to think as earlie as 15 some lads joined this war they are brave not like lads today these lad were men from the day they were born

[frostythesn0wman]

Wow those men were brave, I don't know if I could keep my sanity if I was in a trench filled with mud, and the dead with the cold everywhere.

@frostythesn0wman Many who went into the trenches didn't keep their sanity, of course. It was a nightmare that even a hundred years of further horrors have not erased from the world's mind.

[Hellbat308]

yes! it's very brave to stop thinking and just follow commands. and its brave to kill civilians for mineral resources.

damn how i hate words like "brave", "honour", "pride"....

@Littlefoot3559 Its what they had at the time.

how is this shitty music going to motivate anyone to fight? i fell asleep while hearing this!!

[ThelandiaSherbrook]

@elvetankage These men were most certainly brave.... The governments used brainwashing sensationalism, posters set up everywhere detailing the excitments and adventures of war...like it was a game. They were so emotionally charged with patriotism and the supposed exotic excitment of war that the fact that they may die seemed impossible. Most soldiers beleived the war would have been over by christmas.People these days have a choice, which i respect. People who dont go to war are not cowards.

@elvetankage true but kids these days are spoiled
