I'm curious though, wouldn't you agree that there was a tremendous waste of life in the war? That's a criticizm and no one would argue it but,... we weren't there.

Der Grüne Flieger,

If you mean the Great War, absolutly Mate and that comes from both sides of the wire. New methods of killing were developed and utilized and the Great war was its platform to see what worked and what didn't. I.e. the machine gun, tanks, mines, rule of the skys, poison gas, etc.

My grandad use to tell me stories now and then about life in the trenches, particulary when he had had a few - make your hair turn white at a ripe old age of 5.
