I hear boomers talking about it all the time, especially after that Peter Jackson movie.

Restoring all that old footage was a good use of that technology, though

because WWI is he death of the Modern (capital M) period of history, with the end of WWII as the start of the Postmodern history (the Modern era begins somewhere in the mid 1300s but officially comes 100% concretely into existence in 1492 with Columbus journey to the new world)
Angel Murphy
the current historically inept wannabe has just grown board of WWII and is just now learning about WWI. On the history board here for instance posting WWII imagery was banned in the war imagery thread, with people who post it being ridicules
We have turned history into vanity and just another facet to boost ego, WWI is essentially the hipster topic atm although there is nothing wrong with it, really odd attitudes pitting different historical periods and topics against eachother like this is utterly pathetic and bellies the well studied image modern pseudo intellectuals like to present
Grayson Jackson
Imagine having to live for months in stupid half made bunkers and ditches while all the money is spend on weapons. How much clearer can it be, that you are not worth a dime to anyone? War is truly stupid.
Sebastian Taylor
Because it destroyed a almost perfect europe

WW1? Hitler is obsessively spoken about here and broadcast on a dozen networks, all day, every day, every month, of every year. Apparently we need a constant reminder of how autistic drug addicts fuck up everything they touch.
Brayden Garcia
war is preferable to slow compromise into slavery.

Imagine not mutinying and stringing up every single one of the fucktard general officers responsible for millions of lives being thrown away for nothing. Maybe white people really do need to go extinct.
Noah Adams

Leo Diaz
I think that if you understand WWI, you understand how we got here. “Here” being the huge mess we’re in atm.
Also, muh Hitler.
Julian Williams
because ww1 is more interesting than ww2 and actually a fight that could go both ways up until 1918.
Christian Hughes
Elijah Jenkins
black german
Daniel Wright
Talk about being on top of your ‘stache game, though.
Xavier Barnes
It wasn't going both ways, it was going no where. It was just countries sending in all their men to kill themselves. It was ridiculous and horrific.
Leo Robinson
Imagine if we just sent millions of browns/blacks at each other instead of killing europeans..
Jace Cook
>being on top of your ‘stache game
Jaxson Cooper
Because it is an incredibly interesting war. More so than ww2. I started binge-watching the great war channel on youtube.

Jayden Richardson

Andrew Bailey
Because the Mandella Effect has changed our history to where the cause of the US entering WW1 was German terrorists attempted to blow up the Statue of Liberty, propelling the US into WW1.
Chase Jackson
You on crack? Boomers talk about Vietnam not wwi. There's like 1 old guy that's 120 left that saw wwi

Don't be so scured user.

I dig uw ww1 artillery bombs every weekend as a hobby. AMA
Owen Rodriguez
Every man is scared in his first battle. If he says he s not he s a liar. Some men are cowards but they fight the same as the brave men or they get the hell slammed out of them watching men fight who are just as scared as they are. The real hero is the man who fights even though he is scared.
Joshua Baker
WWI was fucking intense. It's started as a shot show with a shitty weapons and soon unbeknownst to the fuckers who started, all of sudden every nation involved get themselves some fancy advanced weapons and the whole war turned into a massive human grinder machine. It's awful
Oliver Williams
>that g98 with trench mag
do want

Are those the french soldiers that got gassed by the Germans? why they all have that shit on their eyes?
Ryder Thomas

