Jim, you said, "Nobody, certainly not me, has ever denied the necessity to fight"

So there was no necessity to dupe the people and lie about the necessity to fight.
Who is supposed to have lied anyway if not the government?

You have shown stupidity and an ignorance of basic facts.
You watched the programmes and saw things that were not there and were untrue.
Wrong sized shells.
Kitchener's sacking.
Kitchener's resignation.
The execution of objectors.

You know nothing, and can not see the truth when it is put in front of you.
You think you know more about History than historians and actually rubbish military historians as if you are a military expert too.

Do you have any contribution to make to this debate at all?
