Superman and war

After 4 years of battles, 14 injuries, covered with decorations and citations, Ernst Jünger wrote in 1920 in his war "Thunderstorms dacier".
This novel is disturbing by its clinical description of the horror and stoic detachment of his heroes.
Jünger resumed his pen to publish two years after "War as an interior experience." This is a structured essay by themes around which the author shares his thoughts.

This Impressionist building gradually reveals his fascination with the condition of the troops elite soldiers, freed from the constraints of life (money, projects, comfort), facing the horror calmly, despising the danger, adrenaline enjoying each climb before the attack as each glass of Burgundy or sexual caress each dune prostitute.
This status Nietzschean superman, darchange of hell, Jünger saw with excitement and nostalgia unlikely (only way to survive the slaughter of absurdity?).
Moreover quavec Thunderstorms dacier, it goes completely against the grain of ambient pacifism. This idealization of war is devoid of hatred. The enemy is a playmate who can kill us, or will die.
But this approach to war and experienced soldier will unfortunately feed nationalism of all stripes or rogue dun mysticism Hitler, giving an aura fascist Jünger that he does not deserve.
