The Soldiers Attitudes towards eachover

The two sides (mainly British and German) have what I think is quite an odd relationship between eachover. Why? This because they are so nice to eachover. For example on Christmas morning Germany and Britain played a football match on no mans land. They also on Christmas exchange gifts.

This at first seemed strange to me that they were so nice to eachover one day and then shot at eachover the other day. But I soon started to realize that neither sides soldiers actually want to fight. It is the people who are sitting way up away from the line drinking whiskey and wine and chatting about how much money they own who have the quarrel with other country's leader. I thought this was even stranger that rich people didn't get their hands dirty so put the country at war!
