Every war should be a lesson to all of us and that includes the leaders but it will never change, tribal warfare is the major occupation of the human race and always will be, the nature of the beast i'm afraid, slightly evolved apes. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but just maybe these guys paid the price that will click the Human races mind into shape sometime in the very distant future.Hopefully sooner but i don't hold out much hope. Sad but true. Peace for fucks sake!!!

@MrJacko66 On the one hand you say soldiers do not represent humans, yet you then contradict yourself by saying that generals use "poor kids" to fight battles. Those poor kids are humans. They were just like all of us - normal people thrown into a war they probably didn't really understand. For the record, nobody in Britain "thrived" on World War One - it was little short of a disaster for everyone - from the ruling classes down to the working classes.

Somme.

A word that still haunts evry englishman and resonates through history.

It sums up the futilty and stupidity of war in one word.

@MrJacko66 surely you could say that soldiers represent humans at their most base level - killing.

And sometimes, although war is always a sin, it is a necessary one, if you are faced with an enemy that seeks your destruction, you have to fight, or be killed.

@borisncfc100 Sadly engineers,cooks,doctors,nurses all get killed on active service. I know u say u won't necessarily be safe but you'd be a lot safer doing your NVQ & HND at college.

War is at once a natural human condition with unnatural effects on the human psyche.
