"Stupidity," a European visitor at Arnhem lectured me, best explains why thousands of young men killed each other for no good reason over "meaningless" bridges.
Perhaps — but I suppose the answer to that also depends on whether in September 1944 you ended up on the German or on the Allied side of Arnhem.BINGO!! We have a winner!

Meaningless bridges?! That remark insults the memory of tens of thousands of Allied Paratroopers who fought, bled and died for those bridges. I am outraged as I'm certain you are, too, Valin.
