I still cry whenever I watch this film, few films sum up the futility of war better. The decisions of idiotic pompous tools who decide to send young men to their slaughter is never ending unfortunately !
Hear, hear. Unfortunately, you are absolutely right. Of course there are exemptions, e.g. if you're a son/daughter of a politician. Absolutely gut-wrenching when you watch and listen to families, mothers reading out the letters of their dead sons. So disgusted at "leaders" who use war as a first resort, blinding their own people with false rhetoric in order to gain more power and/or wealth. Worse than scum.
From the sublime to the ridiculous. https://ok.ru/video/34054212266 Sorry. Couldn't get it on You Tube.
