[Captain Kirk]

Started the war? You mean the fact that egged on Austria-Hungary over Serbia, big fricken deal. Austria-Hungary was upset at a long and consistent record of Serbia efforts to create a Greater Serbia. It felt, not without justification, that the Serbians would be creating trouble in Bosnia forever.

If you think bailing out the Serbs justifies the slaughter of an entire generation of Europe (and to some extent) America's brightest, you have little sense of proportion.

“You mean the fact that egged on Austria-Hungary over Serbia, big fricken deal.”

The Austro-Serbian war was not WWI. They are seperate conflicts. WWI doesn’t start until Germany declares war and invades Belgium.

“If you think bailing out the Serbs justifies the slaughter of an entire generation of Europe (and to some extent) America’s brightest, you have little sense of proportion.”

I don’t know what you’re talking about. America did not bail out Serbia. In case you didn’t notice, Germany and Austria were fighting with all of Europe, not just Serbia.
