To use a cliché, WWI was truly a senseless war. Perhaps the worst lingering effect for the USA is that it gave Puerto Ricans citizenship so that they could be used for cannon fodder. The war is over but the amigos remain.

The carnage was horrible beyond being able to describe it in a couple of sentences. The war's genesis was in the fading inbred 19th century royalty straight from a Duck Soup casting call. They all decided it would be fun to have a war for their amusement. Nothing monumental was at stake. And it was never really over until 1945. Without WWI we would not have had WWII.

The USA should not have been involved in any way. It was a losing proposition from the start.

Max Boot still thinks WWI was just dandy. I’m glad that psycho has come out of the closet.

Germany pretty much runs things with them and the French now hand in hand

I’ll disagree with you on this one. Here’s what ended the war of several wars.

Denazification, cumulative review. Report, 1 April 1947-30 April 1948.

Here Is Germany (1945)

The founding fathers of the U.S.A. sought to bring the best of their cultures with them and leave the worst of those cultures behind. Many other Americans have tried to do the same. That’s what made America great. Many of us have German forefathers, but we are Americans. And many of us continue to believe and pray.
