[Danzul23]

My Great Grandfather fought at Villers Bretonneux the battlefield that turned the tide of the German Spring offensive. This song makes me imagine the shit he and his mates went through, and the lack of recognition he and his comerades recieve, Lest we Forget.

[skatepunkzero]

@Danzul23 Yea, God Bless your Great Grandfather

[cwood4ever]

America should never have gotten involved in WW1 it was none of our business and it wasn't worth one American boys blood. Europeans started it they should have finished it ALONE.

[LINAZAS]

Trully amazingly , one man who was 16-17 year old who drove ambulances still survives. He is Frank Buckes , now 109 years old , one of the last two surviving veterans

[skatepunkzero]

@LINAZAS Yea it is amazing, God Bless him. Its also sad though that after the two of them die, what happened in this war will be truely forgotten. My generation, doesn't care about what happened. its sad.

[overvald]

I'd guess that the generation that was young during the second world war didn't care much about the american civil war either.

[skatepunkzero]

@Poojaissilly most of it is from here

[DACHRONIKDISTRIBUTER]

my step grand dad was a gunner in a spitfire aircraft in the front lines of WW2 he told me stories before he died about shooting down german aircraft....he had a book with black crosses in it i asked him wots that mean he sed every one of those crosses is a mate who didnt come home.

[skatepunkzero]

@DACHRONIKDISTRIBUTER

thats amazing man, GOD BLESS your Grandfather. Its one of my dreams to be a fighter pilot!

[Tahlykell]

Well done, and yes this song fits any war, any era.

[PeakeysVideos]

this songs about the vietnam not ww1 ??

[skatepunkzero]

@PeakeysVideos Well I made this for a project, but the song can fit anywar from any era. It can even fit modern day or WWII.

[sandstormin]

well done!

[skatepunkzero]

@sandstormin thank you man

[ChriisoX]

no? thats not what I was talking about lol..

[ChriisoX]

Why shoud I research it? It maybe be fake too :P And dont get so angry I was just saying it because allot of things on the internett is fake.

[skatepunkzero]

... so your saying a british military doc could be fake?

[ChriisoX]

lol, on 2:40 , how the hell do you know that? People listen this can also be bullshit! Because it stands on youtube it does not mean its true..

[skatepunkzero]

LETS SEE HOW DO I KNOW THAT, why don't you look up the movie The Battle of the Somme(1916) it says so in their, the movie was made during the war. So maybe before you go saying something is bullshit research it!

[Adawgrussian]

@ChriisoX Dude why are you calling bullshit, it says that in the British WWI Doc, "The Battle of the Somme" your probably calling bullshit for attention.

[ChriisoX]

@Adawgrussian NOT! The education in the early 1900 was poor and that the times was accurate as hell is not true at all, this is ofc. my meaning of it. But you can say wathever you want. And I DO NOT! calling the British WW1 Doc. BS, I Am just saying that the time fo the soldier that got killed was stupid. So I am calling this chat finishd! I am not intersting to starting to argue over this anny longer.

[usmctanks1]

WW1 Generals did not in the early years, realize that "over the top" charges into MG fortified positions was mass murder, some, even at the end, still had not learned it. The lessons of the Civil war (trench warefare, rifled shots etc.) were not learned by the European leaders. Again as in the civil war, the Tactics were far behind the technology, to the death of a generation of men

[skatepunkzero]

you said it man

[Warbirdguy1]
