You go a great voice and I am pleased you are not using to attack but to give us all a chance to be readers. I am working around the house with my £5 uproar Bluetooth headphones that have really given me service as compared to a few others that did not work quite so well. History is so sad and each one of us is a descendant of this past. Krishnamurti's talks on human and violence and how to attempt to conquer this coldness is really worth looking at. Our children should never have to experience this tragedy of the human race.

The forward by Mr Gibb is a great appeal to future generations to grow into what would be the civilised societies and world that we have always believed humanity was progressing towards just hasn't quite yet got it. The big problem with that is that it completely disregards the nature of any Alpha or dominate species. To attain that alpha pinnacle where you're master of your ecosystem by its very nature requires violence and a violent nature or instinct, it's just the way it is. Also human beings are traveling hap as well from or very first days survival on earth. As such those types of tribal instincts were carved indelibly into the deepest, most hidden parts of our beings, faithfully passed without our ever being aware of their existence, into generation influencing our daily lives thoughts and even how and what we think to this very day. That's how powerful instincts are and can be. It takes many hundreds of years to change instincts or eradicate ones now useless or even harmful or of hindrance to us in modern times, if it's possible at all. These deep instincts of a tribal existence, when being a member of one's tribe meant literal survival and the absolute worst thing possible was being banished, where only those of the same tribe were to be trusted and all others were enemies BECAUSE we they directly threatened your tribes survival as resources prior to the advent of agriculture were scarce and they went to your tribe or the enemies and in some years were the difference between survival and starvation. We see the echoes of these instincts today in the racism that seems defies our every effort to beat completely and nations etc.

My paternal grandfather served in the German Navy during WW1 while his brothers all died serving in the infantry. My mother's dad was gassed while serving in the AEF 109th Reg, 28th Division. They never liked each other- the one always wondering if the other had killed a brother.

I suggest K Krishnamurti's suggestions to our healings as the universe rather than part of the universe. He suggests you and I are the observer and the observed. I hurt because you hurt. Everyone hurts and is fragmented and until we empty ourselves from what misery our descendants were or had to go thru in their time of physical living, our mind that is wounded will never experience innocence. However if you really are looking for some real bite of what man can be, you can read Confessions of an economic hitman, John Perkins and the KZbin channel Illicit history, has a collection for you picking. All the best.

For all the historians who talk about the stone-hearted 'blockheads' that commanded these men, I ask: The (superbly armed and trained) German army is excellently dug in on French and Belgian territory. You have no portable radios or effective air power; how would you have driven them out, by waiting for tanks to be invented?

My grandfather was KOSB 2nd battalion in France from March 1915 to the end. He told me when I was a boy it was his lads and comrades that worked together and "saw each other through" He told me they "were young lions led by donkeys". He also mentioned the way the trenches were set up the germans were familiars with their mannerisms as he was sure he and his lads were recognized and familiars from a distance. Some germans were killed in night raids to retaliate for the killing of his lads from an earlier battle and the germans did the same. It was brutal on the night raids using no rifles only trench weapons.

After yrs of begging Australian General Monash finally got full control of Australian troops. This saw an immediate drop on the death toll on Australian soldiers. And no. It wasn't because Australians became less involved. It was because he saw the uselessness of the tactics the Allies have been using through out the war. One of the first things he did was put his long planned tactic, that he had wanted to implement for yrs. Using this tactic twice he virtually ended the war. Causing one field Marshall to state. " We have gone from a position of negotiation to one of surrender" One German officer who witnessed this two battles was Heinz Guderian. Who would go on to copy the tactic during WW2. You might know the tactic as Blitzkrieg

The people of Viet Nam is who got screwed upside down and sideways. Other than being about a war this book has little in common with the war in Viet Nam. The carnage of World War was caused by new weapons from Krupp's big guns to their machine guns, exploding bullets, gas and so much more than there were defenses for.
