RE: Audie Murphy: Battle of the Colmar Pocket
Cheers for the history lesson. I've not read up too much on those battles. I think Audie's name sounded familiar, but that may be from his acting roles. He did a lot of that until his early death in a plane crash. War is a horrible thing and it's terrible that it is still going on in Ukraine and elsewhere. It stills seems to be about sending in young men to do the dirty work, but now drones are doing a lot of that so combat is different. We need to learn from history.

I remember the Wilfred Owens poem.
The old soldiers lie.
My brother in law was in the Welsh Guards during the Falklands War.
Seeing all his mates blown to bits and burning changed him completely.
He used to be Army Barmy. That war changed his attitude.
Every generation seems to forget the horror of war and are to eager to start fighting until reality hits them.
How many films have been made about PTSD. Will we ever learn?
Ukraine is a disaster for all involved.
