A Forbidden No Man’s Land

It's stunning the amount of ordnance fired in WW1.....tens of millions of artillery rounds, not to count small arms. A British machine gun company fired a million rounds in one 24hr period with their Vickers guns. What a horrible war, unimaginable carnage and waste and suffering, all for no good reason, ignited by a 19 year old kid with a FN .380.

It is a lesson that needs to be taught in every school world wide.
1. The monetary cost of war.
2. The human cost of war.
3. The legacy cost of war that in this case has endured for 100 years and will probably last another 100+.

I agree also with you.
During the WWI too many people were sent out of their trenches and used like cannon fodder.
