Description
From the description:
‘‘War is horrible. There’s nothing good in it.’’
‘‘You may think that you’re prepared for it. you can join the army thinking that you know what to expect, and that by knowing it, you’re prepared to face it’’
‘‘But the truth is, nopony can ever be prepared for it’’
‘‘In the battlefield, you’re no more a person; you’re an object, a disposable pawn; you’re not expected to survive in a battle, and if it happens, it’s mostly for sheer luck than skills.’’
‘‘Same goes for your companions. It’s not recommended for you or your companions to become friends; soon or later, you will lose or they will lose you.’’
‘‘And the worst thing of all…. is when you survive the war. The body may heal from the wounds, but the soul not; the scars of war remains, the images of your comrades dying like meat throwned in the grinder, the ghosts of the enemy soldiers and civilians vidiying your dreams, screaming for bloody revenge. Change what’s already past is impossible, the scars will never leave.’’
‘‘Only two things left to do: remove your life with your own hooves, joining your companions in the endless abyss of despair, or…. moving forward.’’
‘‘Let not those scars be like a curse: take them as a lesson, an example for you and other ponies. Learn from them so you can teach others why war is horrible, why nopony should ever be treated like a pawn. If everypony say no about joining the army, there will be no more disposable dead meat; there may be no more war.’’
“Live your life; learn from the past, but not be absorbed by it; make the others never forget what means be a soldier’’.
‘‘Major Babs Seed…. life is yours now.’’

There are some fics out there that cover Equestria being plunged into war.
Of note, there is The Immortal Game by AestheticB. You can read it here
The proper hand for a salute is the right hand, and Big Boss lost his right eye.
