  No, all these are very good! And they fit perfectly with "anything
involving a battle": do people come to underground shelters for
pleasure? No, it is because there is a battle outside. So it "involves a
battle", but out of the scene. That's perfectly on topic! And it's
brilliant, because it shows the war trough it's social impact, rather
than directly showing the war itself, which can be somewhat
"impersonal".
