was cruel a horrifying, but they thought they were doing to right thing. It's so easy to brainwash people, to change what they think is right. It's too damned easy... We think they're evil, they thought we were evil for putting their country in so much dept. It's all a matter of view.
It is. I have a theory humans have developped a gene that is set to self-destruct and destroy everything around it along with itself. The War to End All Wars. I bitterly laugh at the irony and the falseness of that statement. Watch as a third world war ends up unfolding before our eyes.

It's like if it's capable of happening then it's naturally occuring. I think humans have become too competitive to ensure their own niche in this materialistic world. The drive to overpower and do away with rivals to ensure one's own survival (which includes things we can all do without). We become so engrossed by this we drag ourselves down, as well. Oh the irony.
I think the War to End All Wars propaganda that didn't surface till near the end. It was a way to persuade troops to continue fighting. It's like WWII was called the Great Crusade after 1944.
Heh. Already got my 3-D glasses and popcorn out and ready.

The point is, they let everything they created blind them. Religion, possession, ambition... TIME. Time especially. And history. What's the point in remembering the past if all that's going to happen is the same thing, over and over again?
Ahaha. Ha. HAhahahaha. What a lie. A joke. A cruel, sick, twisted, putrid, disgusting joke. People still believe that to be true. They ignore the possibility of Russia and America going to war.
Might as well go and get a camera, film the action up close. You know, just so we have something to help us remember what happened before we all die of nuclear radiations and the such.
