Dave, you said, ""What I find sad in the extreme is that amidst all this sabre rattling there still seems to be no concept of the human tragedy behind the statistics."

Whatever you say now, that clearly refers to this thread, and equally clearly to T and me.
Denying it makes you look deceitful and stupid Dave.

Jim,
You can find no historian who still believes that old shit you cling to.You imagine yourself qualified to reject every history book written for at least tweny years!

You base your views on political dogma not historical evidence.
Unless and until you can find any support for your dogma from people who actually know about WW1, you are exposed as a fraud.
