It was a miracle that occurred on that one day and has seldom been repeated.
Yes, I know the partuculars of the enemy we face now, but I am looking at that event of so many years ago and thinking "wouldn't it be great if mankind could find that dignity once more. The reality is that we more than likely never will. I am as patriotic as the next man, and I love my country as much if not more. I spent 20 YEARS on active duty. But just one day to reflect on a miracle in the midst of a war isn't asking for too much now is it? Perhaps for some here, maybe it is. And that sir, is a sad fact.
That was supposed to be "whole stinking mess"!
I repeat:
It is however, a tribute, that across no man's land they could extend the hand and enjoy a day in the name of Christ.
Merry Christmas!
It was a miracle but a miracle that threatened the control of the elites and the then MSM over the international order. IMO WWI was a disaster from any standpoint and resulted from, among other things, the willingness of the aristocracies to play an elaborate game of chess with millions of lives. This "Truce" threatened their control over the Game.
No. No it isn't. Not at all.
