That's fantastic. Years ago I argued with someone on Reddit about remembering those who served other countries. My position was, and is, that those people are not so different from us.

To me, that's a similar vein to what Kurt said. Armistice was about people stopping killing each other, about mutually finding the humanity in the people sitting opposite from you.
