What they learned is that War is Hell.
But what they also learned is that appeasement never works against an aggressor bent on conquest.
And in the end, if you do not fight for freedom, you will not have freedom.
Adolf Hitler was a mad and cruel dictator who had to be stopped.
The key is for the citizens in such societies to not allow such people to attain power.
This is why the 2nd Amendment (The Right to Bear Arms) in the U.S. Constitution is so important because it empowers the people to rise up against oppressive government. Until humankind evolves to a higher level of consciousness, peace through strength is the only alternative because aggressors who perceive weakness will always subjugate those who are weak.
And they mean it.
Excellent captured scenes Mike even if filled with sadness.
Very often old man's grieves or power struggles being solved by sending young men into battle killing each other ...
I totally agree with your intro. What did we learn? We appear to have short memories. WWI was originally given the title "The War to End All Wars"
21 years later, we were back at it.
