Nietzsche Tells It How It Is

The men in Band of Brothers need to fully understand something: they are not fighting for happiness!  In Band of Brothers, the men discuss freedom and show that they fight for freedom, which would be bring them happiness by returning to a safer country and their families.  This however, is false.  These men do not fight for the men and women in the United States, they fight for themselves!  Humans fight for existence, not the thanks of people they do not know for keeping their country safe.  If the men from Band of Brothers feel any happiness when they achieve victories, they are only feeling mere consequences of the path to staying alive and remaining in existence.  In addition, why do the men pray to God?  He is dead.  Supposedly, if he was alive, he would help them on their quest for survival.
