Dispatches On War (Part IV)

Feroz:
Continuing with excellence in this series.

A couple of points: The soldiers who died in the first world war played a crucial role in establishing a national identity for Canada. Secondly, I think that the negative attitude about the war that you describe after the Great War was perhaps mostly a British phenomenon. It didn`t stop Hitler to whip up the war fever within the same generation of Germans. French probably developed such aversion after the Napoleonic disaster in Russia. Russians and Germans did so after the second world war. The Americans did so, or so we thought, after the Vietnam war. Indians and Pakistanis still have to develop this aversion.

men are naïve
when the clouds rain
then they begin
to yearn for times
they whiled away
