I showed this to my history class a few weeks ago. It gave them a starkly realistic picture of war but they were also struck by how civilians reacted upon their return. No one wanted to hear about it. Even parents. Then at home we watched All Quiet on the Western Front. The horror was overwhelming. It shook me to the core.

Also, those with power who misuse it and cause the death of the innocent human beings should pay with their own lives.

This is one reason the POTUS should not be allowed to wage war without a declaration of war from Congress. How many people died on all sides or became refugees in the last 20 years for no apparent reason other than to support the war machine and a small group of psychopaths?

You should probably look into the experimental vaccine that was given to American soldiers during that time. If you think the war itself was evidence of callous indifference, you’re only at the beginning of the rabbit hole. “Spanish Flu” wasn’t what they’ve always told us it was.

I have read about one disaster after another this morning, all the jab injuries, the dioxins floating over most of the US and now this. If we didn't think we were at war before, you should know, we are and have been for 3 years.

Dr. McCullough

The brilliant economist Thomas Sowell foreshadowed your admonition in different words: "When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help youraelf, you tell them what they want to hear."

The globalists no longer hide their plans. The transition to "renewable" energy and the capitulation of U.S. sovereignty to the W.H.O. is part of the process of restriction, control and propaganda that will essentially eliminate liberty.

I had an interesting discussion with my 16 yo about the abuses of power as we walked about the buildings of the Supreme Court and Congress on this beautiful Sunday. The 100 year progressive movement and March has brought us to this point where “we the people” has less meaning and power than it once did. Our nation and its constitutional freedoms have eroded so rapidly, it seems we have gone beyond the point of no return. I will retain hope and my prayer is that my 16 yo and others of his generation will stand up and take back the freedoms we have lost, especially over these past 40 years. If not, Lord have mercy upon us all.

My grandfather was a medic in WWII and many great uncles served. My father served in the USAF 1954-1976. My sister served 20 years also with two brother in laws.

We were raised to never trust your government. Ever. It still boggles my mind how many believed during 2020 any of the government actions were meant to “help” us. My family was highly suspect from the start. Many of our relatives have suffered vaccine injury. It’s terribly sad. The government is number one, first in line, always before We the people.

Maybe now Americans realize that more than ever, and we will not fall for their lies again.

If only saying no thanks would work.

It seems, anytime you get a group of people together it's mans instinct to chose a leader. There will always be a charming power hungry narcissist who riles everyone up to fight over resources, use God as an excuse to rape and pillage, divide and conquer. Narcissists adore games where someone else gets hurt. Their followers proceed to push people into volcanoes then jump off a cliff for him.

There will always be opportunists, snake oil salesmen, religious or cult like zealots who want to war with others and silence any who question their authority, stand up to their evil hypocrisy.

Sometimes I feel like we're living in a movie script that cycles over and over like groundhogs day.

No one wants to learn from the past so its bound to repeat.

The soldiers were never meant to win OR survive. These WW were meant to be killing machines just like our Plandemic!

I know some True Warriors who passed this to me…

What does all war cause? Death and destruction with no one really winning…

Do you know how to win a war? Learn how to never start one…

Apparently…US military leaders and experts never learned this in all their fancy war colleges!!!

And if the slaves refuse to fight the wars for them, they will be imprisoned and killed. The government always has its way with our lives.

Of course Australia's moment of glory was supposed to have been at Gallipoli. At school I was taught that our defeat in the Dardanelles was due to the hard fighting of the Turkish infantry - a worthy adversary. Only in adulthood did I discover the true story - the stupendous incompetence at every level of leadership, the unbelievable callousness and disregard of human life.

The result was not the noble scene of armed struggle inspired by great-hearted patriotism of the school history books. No. The result was a vile, pointless slaughterhouse, which saw a generation of the cream of Australia's young men massacred - for nothing except to protect the egos of politicians and army generals.
