My Grandad fought at the Somme, I asked him once if he knew any Heros in the Great War. He thought for a moment then said, "Yes, One, he was a conscientious objector, they beat him up badly, but he still said, No!"

But we are also breeding so fast there will be no space on Earth left, wars do have their uses.

I feel really bad for the guy who had to sell his Victoria cross to make ends meet. And for all veterans who had to do the same thing.

Read a book called .."War is a Racket." by a WW1 veteran Smedley D. Butler U.S. Marine Major General.

After teaching military history for three decades, I often grow mournful studying the ways our species kills each other.
Carl Sagan:
Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. Consider again that 'dot', that's here, that's home, that's us. The earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood, spilled by all those generals and emperors, so that in glory and triumph they can become the momentary masters...
...of a fraction
...of a dot.

@Biertourist
I understand your comment, my great grandfather died on the somme to german shell fire.
After the battle, the allies had gained quite a considerable amount of land and if this battle had never happened, it would have taken longer for the allies to improve tactics and tank tactics.
