All bullshit designed to make veterans liars Terry
The existence of these executions are based on reports of people who were there - if they were false, they would have been denied long before now.
The authorities have respected the opinions of those who fought (those you claim are fit to be commemorated only by Christians) so much that they first forbade them to keep journals to describe their horrific conditions, then by keeping the ones that were written locked up for a century, because those experiences were as horrific as they were, even now they are available selectively.
A century after this horrific bloodbath, we still have only a partial view of the conditions undergone and the reasons men joined.
Maybe one day we'll get round to discussing honestly the justification for the war unclouded by the jingoistic bullshit.
Why the **** should we accept your one-man campaign - a serial establishment arselicker, a member of the Norman Tebbitt "Get on your Bike Club"
You haven't made your case that these men were liars and gullible morons - try harder!
