>>16650460
You can be, he wrote two books about how.

>>16650460

>>16650460
You can be:
Step 1: get off 4chan and go outside
Step 2: lose weight
Step 3: stop being such a faggot

Ernst Junger would say "that world is dead, it is impossible to emulate me."

Jünger wouldn't approve of joining a modern Western military, especially not the Americans.

Storm of Steel era Junger when he actually looked like OP pic would have no problem with anyone joining the most dangerous combat arms branch of their national military, that's a fact jack

He wouldn't have a problem with the danger or the violence but he would have had a problem with someone giving up their life for that declining liberal mess.

Why does Jünger have the emotions of a little girl? His portrayal of war itself also felt weak, mostly spending his time with pranks or drinking against the fear, while looking away from major events. His prose is also awful to read.

Eumeswill is basically a description of how to be him right?

>>16650624
Yes but Forest Passage needs to be read as well

>>16650573
Absolutely not. When he was young he only cared about living a life of action, not caring who he had to serve for that. That's why he joined the French foreign legion at a time when the relationship between Germany and France was poor.

It's a form of coping from the mental stress of sustained combat. Modern soldiers still do this same shit to this day.
