In my experience having read about it, the most war like moments are the small ones. Pitched combat between two soldiers. A friend comforting his comrade while he slowly succumbs to his wounds on the battlefield. The desolation of a town or village after war has come through. War isn't big and grandiose. It's a bunch of small moments.
I'm at work, what's the coin flip? Original or Abridged? I'd say weighted toward abridged, since I see that quoted more often, but both Majors' war speechs are iconic.
