What are Kat's and Kropp's ideas about war and how do they compare to the soldier's current circumstances in the military?

Kat and Kropp, characters from Erich Maria Remarque's "All Quiet on the Western Front," share a disillusioned perspective on war, seeing it as senseless and devastating rather than glorious. They believe that the camaraderie among soldiers is overshadowed by the brutal realities they face. In contrast to the romanticized notions of heroism, their experiences in the military highlight the horrors of combat, the loss of innocence, and the psychological toll of warfare, starkly contrasting any ideals they once held. Their ideas reinforce the tragic futility of war, as they grApple with the harsh truths of their current circumstances.
