Hi Ms. McGonigles Class.

[worldgoingtozero]

Hundreds of thousands of men die and we have the gall to use the word "victory". Fine young men (on both sides) that could produce and add value to the society are sent to meet grinders called Verdun, Somme and Ypres. Gross...

@goodcomps - same as the credit cycle. how depressing.

@worldgoingtozero and that was the point the world made at the end of the first world war, thus calling it "The War to End all Wars", yet sadly human pride and arrogance needs to repeat the same lesson over and over. The problem is people only live 70 to 80 years and then living memory is lost on the younger generations, thus people forget the horrors of war and the senseless destruction is causes - and the cycle repeats itself...

-at a gun shop you can buy a french ww2 army rifle, the description says "never fired, just dropped once"^^

@gopconservative78 Nice logic BTW. If 1 fails it means that French leaders are really good. when 2 fails it means that Americans can't fight. so 3 must be, that french leaders are celebrated with there winning troops in Paris, while the Americans are racing to Berlin to Surrender. really nice logic, if you want to troll then do it right smartass!!

[darkshark171]

@gopconservative78 haha nice one, but i'm not French dude, but Dutch. however in your troll comments i've never heard you're country of origin. if you're not a coward that you, always shout about Frenchman, then i would like to hear from you we're you are exactly from? and don't be shy dude, its youtube so you are anonymous anyway. but i've got to admit you're the first educated youtube troll, i haven't seen any spelling or grammar mistakes yet.

[gopconservative78]

@darkshark171 Don't you know your French rules of warfare?

1) can't be led by a Frenchman

2) Americans do all the fighting (de Gualle syndrome)

3) When 1 and 2 fail....race to Berlin and surrender to Germany

[darkshark171]

@gopconservative78 you're despicable really do you have no other thing to do, in you're pointless life (if you have one at least). then to shout these stupid comments. BTW i've got a nice fact for you: France never surrendered during WW2 but signed a armistice. so be a bit creative and come up with something else then these annoying insults.

[gopconservative78]

ah the cheese eating surrender monkeys.....

@VitalMusic217 I think the answer is trucks. The armies would outrun their supplies which reached the front by train and the tracks only went as far as the forward positions at the beginning of the attack. Horse draw wagons and the small trucks of WW1 just couldn't carry enough and were not up to the job anyway.
