Subject: RE: BS: Christmas Truce (1914)
I am done with casting pearls before swine.
I used to think like you.
I read Sassoon and Graves and Remarque as a youth and still have Owen on my shelf.
I thought O What A lovely War brilliant.

Unlike all of you, I have continued my reading.
I know that those all myths have been debunked.

You can not find one single living historian to support your views., because your views are discredited.
They all support my views because that is where I got them.

You can call acclaimed and eminent historians "journalists" but who are you?
Empty headed, know nothings.
You can find no intelligent person to support that either!

So you bunch of ignorant twats can keep telling yourselves how clever you are, and how stupid historians are.
I have put the work of the historians before you.
You reject them just because of your prejudice and preconceptions.
Get on with it.
