"Your views have been discredited for decades."
Where - show us you historians who say that the soldiers weren't tricked into joining and they entered the war willingly
Paxman showed all the tricks and inducements - the crook who ran the recruiting campaigns - ther "gallant little Belgium posters, the unemployment and the offers of "adventure" - the voluntary enlistment turning into enforced recruitment, the white feathers, the disillusionment of the soldiers on leave, the fact that everybody at home appeared to be unaware of the war.....
He covered the miscalculation of The Somme, the Kitchener cock-up, forcing him to resign.....
You have refused to respond to the fact that in order to silence Sassoon's criticism, he was locked in an asylum until he stopped his anti war campaign.
You have denied the statements of the soldiers by calling them liars.....
Where are your "historians" who "discredited" all this Names and statements?       
You claim all this is untrue on the basis of historians you haven't read - where is your evidence.

Please don't say you've produced proof - you have only made claims
