"He sought my pity, but had he any right to pity? Did a man of his kind deserve anybody's pity?"
I don't think that the dying soldier deserved to have pity. He had chosen to fight in the war. Even though he did not know what his duties would be he still knew that while they were in war what might happen. No one can make you do it. Risking your life could help you have save others and that is the greater good.
