11/11/18

I just watched a documentary by Michael Palin (yes, of Monty Python fame). It was NOT a comedy. Rather, Mr. Palin did a documentary on the British Commonwealth personnel killed on November 11th, 1918--the last day of World War I. There were *863* of them. That's for *one* of the allies on *one* side, of *one* day of a war that lasted over 50 months.

I think General Sherman was on to something when he said, "War is hell."
