Let’s just say everyone was a victim of overweening familial protocols of the very powerful rulers.

After all - why is anyone involved in this travesty outside Austria-Hungary and a few Serbs? Think about it. This war was asinine, and honestly no regular WWI soldier should have so much venom directed at him.

Anyone ever hear of the 1914 Christmas celebration? Before you harshly deride the German “enemies”, learn a bit about this affair, not to mention the whole damned war.

I agree with you that the war was asinine, and shouldn't have happened.

And I wasn't deriding the German soldiers. I was being supportive of rendering them due military honors.

But anyone we fight against is a bastard. English in 1776, Mexico in 1846, Germans in 1918, and again in 1941. &ct... ;)
