On Armistice Day, we commemorate the end of history's most consequential war, consider the lessons it holds, and recall a final flight as the guns fell silent.
Great phrase; timely and ever applicable: "...recall the Lesson of Sarajevo whenever one of our meddling Caesars encourages us not to mind our own business."
Alas, as our recorded history and our daily news makes clear, we are a vicious species.
I take solace that our inevitable future wars will be fought more by mechanical automatons than by flesh and blood humans.
When the fighting is left to mechanical automatons (we're close, if not already reached this point as Gaza and Ukraine clearly show), the enhanced suffering will still be left to humans made of flesh and blood (and hopes, dreams, plans, etc., etc.) ... 🤢🤢🤢
Many thanks for your today's thoughtful reminder !!!
Shouldn't we all be so thankful to the powers that nearly always finance both belligerent sides, now again, work so hard on a daily basis just to provide us, the plebes, with an almost endless supply of future "Armistice Days" ??? ...
