Sometimes if he's set his head on a notion it's hard to dislodge it
Look at that statement carefully Kevin.
I used to have the same view of WW1 as you still have.
I read Graves and Sassoon and I still have a volume of Owen, but I also have a recent books. (I would be happy to lend)

I have continued my interest and followed developments in understanding.
Ask yourself why you still think as you do and where you got those views.

Historians are not fashion butterflies flitting from version to version as fashion changes.

You all think you understand history better than historians.
You even believe your understanding of early 20C developments in military strategy is superior to military historians and specialists.

I am not the one with a fixed notion stuck in the head.
My mind has been open these last 30 years and I have moved on.
YOU are all stuck in the past.
