The insane war, 1914-1918........Part 10
This is a small part of Tyn Cot and the sad result of the insane Great War, all about a city of Ypres....
Here are the poor wretches, far away from their native soil and never returning to their homeland, to their wives and children, parents and families. They are the victims of the insanity called war.
The culprits of this deaths are the former rulers of ancient Europe, and their actions are too idiotic for words, as the actual cause of this insanity is unknow to date.
Many people are convinced that this insane war started with the murder of the Austrian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand and his wife in the Bosnian capital Sarajevo.
However, this was not the real cause, it was just the lighting of the fuse in the powder keg called Europe!
The insane war did mark the end of the German Empire, the end of the Russian Czar Empire, the end of the Habsburg Monarchy and the beginning of Communism.
The insane war forced new developments in the fields of psychiatry,and psychology because of the intens suffering of the military due their neurosis of being in constant danger of death and the neurosis Shell Shock.
Because of the horrible mutilations of the survivers, plastic surgery began a huge advance, the technics of which are still used today.
And their comrades who survived this terrible hell, but lost arms or legs, became blind or degenerated into psychiatric patients?
They were no longer looked after and condemned to beggary or abject poverty.
Only the idlers who were their leaders annex butchers received the necessary respect such as the highest decorations, statues, tombs and all kinds of other nonsense.
But what you see are the real heroes rest under a Portland tombstone side by side, row by row, by row, by row, by row.......
As I'm leaving the cemetry I get the urge to scream: "Who is the slayer, who is the victim? Speak!!"
But in a respectful place like this I can't do this................
