      true. however it is also important to consider the circumstances of some families who in-return were otherwise abused or became victims of broken and disoriented men who came back from war and took their trauma out on their families. it's a very complicated 3-dimensional problem. while I think war trauma, which has notoriously been misunderstood, or otherwise dismissed, should absolutely be more talked about, as well as the soldiers that suffered it, we should also talk about why the soldiers that lived, and the problems that they faced were ignored. it could've been the bad memories and pain other family members were unjustly put through, and/or toxic masculinity principles and values that unfortunately still persist in modern society.

      If they did appreciate history, they would know the sacrifices that were made. How they were made. Why they were made. The price they came with. The world would be in a different place. They do not understand it. All we can do is hold this to our hearts and minds and bring fourth this events and many others like its importance to our kids and the next after that because history is necessary. It is a requirement for us to learn it so we can grow as a species. I love history. It’s a Time Machine to previous times. It is a gateway to see errors and correct them. It is a way to improve. History is not just text books but also us. We are history. We look back on our personal history to see what we can improve on. History is us. And those who don’t learn it don’t learn themselves.

    One of the many stories about when they where shooting the Band of Brothers series is where the ACTUAL Dick Winters goes down to the film site. From what was recalled by the actors he stopped by and opened the flap on the back of one of the trucks then went "pale as a sheet" when he saw them inside. He left without saying anything and never came back afterwards.
    When later questioned about all of it he responded by saying that It was like looking into a truck full of ghosts, seeing the faces of people he haden't seen alive in over 50 years...

      The reason The great war was called the war to end all wars is because we realized how cruel war is. We created chemical weapons, bombs, and automatic weapons that kill hundreds of men in mere seconds. We saw how war affected those in the trenches, unhumane conditions and constant bombings causing the environment to become hell on earth. We created weapons of mass destruction. We even developed planes to dominate the skies, we fought in the sky, the waters, and the ground. We saw how fast men died, and yet... we continue to develop more and more weapons so we can kill each other faster.

    But it ain’t. They say Marines are the Hero’s, and that Pirates are the Villains. But, how many pirates were forced into that life due to the fuck ups from someone higher up on the food chain than them.
    And, how many Marines are marines just so that they can kill with impunity! How many wars have been started over something so trivial, but that somehow led to the deaths of tens of thousands, millions, HELL BILLIONS of people!
    The ‘Politicians’ say they know what’s best for us. But what’s best for us, ain’t always best for them. So what do they do son? Well I’ll tell ya what they do. They, warp our sense of self so much, that we think what’s best for them, is best for us, when in reality, that’s not often the case.
    So, before you go off and try to ‘fix’ history to be all sunshine m rainbows. Just remember, that all it takes is a single action to change the tides of history forever.
    Maybe, you don’t take a wrong turn. Maybe, you stop to buy a piece of art made by a failing art student. Maybe, you stop to help that cart person put up carts. Maybe, just maybe, you actually look at History, and not just read it. But let it soak into your skin, like the sun soaks into you on a beach day.
    But just remember son. History, is never, ever, going to change. And it’s your job, as the future of our species, to make sure that it doesn’t change.”

    when i was in middle school me and 1 guy my friend were the only ones who were passioned by history all the others were like " it's the past why should we care" and i hated this response especially since we live in france where history is all around us and just saying that it doesn't matter/shouldn't care about it because it doesn't affect our lives made me really angry

    War is a horrifying thing, it brings out the absolute worst in people. The real primitive animal side that’s been around ever since we’ve been existing as humans. But there are also some of the most amazing stories of hope, kindness, compassion, bravery and sacrifice. That films made about them often miss other actions that were conducted to not make people think it’s unbelievable. There were heroes on both sides. Recently learnt about Walther Wenck, the general of the 12th army during the first battle of Berlin. Wenck was ordered to use his forces to delay the Russian advance, something which would have done nothing. Wenck knowing he would be executed for disobeying orders, decided to hold open a corridor across the river Elbes, this would allow civilians in Berlin to escape towards the western forces and surrender to them. This was obviously better than surrendering to the Russians who by all accounts were absolutely ruthless towards any German. In the end around 250,000 people managed to escape and surrender to western forces. Wenck is also one of the German officers who was not found innocent of not commiting any war crimes during his time in the army. Unknown story here in the west but one example of the light shining through.
