Yes, I'm sure most soldiers on the front were also disappointed at being denied the chance to chop off the hands and feet of children.
Most likely, the truth is that the average soldier in the trenches on November 11, 1918 was war-weary and ready to go home. It was commanders like Truman who caused more needless deaths in the last hours of the war in an attempt to gain a little glory for themselves.
