Horrible war [I Am Interested In Ww1 and Ww2]

The 1914-1918 War was arguably the most horrible of all wars at least in my opinion. If a man was in a an infantry battalion and ordered into an attack, his chances of survival were about 80 to 20 against. Fliers in the RFC had an expected life span of 2 weeks. After 6 weeks they were veterans.
At times, 1 in 4 merchant ships crossing to or from the UK were torpedoes by submarines.
Hellish thing, war.

Nobody wins a war...the victors are murderers as are the vanquished...but the responsible parties meanwhile sit at home in comfort and absolve themselves of all wrongdoing and guilt...

...war is a great evil..

@Mandalorian not sure if 'murderers' applies. All are victims - except the politicians and war profiteers
@RhondasMum innocent people are led to kill by the guilty parties who sit safely at home and wash their hands of all guilt..that is what I'm saying...

@Mandalorian I agree with all of that.
