Keith A of Hertford does appear to enjoy being hoist by his own petard. He defends the "masters of war" in a manner that goes some way to explain why simple folk were taken in by the jingoistic propaganda of the government(s) of the day, leading to the awful waste of life that is nowadays somehow celebrated. So long as you are an innocent victim of the winning side. If you were on the losing side, your luck by mere geography makes you evil in the eyes of fools.

Great Britain shall be celebrating going to ear next year. Those of us who find that somewhat odd and distasteful heed look no further than Mr A of Hertford to see why it makes sense to the British government.
