They should have all flipped their commamders off and went home, dashing the globalists first world war to kill off millions of european men.

If no one shows up for a globalist war, will the officers and political leaders fight instead? Hell no they won’t. They won’t willingly go imto the grinder.

WW I started in August 1914. The First Battle of the Marne took place 6–12 September, 1914. French and British troops forced a German retreat by exploiting a gap which appeared between the 1st and 2nd Armies, ending the German advance into France. The German Army then retreated north of the Aisne and dug in there, establishing the beginnings of a static western front that was to last for the next three years.

The Christmas Truce occurred just three months after the start of the trench warfare. The men were already so fed up with fighting, cold, miserable, wet, muddy and diseased conditions that they essentially told their officers “Forget it” and held the impromptu truce. Little did they know that the war would slog on another four years.
