In that those who didnt participate, meaning the civilians left at home, especially in the u. S. Where the war didnt come here, so the civilians didnt have a context of this ultimate suffering that the soldiers went through. And so to the people at home who were waiting for their men to come home, they came back. It was a sensationalism in the sense that you guys were heros in the war. Now lets get on with our lives because ive been waiting for you. And i think that that idea of civilians wait iing, it kind of steam rolls soldier memory. The soldiers arent waiting in the same sense that the civilians are. Their experiences are, oh, great, lets move on. Save that title. Steam roller of memory. Someone else had a hand up. Pete . I think i think it says that because at least this is one what im thinking. In world war i, theres nothing sensational about american involvement. You would think americans were god on earth in world war i for saving everyone. In the context of the larger story o
Five niness. Fittingly, we have a pockmarked, shell torn landscape behind the soldiers. Quick, boys, in ecstasy of fumbling. Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time, but someone was still yelling out and stumbling then through the misty panes and thick green light as in a green sea, i saw him drowning in all my dreams he plunges toward me, choking, drowning. If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace if you could hear at every jolt, the blood, gargling from the frost corrupted lungs, my friends, you would not tell with such high zest to children ardent for some great glory. That it is sweet and fitting to die for s country. These are of course the words of wilfred when, written as it was ongoing. Wilfred himself was a junior officer in the british army in the First World War. They are often reprinted words and they show us something about the brutality of war and the experience of war on the front. The totality of war. They also show us something political. In an argument here, e
Are still being fought for today. Just to sum it up, one of the points that dr. Thompson made about the end of the war, the armies were more interested in demobilization, getting people home, and that was reporting about whats going on in the middle east, but it really wasnt much of a concern in this country, but as time went on, after the war, were celebrating, were moving on from the war, it wasnt possible in the middle east, and things were exacerbating and of course getting worse, and now were concerned and its the top news story thats going on. Russia and ukraine, seems to be spinning out of control. Also with these groups during world war i, how did this all start . Trouble between the ukraine and the great russians, the moscowvites start back in the middle ages, but with world war i, in 1918, the germans had conquered a good part of the eastern part of europe and the russians had dropped out of the war with the revolution in 1917. The ukrainians declared themselves a separate re
Disillusioned pessimists. We have created a polarity here between militaryists and disillusioned pessimists. Most of us dont fit in with that. Were in between. Right . He says soldiers were not disenchanted by the war. The war never offered them an enchanting prospect. They were just fed up. He had not wanted war. But he engaged in it. He liked it less than he expected. But he proposed to see it through. If which god forbid similar circumstances arose in 1929, he would do it again. There are no Great Expectations of going into the trenches. No one naively look at the war and thought this is going to be a good time. When they got there, it was pretty terrible. Then he gives us this striking, striking statement of how this doesnt fit in with what hemingway was saying. He says the greater the haorror of battle, the nobler of the man who is not morally ruined by it. If i was a minister and i said that from a pulpit, you would be scared. Right . Natalie. I kind of have a little bit of a pro
