Adieu la vie, adieu l'amour,

Adieu toutes les femmes.

C'est bien fini, c'est pour toujours,

De cette guerre infâme.

C'est à Craonne, sur le plateau,

Qu'on doit laisser sa peau

Car nous sommes tous condamnés

C'est nous les sacrifiés !

[jagorev]

WWI = Meaningless slaughter...

[Scotty7617]

Actually, WWI was a war with no purpose. Because of the alliance system in Europe, a small issue between Austria-Hungary and Serbia dragged the whole continent into war needlessly. The alliance system was why Germany went to war with France needlessly andinvaded Belgium needlessly.

Plus, it was the victorious nations' actions after WWI that led to the rise of Nazi Germany and WWII.

Dans les plaines de Flandre, les coquelicots Sont parsemés de lot en lot Auprès des croix et dans l'espace Les alouettes devenues lasses Mêlent leurs chants au sifflement Des obusiers. Nous sommes morts, Nous qui songions la veille encor' À nos parents, à nos amis, C'est nous qui reposons ici, Dans les plaines de Flandre.

Unbelievable horror. Mankind is a pestilence, a disease upon this earth. Always have been, always will be. Death & destruction. I have a nickel on Satan.

Two years ago, Harry Patch died. He was the last infantry solider alive that had fought in the trenches and mud of WWI. Earlier this year, Claude Stanley Choules of the Australian navy died. The last known man to have been in active service.

Since it started in England in 1919, this will be the FIRST ever Remembrance day that has NO surviving WWI veterans still alive anywhere. Of all the millions who put on a uniform and went to that war almost 100 years ago, the last one has finally fallen.

WWI was grown men acting like spoilt rotten children. The Triple Alliance was just waiting on an excuse to start a war and they got it when Archduke Ferdinand got assainated. Austria didn`t even care about him but hey he was their heir and a good excuse to bully serbia. Germany took that opportunity to attack france like the dicks they were, and everyone got dragged in.. germany were the dicks of the 20th century.. they left their descedndant with a shameful history

Depends on how you define "work". If you mean, solving all problems, no wars don't work.

But that doesn't mean some wars won't be necessary
