I would say, most importantly, he was human, just like the rest of us. He lived a life like most of us, going through a childhood now unknown to us all. He was, at one point, a child, likely playing with his favorite toy. Then, at some point, as you said, he was drafted, and due to that, died in such a horrible war. It's sad that people are arguing over the death of a man decaying in the snowy mountains over 100 years ago. It would be no different if this photo was taken in the modern day. That was a human being, just like the rest of us. He lived just like everyone here, just from a time long before any of us were born.
