Subject: RE: BS: Jingoism or Commemoration
Dave, have you read any WW1 history at all?
Anything?

I am saying that millions did die and that historians instead of taking from that

The immense cost in human life is the most salient fact pertaining to that war.
Every historian deals with that fully in their work.
If you had read anything you would know that.

the fact the war was unjustifiable, focus instead on trivia.
Except that they do not.
If you had read anything you might know that too.

WW2 was comparable in cost.

All the mainstream media including BBC call Hastings a leading historian.
Go into any library or bookshop and you will find his works prominent in the history section.
The other historians acknowledge that he is an historian.
Some bloke called Dave who has read no history at all thinks he is not.
Who are you again Dave?
What is your credibility?
