I grew up reading all kinds of war memoirs in the family library, that’s probably what made the whole ‘redpilling’ process so nauseating for me. All that suffering, noble hearted and optimistic, was for nothing.
Even reading about WWI just fills me with a sense of unease, because I can’t help but think about how much better off we’d be with those men’s blood still among us. We had two back to back purges of the best the burgeoning american genome had to offer. I like the machines and all, but damn it’s hard to read the things they said.
The other day I was going to clip out some stories of an audio memoir someone sent me, of the germans in allied captivity happy as a clam and paling around with their former foes days after the war.

I never really put myself in the trenches or air over those places just kind of knew it happened. If you like war hx come alive with tons of facts and research shaara is the guy.
I particularly recommend this one
Civil War stuff is amazing too -
GabeLakmann (gabelakmann@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Wednesday, 18-Oct-2023 09:17:53 JST GabeLakmann Thanks for the recommendation. I have so many things I want to read and can't find time but that's one I'm going to add to the list.
The Red Baron was awesome and I've been wanting to learn more about WW1 since it is so interconnected to WW2. -
Jonaschuzzlewit (jonaschuzzlewit@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Wednesday, 18-Oct-2023 09:24:07 JST Jonaschuzzlewit I understand. I see it as noble warrior men. The kind that we wish still existed... I understand the evil that sent them both to their deaths... I like how it shows that both sides were in effect good.. Hell back when people fought just because...
I see it as a source of strength and seek to reclaim that in my blood.
I definitely understand ur view... But I see it as a tribute to individual warriors not an endorsement of kikery..
Also teaches us what Dad has said.. Britain is not our friend... Sorry Dan 😂Woggy's Zeonic Frolicks likes this. -

Most of mine were kids during the war, though we lost plenty in each war that followed. Korea, vietnam, and a few vets for iraq 1 and 2. Sucks to be the one to break that chain, but hey
