Fly the flags! Rejoice!

Terribulus said something accurate!

He said I would only give him abuse.

Too right, my little armchair hero. Not much point in arguing against patent bollocks.

Perhaps the worm might describe what he means by opponents? It isn't a game you snivelling little cretin. It about standing up to revision and refusing to let the establishment you are the first to complain about get away with making privilege a desirable job attribute. It's about those with no concept of anything outside of their sheltered lives become the automatic leaders on the basis of which King fucked their great great granny. It's pointing out that their incompetence in the field exacerbated the conflict. As Dave said, what happened happened. It's the rationale and how they came to cover all sides in defeat, even those who reckoned they'd won. Counting graves is not a game of winners and losers but diplomatic defeat all round.

Now yer Terribulus says that never happened and that the huge numbers of deaths were planned but worthwhile as a tactic. Although the confused old sod reckons trenches weren't.

If you actually read things instead of cheering on anybody who happens to try and refute those who see you for what you are, you'll see that Terribulus is showing support here for what you whinge on about most.

Here. If your Grandfather thought so much of Haig and fighting for King and Empire, what would he have made of one of his descendants voting to destroy what the Kaiser and Hitler failed to breach?
