Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day (debate)
At the risk of sounding radical, you could always form your own view rather than find comfort in trawling for those that fit your preconceptions?

Just a thought. ..

After all, the odd afternoon in the various war museums to escape the pissing it down outside does allow you to get a perspective without having someone provide a ready made commentary for you to follow.

Watching the many documentaries from time to time or reading accounts, both historical and even fictional set in the time, it is hard not to see the merit in questioning the historians who would wear their nationalism on their sleeves.

Equally, it is clear to see who may grasp at nationalism for comfort.
