The Christmas Truce of 1914 Friday 25 December 2009 by: Paul J. Magnarella, t r u t h o u t | Report
(excerpt) Periodically, the aristocratic generals (safely lodged in the rear) ordered the mostly lower-class men in the trenches to make suicidal frontal assaults on enemy trenches. Machine guns and rapid fire rifles simply mowed down attacking men in no man's land, where their bodies often remained for weeks in a decaying state. The generals never devised a sensible plan to break the cruel stalemate that trench warfare became. http://www.truthout.org/122409Magnarella +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Share this piece with the big heads and butt heads you know in the Indianpolitical Establishment, police -- their sons, secretaries--chiefs or cannibals, AND SO FORTH.
