QUOTE(robertngo @ Apr 28 2014, 11:44 AM) the general and top political leader did want a short war, they did not imagine it will get so big and kill so many. kinda remind me of a quote by Baldrick from Blackadder "I heard the war started when Archie Duke shot an ostrich because he was hungry"need to remember that in WW1 many of these top general and politician have son that die or seriously injured in the fighting. the upper class are all expected to be officer in war.  |
