The economics of war! Wealth connected elite send others into battle for their own vested interests. War is hell for almost everyone, except the instigators who sit far from the front in their secure estates and palaces. Tennyson had it so right: "When shall all men's good, be each man's rule...." The original teachings did hang on two Commandments...#1 Love the Creator who made all life and #2 Acknowledge, Honor AND Love His Works...all LIFE! MATT 22:35-40.

Thank you for this remarkable article built from bricks of truth. This story reveals yet another area where offishul history and education have lied to us, in order to keep the cannon fodder, and the obscene blood monies, flowing.
