A soldier's face after four years of war at 3:07. Edivence that war is hell. Do you want this to happen to your son? At least he lived through it. Killing is a crime, war has to stop. If someone declares war, let him or her go fight it. Leave our young sons alone.
2:29 The goat means milk for the children & very possibly there was a baby on board. Milk & bread was an acceptable dinner for the time & place. That was a hard slog, driving thousands of miles out to California, sleeping on the side of the road in the dirt. Trying to husband your resources feed your family until you got there. My dad told me he rode to California and back from Missouri on his mother's lap 3 times, going 30 miles an hour. Kids, parents, grandparents & aunts & uncles, in 2 trucks. His folks didn't have a flush toilet in the house until after he was in the airforce, 1950s. When he died in 2017 he was still happy to have a big glass of cornbread and milk for his dinner.
