Excellent article in this week's The Week. Whilst exploring the Xmas Day football activities, it gives an excellent insight into how in subsequent years snipers were brought in who were not normally in those sections to keep the men hating the opposition.

A nice section about propaganda and exaggeration to ensure volunteers.

In fact, hardly a word about the recent revision attempts by many to see the war as just, well led and fruitful.

Boom fucking Boom



Oxford Press eh? And your point?
