I understand that most of these lines are (probably) about the endless repetition of the horrors of war, both through history, and the day to day life of soldiers fighting in them. I feel that these lines; "not one man has and not one woman has revealed the secrets of the world" could eighter mean that they are very, very young and haven't lived their to the fullest yet, but it could also mean that war is a great waste that leads to no revelations, and no real gain for anyone (be it humanity or the soldiers themselves).
