Musket, who has posted "bollocks" about the NHS and what exactly was it?
Jim, "your posting the %80 figure was that the soldiers returning went with the conviction you claimed they left with"

No.
I merely said that over 80% came home, which was correct.
Because they survived, many left a record of their thoughts.
The majority continued to believe the war to have been necessary, as you yourself do, and to support their leadership.
Witness the tens of thousands who stood in the streets on that Winter's day when Haig was buried.
