I totally agree, this is a global problem, not just american, or english, or german. What annoys me is the feeling that still lingers on here is the "glorificiation" of war, that it is somehow glorious to go and fight for your country - it's terribly Victorian, and yet it still lingers on.

That being said, I stand amazed that people don't realise that Armistice Day isn't an american invention!!!

I simply can't imagine what it must be to be German and looking back at it, it's beyond my comprehension. Thank you, hun, for being brave enough to comment here.
