As someone who started off with the perspective that WW1 was a crime against humanity perpetrated by power hungry combatants, tempered by the opinions of my paternal grandfather who deeply respected General Haig as a man of principle, this and the other thread has convinced me that my perspective was wrong and my grandfather who served with the Black Watch in France, was correct
Access to new information from abroad has shown the work of the pre 1970s "revisionists" outdated and badly ideologically skewed.

In common with many of the "soft lefts" social ideas it appears to be based on mythology.....a mythology written and espoused by fellow travellers with a political agenda.
This mythology is extremely insidious and has now enveloped all facets of society....Perhaps the time has come for a large injection of reality into our social system we have been sleepwalking into a "neverland" where responsibility for EVERYTHING can simply be passed down the line until it disappears.

Our grandparents were faced with the choice of defeat or victory, a choice that we will never make because we will always find someone to blame whilst they measure us for our shackles.

Nothing of any substance has ever been accomplished without sacrifice...ask the Russian people who survived WW2......and at some point there is nothing left to do but fight or die.
