* A good study on the differing ends of the scale occurs in ''Fanfic/TiberiumWars''. On the one hand, the story is cynical itself, with cruelty, [[NecessarilyEvil necessary evils]], [[AnyoneCanDie senseless death]], and [[WarIsHell disturbing brutality and violence]]. This is shown particularly well in a brutal moment where a Nod officer has to execute his own wounded because they'll slow his able-bodied troops down while retreating. On the other hand, the story also shows compassion, loyalty, and friendship are powerful forces that can let leaders command their men successfully and can let the dog soldiers on the ground survive the worst. The idealistic side is shown in a scene where Commander Karrde addressed a unit that had been maule dunder his command, asking for volunteers for a dangerous mission. He expects them to refuse or deride him for getting so many of the troops killed, only to have the entire unit volunteer, believing that his command was the only thing that got them out of the battle alive.
