Why War?


"Late on X-mas Eve 1914, during World War One, men of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) heard German troops in the trenches opposite them singing carols and patriotic songs and saw lanterns and small fir trees along their trenches. Messages began to be shouted between the trenches.

The following day, British and German soldiers met in no man's land and exchanged gifts, took photographs and some played impromptu games of soccer. They also buried casualties and repaired trenches and dugouts." 

This is INSANNNNEEEE!!! One day they are maiming and killing each other. The next, they are exchanging gifts, taking pictures together and playing friendly games of soccer. The next, back to maiming and killing. 

WHYYYYY? Why do people go to war?? Why do the masses listen to the few crazy people who tell them to kill each other?? For what? For some land that they are going to lose again in the next war?? 

CRRRRAZZZYYYY!

And that, sweet friends, is world history in a nutshell. 

[I am not referring to the wars of Israel which are either in defense or Divinely mandated].
