WW1 and Self-Inflicted Wounds

Reminder!!
Your leaders in government own you and you will do what they want or die anyway. Its always been this way. They hate you and its never changed in the west or east.
Think this wont happen in 2024.
Your joking yourself.

You are being plagiarized.

That is so sad that people were executed over supposed self-inflicted wounds. Even today, don’t think you could tell with 100 accuracy, and on the front there were bullets and artillery flying everywhere….pretty much any injury (like shot in the hand…in both hands) could happen by chance at least a few times.

Bubu

It shows who these wars really serve when countries are willing to kill their own people just to make sure everyone stays in line

Great video format sir , straight to the point and no click bait 👍

How many Canadians self-inflicted wounds in WWI ?

This wouldn’t be me because I’d be in Mexico on the beach. I’m not fighting no wars for nobody.

My great grandfather shot his forearm in WW2. He got sent home and recovered.

Tiffin said my balls are from

The state can throw their lives away for whatever "tactics" and they're heroes. Basically their lives were not their own. Disgusting

What our so called leaders drive men to do.

I don't think there are many people these days that would of done well in this era of time! So brutal and barbaric!

Massive THANK YOU for actually labeling the clips you showed so we know what the movies were if we wanted to check em out 🙏🏻

Watch Dave J.

Mr. Bean played a WWI officer?

Shocking.

My old Polish boss told me about his friend that was going to do some mandatory military service. He got drunk af on vodka and smashed his knee. It worked and he didnt see service. He died from gangrene

Jesus Christ is God

I was in bootcamp with a guy. Who intentionally hurt his knee to get out lol. Probably still walks with a limp.

And you wonder why young folk don't want to join the military

another dark aspect of WW1 was the deliberate killing of the wounded. My grandfather was a Ambulance driver who won the military medal at St. Julien. a family heirloom if a rvolver he was carrying, illegally, it has 7 knotches in either side of the hanldles ( so 7 or 14 men) all his own men. they were used to ‘humanly’ put down thoe too serverely wounded to mke it back to the clearing stations, and spend their time working on those they could save. The london illustrated War news magazine is full of red cross men of all sides carrying weapons, just for this purpose.

This video covers a very interesting topic but it ends so abruptly! It could really do with a longer discussion, at least ten minutes or more to fully explore a lot of the depth that is only hinted at in the present video.

It was the waiting around that probably got to them, waiting around to get killed. In previous wars, and most wars after, combat was fast-paced, but trench warfare was different.

Could always pick your least favorite leg. Aim for the knee and hope. Sure be crippled, but atleast your not in a dying mud pit

God imagine being forced to fight for some rich assholes ideas way way above you. I'd just kill myself than be forced to fight.

People do all kinds of things to survive and avoid military service. For example, current prime minister here in Croatia had his mom who was doctor in a hospital at the time for his pre service checkup write that her precious is anemic, in order to spare him from serving mandatory service in back then Yugoslavia army.

allahu akabar

Holy crap, thats pretty intense. >.>

Thanks Johnny pal

All that death for oil companies!

Oh the French, they never disappoint.......

Damn, the French army brass were kinda the bad guys, treating their own troops that badly.

why does that first soldier look like desmond doss's dad from hacksaw ridge

I don't want to sound too stupid but shell shock and PTSD is NOT the same
Shell shock is physical damage to the brain by shock waves (usually explosions from shells)
And PTSD is (usually) caused by fear, or more the fear of something, dying or injury in this case, and the psychological effect of this

What is the movie at the beginning?

all wars are designed by governments to weed out strong men.

prove me wrong. they want an ultimately weak race of men who wont fight back. but can work. slaves. prove me wrong.

"Better understood"

Suicide rates among veterans are worse now than ever before.

Another pointless bankers' war

I inew this guy that married my sisters friend he joined up right before 9/11 for a paycheck and benefits. When the war broke out he “accidentally “ shot his foot almost off with a 20 gauge while “hunting”. Idiot.

1 word, cowards

I need more boolets

Seems smart to me to want to get out of the war.

Imagine walking by your teammates n they in a hole lookin scary asf.. I would’ve been mad ash like “get y’all scared asses out the corner we really like that”

These guys remind me of those kids who would try to get sick or injured just to avoid going to school. I was one of them😂

in La Grande Guerra, in the Italian Army, my grandfather, a lieutenant, witnessed two older soldiers shooting each other in the lower leg, quite a convincing wound. Both men together had something like 14x children, and nothing was said. The penalties in the Italian Army in WW1 were harsh, my grandfather also witnessed several executions near the front lines, using soldiers from the condemned men's units, not military police, at least at his unit. "Shell shock" and another word I cannot spell neurothisia were used in this war. One thing hardly mentioned, PTSD being so common these days, in those days was "soldier's heart" Funny reading comments here about how horrible war is. I did 18 months in Iraq, infantry and all that... why do people tell me "war is bad" or "people get killed in war" oh well

I see you like blackadder!

Abolish the draft.

Just dont go to army, DUHH!

I don't blame them honestly. Fuck fighting wars for people who never see the warfare.
