(This is more for lurkers because I know most FReepers get it.) Unsecure diplomatic messages of the kind created by Hillary Clinton are very serious and can even start wars. One of the main reasons the US entered WW I was the intercept of a German message to Mexico called the Zimmermann telegram. Therein, Germany promised US territory to Mexico if they would join the German side. Research it yourself if necessary.

Good point! I think I’ll steal your idea when discussing the Hillary Clinton emails on more hostile internet fora, especially on Facebook.

This is a huge security breach. Most likely she was hacked at some point because Blumenthal’s email was hacked and her address appeared many times in his email.

This is really bad news.

Even unclassified stuff needs to be guarded. Several unclassified items can be pieced together and may then become classified.

Hillary considers her personal security (including her financial security) to be far more important than the national security of the United States.

WWI (The Hapsburg family feud) is a perfect example of why aristocratic rule really is.

Unfortunately we have the same sort of thing growing today even if not based on bloodlines.

George Zimmerman was causing trouble even then?

American got involved in World War I because the racist Woodrow Wilson wanted to.

We had no business being involved in World War I.

Tells nothing about who he was or his early life, but you can read between the lines for his obvious deep connections to new world order.

We did not, and as far as Im concerned, at the end of WW1, that despicable Woodrow Wilson caused WW2.

It baffles the mind that the Germans believed that Mexico in the midst of a bloody civil war had the means to fight the US.

Interesting read on Arthur Zimmermann. He really enjoyed stirring up trouble. Amazing quote:

He has been called "arguably the most destructive person of the twentieth century."

Not too much business, it was already won anyways. Germans had lost too much. It was nice though to have our southern neighbors come and join some of the fun though.

My old regiment broke several records in that one. First unit to ever be gassed, first to invent the rolling artillery barrage and so forth.

I wouldn’t have wanted to hang out in those muddy trenches though. In a way WWII was civilized compared to the horrors endured in the first one.

I by no means aim to disrespect any WWII vets or anything, just the difference of fighting. They all have my utmost respect and I still weep for their sacrifices and some of them still being around to see what we’ve done with it.
