I hope this video can soothe the flaring tempers as of late and remind us that war has always been, and has never been pretty.http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube/images/play_thread.png (http://www.apacheclips.com/boards/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=2262)

"Ils ne passeront pas".

37 million artillery shells of all calibers were fired in total by both sides.

Falkenhayn was a douchebag and should have been shot.

"Shell Shock", "Battle Fatigue", "PTSD".
Life long nightmares.
Life long regrets, and feelings of guilt.
Lost marriages. Lost families.
Lost minds.
Lost youth.
May we all finally listen to the voice of God, and come to a way of living with each other, rather than destroying one another.
