"So arrogant in you ignorance that you put your knowledge (!) above that of all those professional historians for whom this is their life's work."

If any one of your "historians", publishing their revision of someone else's revision of jingoistic government propagandists revisions, had stood in the trenches with the like of Owen and Sassoon, they might be more credible.

But they get their experience of trench warfare second or third hand and their opinions are barely more acceptable than Shakespeare's Tudor inspired hunchback Richard III.
