"Dear wife and dear parents and dear all I am well hurt. Hope it will be nothing. Raise children well dear Lucie. Leopold will help you if I do not get out of it. I have a crushed thigh and am alone in a shell hole. I think we will come out soon. My last thought is towards you. " (*) Source: http://dictionnaireduchemindesdames.blogspot.com/2009/01/c-comme-cros-jean-louis.htmlWell, the last thought of this man was not the motherland, but the family, his wife, his children. What a blow to the nationalism, isn't it?
This man is a picture of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, when He gave everything for the sake of His bride, the church, for the sake of everyone who surrendered to Him, surely not for the Pharisaical nation of Israel. Jesus died for the only nation a Christian is allowed to be part of, the Kingdom of God.
As Jesus was there dying alone on the Golgotha, and descended in Hell to take captive the soul of the faithful, at the same guise that dying French soldier was there in a bomb hole, bringing to us for the eternity the purest jewel from the hell of war: there's only one way it is worth to die, the one for the sake of Jesus and His bride.
During the war it happens indeed that men are divided between the love for their families and the duty toward the government. Often this is an absolute watershed which doesn't allow one to be with both sides: the last thought of dying soldiers, thanks God, is not the "motherland", but their darlings at home. Like Jesus.
These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. Hebrews 11:13, quoting Psalm 39:12
Crazy and mad nationalistic fanatics often went to war forgetting everything they had at home. They HAD to. When you divorce from the spouse God gave to you, and you chose another one, you have to forget totally the previous one. They forgot their true spouse, if they had one at home, their true family, children etc. All for the sake of an idea of man, because nationalism is the product of man's thought and works. (and invented by Satan).
This is why you observe in many locations of Europe, many monuments to the soldiers died in action in the Great War. Satan wants to hide that the overwhelmingly majority of them is died having in their heart, in their tears, in their mouth the name of their darlings at home, not the one of the "motherland".

"....The military memorial Redipuglia is a monumental military cemetery located in Friuli Venezia Giulia, built during the fascist era [1] and dedicated to the memory of more than 100,000 Italian soldiers died during the First World War. It is located within the municipal area of Fogliano Redipuglia in the province of Gorizia (Friuli-Venezia Giulia).

Things then went a little different in the following Great War, the WWII. There the enemy was not simply another's government, but an idea which would have killed the proper darlings at home. Nazi would transform the Russians in slaves. Italian nationalist harassed the families of Slovenian soldiers at home because they were not Italians. In the WWII there were not those episodes of mutinies caused by a revolutionary or pacifist rebellion, and sometimes even of exchange of Christmas wishes between opposite fronts, as happened in the Great War 1914 - 1918. Notwithstanding also in WWII the great majority of soldiers and rebels (partisans) died with their last thought for their darlings at home.
The nationalists of today, as in Italy mr Matteo Salvini and his ally Giorgia Meloni, are again building the idol of the nation. It is not of God, because it need to be borne by man's works:
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good. Jeremiah 10:5--------------------------------------------
