But this natural war frenzy was carefully suppressed from the very beginning The important matter in any war is winning. Therefore any amount of damage to self pride is worth the effort. Pride built in the face of adversity needs no "sustainment" My nation fought WW1. Amongst all the terribleness history tells us, they don't tell you about the survivors. I was taught wood work by a teacher who was a sergeant major in WW1. He would give us 11 yr olds plenty of room to misbehave, but his shout would bring us around, I remember several kids had to go home for a change in underclothing. He still had all his fingers and thumbs after 40 yrs in the timber trade, I had no qualms working a 10 horse saw bench under his direction. I can never pass a wooden propeller in a museum without taking a real careful look at it. -g- My history teacher was a rear turret gunner on Lancasters in WW2. Some old soldier taught me to shoot a rifle with both eyes open. He taught me how to shoot straight too. I think I am one lucky guy.
