What a nasty war. Sitting in a muddy trench, getting shelled for days on end. Wondering if you're going to survive the shelling, only to die from chemical warfare, or running into no mans land to secure an extra 10 feet of land. "When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die"

| Peter Jackson produced a really good documentary using colourised and "enhanced" footage from the war. Narrated by soldiers themselves. They shall not grow old. Thoroughly recommend it. |

From casual observation, I believe "The Great War" means so much more to Commonwealth nations than the United States. I don't know why. Is it as simple as 2-3 decades of American economic dominance resulting from WWII overshadowing WWI? -------------

We had a lot less invested in WWI. We came to the party late, didn't witness the carnage first-hand publicly, and then had the Spanish influenza crisis to cap everything off. We lost a lot fewer people per-capita than the commonwealth countries did in the war. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |
