King David Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5zT3v3OQBY I just watched a great interview with one of my favorite modern literary forces and have to say he has one upped himself. He challenges a number of misconceptions about our view of the ww1, as well puts our analysis of history under direct scrutiny. His assertions of soldier revenge quests concurs with Stefan's expose of "Killbots". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5zT3v3OQBY Has anybody read the book, I certainly have my curiosity piqued.

J-William Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've never heard of the guy, and certainly haven't read his book. But there is no doubt in my mind that WWI was a massive clusterfuck that set in motion the dominoes that killed millions upon millions of people in the 20th century. You know, people always talk about going back in history and killing Hitler and that sort of thing. I wonder what would result from going back in history and killing Woodrow Wilson (or whoever was necessary to keep America out of the war). I can imagine a peace in Europe that was colored by the massive unnecessary millions killed in a war that barely moved borders a few meters... If that was the result, it would be hard to imagine someone drumming up a war in Europe for glory or revenge ever again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
