The whole war was a senseless tragedy

And we were stupid enough to let Britain drag us into it to save their sorry ass

What would Europe look like today if we had not? What would the world look like today if we had not?

The war was won already, Canadians broke the German back. The world powers that be wanted USA involved so they could kick off their world government. League of nations was born. When it failed, after WW2 obviously came the UN with the same agenda. It’s all orchestrated.

I saw an article were Harry and the Markle creature “celebrated” at the spot where a Tommie had fired the first British shot of the Great War. I find the whole dreary history of the “Great” War not at all great. More a moment and a place to grieve. The aftermath, disastrous.

Whatever was accomplished? At least the Civil War expedited the end of slavery, and World War II saved Western Europe, and rescued, at least temporarily, a great culture. The impact on Asia was probably not too awful. India under Japan would have been a charnel house, China under the Chinese (Mao) was worst off. Ditto North Korea. Sanguinary Japanese imperialism was stanched at least for a century.

There was a saying that “AEF” was an acronym meaning “Allied Expeditionary Force”....others state that AEF actually meant “After England Fails”.

Regardless, England suffered the loss of a generation of her young men. As with our war dead, they deserve to be honored....every day.

We were never going to live with unrestricted submarine warfare

What got us into it was the Zimmerman Letter.
