The whole thing just made no sense.
The 1871-1914 time is kinda like the Cold War... just with a crazy maniac and Generals who thought it would be a piece of cake.
I agree. I pity them, AND I think their courage and their perseverence were remarkable. That is the frustrating thing about reading about World War 1. It's almost unbearable to read about. The Somme! Horrible. But I do admire their courage.
