I remember the Wilfred Owens poem.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. In English. "it is sweet and proper to die for one's country"

The old soldiers lie.

My brother in law was in the Welsh Guards during the Falklands War.
Seeing all his mates blown to bits and burning changed him completely.

He used to be Army Barmy. That war changed his attitude.

Every generation seems to forget the horror of war and are to eager to start fighting until reality hits them.
How many films have been made about PTSD. Will we ever learn?

Ukraine is a disaster for all involved.
