In war soldiers go through traumatizing experiences.
             Some go insane in battle, those who live through the war
             often suffer from post war syndrome. They wonder daily
             whether they are going to live or die, and how their wife
             and family are. Many often hope for a "cushy" one in the
             leg, to go home. "The Sergeant's Private Madhouse", "The
             Second Variety", and Goodbye to all That have many similar
             war aspects but as technology evolved many new war
             "The Sergeants Private Madhouse" by Stephen Cuane takes
             place during the Spanish-American War, Goodbye to All That
             is during World War I, and "The Second Variety" is set in
             the future. Technological advances went from simple guns to
             killer robots. Like in "The Second Variety", people were
             killed by the continent with nuclear weapons and the
             survivors had to deal with robots who's only purpose is to
             kill the living. Things weren't like in "The Sergeants
             Private Madhouse" where the biggest fear was a bayonet
             charges and simple firearm fire. Or like in Goodbye to All
             That where small explosives and sniper rifles were commonly
             used. There was also the introduction of poison gas at this
             Even though the weapons evolved and wars became more
             like an early death. Most soldiers suffered traumatizing
             effects, whether it be from hypothermia or witnessing your
             brother's death. The Sergeants Private Madhouse" had one
             soldier loose it during battle. He sang children's songs
             while his troop tried to defend a surprise attack. In
             Goodbye to all That men were so afraid they'd try to get a
             "cushy" shot to the arm or leg so they could go home. Even
             in "The Second Variety" the creators of the robotic soldiers
             Soldiers rarely did what their mind thought right.
