Arabischer Grabstein auf dem Soldatenfriedhof Hartmannweilerkopf im Elsass.
Hier kämpften im 1. WK Franzosen, Deutsche, Christen, Juden und Muslime um die Vorherrschaft auf einem ("strategisch wichtigen")Berg.

    He is five feet two, and he´s six feet four,
    he fights with missiles and with spears. He is all of
    thirty-one, and he´s only seventeen.
    He´s been a soldier for a thousands of years.
    He´s a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist,
    a Chein, a Buddhist and a Babtist and a Jew. And he knows,
    he shouldn´t kill and he knows he always will,
    kill for me my friend and I will care for you.
    And he`s fighting for Canada, he`s fighting for France.
    He´s fighting for the U.S.A., and he`s
    fighting for the Russians, he`s fighting for Japan,
    and he thinks we put an end to war this way.
    And he`s fighting for democracy, he`s fighting for the Reds.
    He says it´s for the peace of it all.
    He´s the one who must decide, who´s to live and who´s to die,
    and he never sees the writing on the wall.
    And without him, how would Hilter kill the people at Dachau,
    without him Caesar would have stood alone.
    He´s the one who gives his body as a weapon of the war,
    and without him all this killing can´t go on.
    He´s orders came from far away, no more.
    They came from here and there, and you and me ain´t brothers,
    can´t you see, this is not the way to put an end end to war.
