Monument to the unknown deserter

Again from James C Scott's "Two cheers for Anarchism". 
This is harder to digest, given that we are brought up to view desertion with horror (betrayal both of comrades and country) it checks the worst tendencies of the military to abuse and waste human lives, and more importantly, asks the question which needs to be asked "why are we fighting, and why cannot I go home?"
