  • Very good with beautiful pictures, esspecially the last song! Been searching youtube for ages for it! Thank you

  • Cool story bro.

  • Beautifully done.....VERY impressed with your remix

  • RedCeltic

    Thanks for the post. Only the second version of "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be A Soldier" I've found. Any others out there?

  • I have been part of Honour Guard, done so many Military Funerals and I was Flag Presentor, it makes feel so much honor, proud , but same time, a bit sadness watching a vet's family crying.

  • If I contrast a cemetery against a very old person which one is propaganda? Death in war should be no more surprising than death in life. "There is no greater love than a man give his life for another".

  • the U.S did nothing in world war one it was europe and canada

  • propaganda is evil

    but it is a neccesary evil

    we need men 2 fight for ther country

  • Who is this 'we' of which you speak? I don't need men to fight for their country!

  • If there were no military, no government, no borders between countries, and no guns would you get off Youtube and go blast at some people on another continent? World peace is attainable, but even if we all decided to abolish all of those things it would take YEARS to locate and destroy all the worlds guns, and make sure EVERY country was on the same page. Imagine a world where we all called EARTH our home. Not America, not Canada, not anywhere else.. there's no way it'll happen in my lifetime..

  • So your saying it's not worth working for?

    You don't destroy guns. You create a world where people don't need to use them so much.

  • FUCK WAR AND IMPERIALISM!

  • RUSSIA< FRANCE< BRITIAN< ARE THE ONE WHO SAVED THE WORLD FROM germany and Hitler, and America also helped by bugging some Germans commanders. That is the reality! America lost only about 200,000 BuT France, Russia, and Britian lost mellions (each one lost mellions)

    ''''''',,,,,COPY AND PAST IF YOUR EDUCATED AND KNOW THE TRUTH''''''',,,,,,,

  • haha@ france was a joke. Nazis used france's wall against Good Guys. france did nothing but "spread those legs".

    USSR had that Russian Winter, which saved Moscow. USSR had so many died because lack of food and Stalin killed so many soviets and blamed some of deaths on the Nazis.

    Britain, did something, but nothing compare to USA. Monty gets the Glory, but Gen. Patton was the man in destroying Nazi's supplies.

  • Give your brain a bloody chance, mate. First of all this is not about who did how much for whom, it is about all of them dying for nothing. Secondly, This is about World War ONE. Hitler was a corporal in the trenches, Stalin was called Iosseb Dschughaschwili and banned to siberia at the time and the USSR did not even exist yet. France lost 1.3million soldiers in WW I and 250'000 in WW II, not exactly a joke, is it?

  • Absolutely beautiful, thank you for uploading this.

    Wold war 1, the war that decided the faith of the 20th century as a new age of great european wars..I hope Europe will be spared of wars in the 21st century..

    Greetings from Belgium

  • Great video - well made.

    Isn't glad that it was the "last" war like they' 'promised' to and military industrialists "wanted" to archieve :D

    End weapon Business,and unite world, and 'You' do not have major wars no more.

  • you should have let just the music play

  • You've got it so right. The war to end all wars and the shit about we'll give you a land fit for heroes, when all we still have is a land where they still crap all over us, treat us like dogs, and send our children off to fight their dirty wars while they make a big fat profit.

  • i am a soldier this is nowhere near what it looks like on the ground over there trust me i will not a ny of this happen to another of my brothers and sisters when i deploy u can believe that that is how i am

  • Tony Blair at 4:45

  • An excellent presentation. War should always be the last resort for resolving problems. However, a review of history indicates that it is the common denominator of the ages. Today, I fear for the future while regarding the threats of heartless nihilists garbed in religious cloth.

  • Very well done. I've struggled with a slide show myself so I know how much work this took. If it reaches a few people it will have been worth it. aloha :)

  • my grandmother sang 'over there' and 'i didn't raise my boy to be a soldier' nearly every day to my sister and i when we were growing up. my grandfather worked at Marconey's in Manhattan , so he kept all the old records of that time.

  • Great footage thanks for uploading.

  • we must end war befor it ends us

  • My mother's family are from a working-class Liverpool background. Not one male member of her family aged between 16 and 50 survived world war one. What a waste.

  • Thanks for a powerful montage. It rings a strue today as then, except we have less excuse. This ought to be required in every high school history class..

  • Yeah, but today the textbooks we get support war.

  • LOL. America all supports wars( exept the people)

  • While there is a lower class, I am in it.

    While there is a criminal element, I am of it.

    While there is a soul in prison, I am not free.

    --Eugene V. Debs, Socialist Candidate for President (since Debs is brought up in the info, I thought I'd bring up my favorite quote. A soldier in an unjust war could certainly be seen as a soul in prison.)

  • One of my favorites as well, I believe he said that at the trial. The first world war was such a brutal meat grinder, long before the United States entered the war. I heard that when the Generals came to the UK Prime minister saying they needed more troops, he sat down and cried.

  • Know who was the Prime Minister then?

    A friend had this quote tagged onto his e-mail to me:

    > "You may not be interested in war, but war >is interested in you" --Leon Trotski

    I don't know if Trotsky really said that but I guess it's another way of saying that that the people never want war is besides the point with the misleaders.

  • Great quote. Well as for the UK PM...don't take that as a fact. My father told me that he read that about David Lloyd George. I doubt he remembers where.

  • OOPs... just recalled.. it was my Grandfather that told my father that about David Lloyd George. So, there's no telling if it was some urban legend of the day, or what. I haven't read of it myself anyway. Regardless if that story was real or not, I imagine it would have been hard for anyone to order more people into what they knew to be an inhumane slaughter. But still, they continued... poison gas and all that rot.

  • Actually the quote was "you may not be interested in strategy, but strategy is interested in you"

  • ThanX, that is substantially different, young X,

    did you quit or give up on something already?

  • What do you mean? im just correcting the wrongfully cited quote. Im doing you a favor. You dont want to look misinformed in the future saying the wrong thing do you?

  • I thanked you for the correction and I had mentioned that I wasn't certain about the quote passed on to me (by a non-Trtoskyist.) It's your name I was intrigued by, being an ex-proletariat at the age stated on your profile.

  • Here's perhaps a similar one:

    "Not believing in force is the same as not believing in gravity." - Leon Trotsky

  • Thanks for pointing me this way. Very good video, especially considering it's nearly Remembrance Day (Sunday 11th Nov) in the UK.

    Good music too, "Slave march" (tchaikovsky?)

  • Yeah, that's Marche Slave by Tchaikovsky at the begining. In the United States, Rememberance day is known as Veterans day. (Same date Nov. 11) yet I think it takes on a more pro-war feeling than your rememberance day. At least it feels that way to me when right wing vet groups like the Veterans of Foreign Wars who sell paper poppies at the market. Maybe I'm too cynical, but as an anti-war vet myself I have alot of resentment to the VFW.

  • Where/when did you fight?

  • Well, wouldn't exactly say "fight"... but I was in the US Navy, on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71) which took part in flight maneuvers over Iraq (post gulf war) and was in the Adriatic in 1995 at the onset of Nato forces getting involved in war in Bosnia. So, unlike other "anti-war vets" my position isn't actually based on personal combat experience.

  • I see. Still, you did serve you country right?

  • You pontificate about the immorality of war yet ignore the millions of people killed because of socialist programs; the Holdomor, the Kulaks, the Great Leap Forward to name a few.

    Between 2.6 million and 10 million Ukranians died in one year alone because of collectivisation, so save your moral indignation.

  • The most useless and unnecessary war of all time.

  • Yes! Few things can quite top this misery.

  • But strangle so important.
