stupid war
And you didn't have the good guys vs. the bad guys like you did in the Second World War. It was the type of war Europe had been fighting for years (done as a land grab and for regional influence),, except technology reached a point that they could inflict jaw dropping losses in each other.

For those interested in WWI, check out Dan Carlin's Hardcore History series Blueprint for Armageddon He just released the sixth and final episode.
Was just about to post this. I had a pretty solid trivial knowledge of the war before listening but that whole podcast series completely humanized what went on. Makes WWII look like a simple game of Risk; WWI almost literally saw an entire generation slowly wiped off the map.

WW2 gets so much coverage, but people have no clue what hell on earth WW1 was. It is insane how unbelievably terrible the conditions were.
Yep, so true...you wonder why it was the "Lost Generation" they were freaking wiped out!
