This interview answers the driving question: How can war, in all of its destruction, be beneficial?
Mr. Darbyshire, despite many preconceptions, actually enjoyed his experience in the army. He even said that it was the best decision he has ever made. The main reason for positive experiences was due to his companionship of outstanding individuals and the intense environment he was placed in. He was not willing to go into detail with certain aspects of his service but ultimately, he enjoyed his time in the Army.
