Thread Name: BS: Armistice Day (debate)
Subject: RE: BS: Armistice Day (debate)
Bollocks is no response - it is simply a denial of a single point I made
You have the evidence from accredited sources
You have yet to respond to the facts of Belgian colonialsm and the hypocrisy of using "gallant little Belgium" as an excuse for the slaughter of millions
You have yet to respond to the fact that it was an Imperial war (despite the fact that the War Museum in London is named after it.
You have yet to respond to the documented evidence of the recruitment campaign (maybe the posters, songs, and jingoistic articles are all fakes - waddya think?)
You have yet to even respond to the eye witness evidence we recorded.
You have responded to nothing whatever other than to deny history (nothing new there)
Your entire argument is based on a few cut-'n-pastes from review of a book by a military journalist which you have not read, nor intend to
That's two - one more go and your out
