When Will We Ever Learn . . .?

Soldatenfriedhof

Military Cemetery (Soldatenfriedhof), Retz, Austria.

The great majority of them died fighting a war that they probably little understood. They were ordered to don a uniform and shoulder a gun. And they did. For love of country. Misguided or not. And they died.

When will we ever learn. . .?
