Sinister book. Has the author interviewed the soldiers?

No, but the author is aware of 16 million dead and 21 million wounded. That is why the author collects swords and not Phosgene canisters.

Well even that didn't work!!! Christmas is over, not that this thread is even about Christmas Eve, as it began. As I mentioned before, what developed here thanks to the insistance in turning the thread into an editorial column is far from what was intended. For me, a lesson learned, even a message well intended can be distorted, which as previously noted, clearly displays the polarities in the spectrum of 'humanity'.
I left this open far too long hoping that good will would prevail. I was wrong,
THANKS
