"You'll see some terrible stuff, I guess. That's how it goes. But try to look for the good things, too. They'll be there if you look. So watch for them."

I love looking for the positive in everything. People who only focus on the negative are going to get negative. However, if you search for the good in every situation you'll find it. To me this quote isn't about the situation but how one chooses to look at the situation. A person shouldn't let the situation control them but them control the situation. The soliders can't change that they are in the war, that choice was made long before then; however they could look at their situation in the best way possible.
