"These can be seen in context by using the links I provided, and they are quite unequivocal."
Then explain here references to "fear" and "propaganda"
As I said, if people were persuaded it was a cause then i
it was a horrifically unjust cause - explain that
The Paxman programme spent a great deal of time on the recruiting methods used , the deception, the bullying the emotional blackmail that took place and the fact that this noble cause was so important to the people, after 18 months it collapsed and enforced conscription was introduced - if the cause was so noble - why did that happen - explain that.
You have studiously avoided the immorality of the war, of the near wiping out of almost an entire generation - is that so unimportant to you?- it obviously is - you "Christians" really curl me up.
In two years and over the space of half-a dozen thread you have refused to respond to any of these points and have clung to out-of context quotes by historians you have not read (but claim you have)
What kind of people are you - you certainly lack a shred of humanity?
