The War You Don't See

Depends who you work for? Al Jazeera???

Usual canard is that they are biased pro-islamicist whereas our media are more or less neutral. I have to say that it doesn't seem to me to be so.

WAtWS. The vast majority of casualties in each of those wars were civilians. Conscripting civilians, calling them soldiers, and putting them in the front line isn't very different to shifting the front line to where they live and killing them there. It also saves the cost of issuing uniforms. No wonder politicians like it.

What isn't really appreciated by us Brits is that in WWII the German forces conscripted eligible males from the countries they had occupied.

It is appreciated by some

On DDay, half the enemy we faced were called Ost battalions, conscripted from Poles, Slavs, Russians but mostly Ukranians.
They fought very poorly. If my dad had been a better shot we might have been able to see AtW being retrospectively un-conceived

You expect journalists to give both sides of a story (that is their job)

Nice one!

Oh, that is so funny.

You almost make it sound like you mean it, too.