Asher Miller
wwi is an utterly fascinating subject. read some of the men's first hand accounts and take a looks at some maps & pics - it will engross you. endlessly interesting but very morose.
Oliver Brown
not yet no
have found one of this size on sunday
Nicholas Long
>Are those the french soldiers
British, here are some french though.
Jordan Moore
more
Matthew Hughes
Because the lost generation was pretty much sent to kill eachother to prevent them from uniting under the red banner. There was a revolutionary spirit in the air in those times.
Lincoln Young
You could say thats what gave Europe communism at the end of the war.
Dominic Bailey
Jacob Williams
ww1 is awesome retard it shaped idelogically and politicaly the modern world in more ways than you can imagine. GO study to figure out
Brody Jones
It actually helped prevent it, in Europe atleast
Sebastian Sanders
Back before cats knew how to groom themselves properly.
Tyler Wilson
bump gud thread
Aiden Thomas
>ww1 is awesome
Dylan Parker
Germany experienced a large scale communist mutiny at the end of the war. Including a coup in Bavaria. It happened in Hungary as well.
Charles Foster
This. I want a film that shows how horrific and bloody it was.
Jordan Rivera
>before cats knew how to groom
war is hell on the fur
Josiah Cruz
What Iean is, that mutiny wouldve been unstoppable if all the other comrades werent drafted into the meatgrinder.
Christian Davis
Joseph James
though some find the time
Adam Ortiz
>I want a film that shows how horrific and bloody it was.
Jaxson Reed
That mutiny happened because of the war. Communism needs misery to succeed.
Carson King
Because it was the centenary last year you fat fuck
Jose Kelly
Prolly the Jow Forums in me but these boomers prolly want the M1903 to appreciate in value overnight like the M1 Garand, and M1 Carbine did when Saving Private Ryan et. al came out.
>yfw the value of your dads battle rifle from WW2 went from $400 dollars to nearly $4000 and you sell it after you move him to the VA Home to die cold and alone.
Landon Hill
>bump gud thread
Thomas Fisher
19 year olds in 1917
Zachary Rodriguez
..to add on to that post, a lot of old fucks have weapons like above that are strictly investment vehicles, and haven't had a round gone through them since 1963.
Hudson Howard
More like because the war destroyed the larp about global worker's consciousness, ending the 2nd International
Nolan Morgan
>prolly want the M1903 to appreciate in value

The Chlorine gas reacts whitch the water in your eyes/lungs/etc to produce strong Hydrochloric acid.
I'd rather be nuked
Jordan Green
beautiful! I enjoyed Dan Carlins podcast on this war. I may check out the YT channel that goes day by day
Levi Evans
>Prolly the Jow Forums in me
Eli Robinson
Dan Carlin does an amazing (and long) podcast on it. Really worth the listen
Hudson Martin
Because it was an incredibly brutal conflict that doesn't have too many stories told in media.
James Jenkins
Does the same thing happen on a smaller level in chlorinated pools?
Jordan Baker
Yes, which is a significant reason why pools are pH tested
Elijah Lewis
>The Chlorine gas reacts whitch the water in your eyes/lungs/etc to produce strong Hydrochloric acid.
Ryder Allen
I saw that rifle at the "in flanders fields museum", also last sunday
Andrew Williams
At the beginning of the war the Russians were producing 35k artillery shells per month, but expending 65k per day
Jayden Thomas
Why? Because it strokes people's ego to be called a hero when they were scared? A man truly worthy of admiration would not onlly be resolute in the face of danger, but he would also inspire those around him who are lesser to follows in his footsteps and reach glory through his leadership
Levi Bell
Some men get over their fright in a minute under fire. For some it takes an hour. For some it takes days. But a real man will never let his fear of death overpower his honor his sense of duty to his country and his innate manhood.
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best and it removes all that is base.”
Brandon Martinez
All those years of swimming in chlorine and my eyes are still just as good as always.
Andrew Ward
Tank crew with body armour.
Nathan Wood
Because people much smarter than you go to great lengths to ensure consumer safety, crazy right?
John Butler
Except for that random chance of getting blown up by artillery or airstrikes before you get a chance to accomplish anything. Or your entire unit could be encircled and captured cause the fellows twenty miles north let the enemy break through.
Brandon Murphy
Gas masks on horses was the pinnacle of warfare. No conflict will ever be greater.
Hudson Taylor
geez, did you know that table salt is NaCl? That's right, it's half chlorine!!!!
i'm NEVER touching that stuff again!
Gabriel Bennett
Rude.
Juan Diaz
>Why are Boomers obsessed with WW1
>after that Peter Jackson movie.
Because of the Peter Jackson movie.
Boomers are largely lemmings (don't worry, Millennials and Zoomers are too). If Jackson had made a movie about the Napoleonic wars, they'd be talking about that. If he made one about the Schleiswig Holstein war, they'd be talking about that.
Ethan Rivera
All quiet on the western front
