Thank you for this post, Steve. The institutions of war are with us yet 85 years ago, young men enlisted, did what the political and popular institutions said was honourable and proper, and were executed when caught in the horrors of reality. Think of how much the reality of machine guns, airplanes, and mustard gas differed from the "reality" proclaimed by institutions of politician, solidiers, media (it is brave and honorable to die for your country. The best way to fight is to climb out of the trench and march, side by side, across the a field just as we did in 1785 . . .) The real horror is caused by instutions - the politicians, the military, the media. The real heroes are the real people. Thank you for sharing these stories with us. Peaceful change is the goal.
