While looking for something completely unrelated, this came up on the right hand margin---now I'm not even sure of the original mission:nono:

WWI had to be one of the most miserable times in history. My uncle, who fought in the trenches, told me revolting stories. One conversation stuck with me, when he recounted there were places in the trenches that were lined with human flesh! He was the oldest son and received a college education at the University of Texas at a time when virtually no one in a small town in Texas had that advantage, then went in the army. The experience ruined him. He was the town drunk and scavenger the rest of his life, although talking to him revealed him as very bright.
No nostalgia here for me looking at these remnants of a dastardly war period. I am not sure I can bring myself to watch the acclaimed new WWI war movie “1917” about The War To End All Wars that did not.
I am unable to watch war movies, but I did not associate that video with war--although the connection is undeniable.Quote:

I worry about the mental health of my SEAL nephews. From everything I can tell things are much "better" for today's soldier. Supply lines are good, our forces are generally better equipped, and the support structure for our boys and girls looks ok? But at times its still combat and things get very real.
As you should.Quote:
