I think we all know why you spout out lies here, You love disrespecting the dead. You do indeed love death don't you, admit it you feel nothing for your follow humans. I read in the Bible once that those who love death, Love Satan, Now we've already found out you honour the work of fuller, An associate of a person whom called himself the beast 666. I think we all know you get some sort of sick satisfaction by posting this garbage, Goes to show how sad you are.

They fought valiantly alongside indians, pakistanis, west indians and even Irishmen, What point are you trying to make? Are you admitting that you are racist like Fuller? If so, I do really do feel very sorry for you. I think you need to check into one of those clinics for mental degeneration.

"Fuller was no gentleman",, But I suppose Haig was the salt of the earth huh?

Your Forefathers weren't "glorious". They were a bunch of misguided and manipulated dupes. The war was a diaster for Britain. What would those guys who went over the top in 1916 say if they could see London today? They probably wouldn't even recognize England now. Enjoy your sad, little, ethnic-swamped island friend.

Fuller was no Gentleman, A ravaged nazi and a believer in Satanism, What creditability do we owe him? To me you sound like a communists and have such a lack of human emotion. You come onto this video which has nothing to do with you and talk a load of bullshit and disrespect our Glorious Forefathers. You have a big problem and need some mental help to get over it, I think.

Those same nobles who sent their only sons to fight in the war? You know how many people died in this war that attained our prime universities? You think that it was just lower and middle classed people in this war, You are wrong, There was class in the war, All was treated with the same brush. As for slums, In 1914 living conditions where not as bad as you might think. People had money in their pockets, enough to visit the pub and the match every week. You know fuck all about British life.

Britain was just pursuing its traditional strategy for its various coalition wars, I.E. fighting on the cheap. The British elites, (the top 2% of British society controlling 98% of its wealth while the British people were crammed into the worst slums in Europe,) comfortable on their Victorian estates, didn't realize that this war would be very different indeed.

ONLY ON PAPER. In reality the Empire had been fatally undermined by the war. Irreparable damage had been done to the British economy by the costs of the war and its postion as world banker was replaced by the USA (to say nothing of the human costs). The colonies also lost a lot of their enthusiasm for Britain after the full realization of the wars cost sank in. May I suggest you read Major-General J.F.C. Fuller's works.

I suppose you believe like many others of that day, That if France and Germany had huge Armies neither would ever fight eachother? But you just told me that Arms Race's means nothing? And twist it back to Britain for starting the war? Yeah lets start a war with Germany when we only have 250,000 regular soldiers covering the hole of the empire!! That ready for war was Britain that it took 2 years of warfare to build up our force to actually take the war to Germany!! Yeah, Whatever dummy!!
