What are the bodies of soldiers killed in battle?

On the battlefield, there are generally three ways to deal with the dead bodies of soldiers after their sacrifice: digging holes, burying them, cremating them, and throwing them away directly, which are ignored. In the long history, there have been many bloody wars. It can be said that human history is a history of war. When there is a war, there will be casualties, and in every war, there will be sacrifices. Thousands of soldiers died in large-scale battles. Dealing with these bodies is also a big problem. Let's talk about how to deal with it first.

The first kind of digging and burying is that after each war, the victorious party will search and collect the battlefield, bury all the sacrificed soldiers in deep pits, dig pits and the like, and then put all the bodies in and bury them. Digging and burying a corpse is a huge project, but compared with other treatment methods, this method is the embodiment of a happy ending.

The second is cremation, which saves more time and effort than burial. Gather the bodies together, pour gasoline on them and burn them directly. If the corpse is treated for too long, it is easy to rot and breed bacteria, which can avoid the plague caused by the decay and deterioration of the corpse and effectively prevent the spread of the disease.

The last kind of direct dumping is simpler and more rude, and it is directly dumped in the wilderness. No matter these bodies slowly decay, they are eaten by wild animals, insects and birds as food, eaten by mosquitoes and bitten by wild animals, only a pile of bones remains.

In fact, we can't bear either way. After death, we have no name, no one cares, and even the abandoned wilderness has turned into bones. War is too cruel for human beings or a country. May world peace, no war, no casualties.
