Every year in November, we pay homage to the noble men of World War 1 who were killed in their millions for reasons which, I am sadly sure, many people no longer remember.
In one day, during one battle, Britain lost 58,000 men: 20,000 men killed and 38,000 men wounded.
The list of those included in Remembrance has expanded somewhat over the years, but it should remain focused on World War 1 and those men who sacrificed their lives in what can only be described as the worst war in imagining; the worst experience that men have ever lived through and died through.
The fact that it was exclusively men who suffered this worst trauma of history, should always be highlighted and examined. The unique and extraordinarily terrible experiences of men who endured a literal Hell on earth, should always be in the front of our minds when we think of Remembrance. These men should be our main consideration.
We should ensure that we remember; and we should ensure our sons remember; and we must all appreciate and never forget; that Remembrance is about the ultimate sacrifice of men and men alone.

First class.
I have been a military man, before and aft the mast’ as they say. I grieve my fellows lost in war. I grieve the men and boys I have ‘engaged’ and who never went home to their families. Men and boys just like me.
And not a bit like the women we protected.
The work you are doing here is just as important to protect and defend our civilisation as anything I have done with a gun and muddy boots.
It is a psychological and spiritual war we are fighting now, and you have a full arsenal.
Thank you. This is very thoughtful and encouraging. I very much appreciate it.
You know there are two sides to this.
Rich Zubaty has just started an unusual anti-war page.
Something so obvious that it has escaped our notice is that war is a MEN’S issue.
First of all, having to fight, willingly or not, is a men’s issue.
But dodging the draft — as Rich did in the 1960s to avoid the pointless Vietnam conflict — is another, equally harrowing, men’s issue. (He went on the run from the FBI and escaped to France where he did a degree in media studies.)
So he has now set up a charity to help men who are REFUSING to fight.
That’s not only novel, it highlights yet ANOTHER area where men are suffering — one that has somehow crazily escaped our notice.

Yes, war is a men’s issue, my own mother claimed that men start wars, not women (But of course she conveniently overlooked Margret Thatcher.), and yes it was traditionally men who declared war, but it was also the time when politics was the preserve of men, now of course women are leaders of nations and they too have to use armed force when needed.
Now women are leaders of men, they too have to share the blood on their hands stigma, they too have to decide to fight or allow despots to dominate mankind (Or womankind if you’re a feminist, misandrist self loathing person.).
Excellent video. Wars are fought for natural resources and women desire more material objects than men. Women are the cause of wars. But not the ones who end up fighting them.
I am kinda amazed you take a feed from that right wing pot head Hawaiian Libertarian, and Fred on Everything, and not my http://www.therudeguy.com feed though. I am a leftist who bemoans how feminism destroyed leftist politics in America by emphasizing social issues while allowing corporations to overrun our economic lives. They’re what gave us George W Bush and the Iraq War and Afghan Wars. Frankly mine is a very enlightened position that transcends the normal left/right baggage.
Of course, you’re right and I’ve always enjoyed your work. I’ve only recently added this feed feature and I haven’t been comprehensive in setting it up. The Rude Guy is now linked as it should be and glad to have you.
Thanks for including me. (see below)
This video is exactly how the BBC should be presenting current affairs and how it might have presented them in some long-gone era. Above all, it brings to light the fact that our television media is not fit for purpose.
But that’s more than just a pisser. It’s highly disturbing. The politically correct propaganda our media is spurting out is being supported by the very men it’s destroying! The frustrating thing is this. If these people (ha ha) could just develop the capability of two minutes’ thoughtful focus, they might just wake up to its self-contradictions and obvious distortions.

I’m kinda amazed that you expect MRAs to link to your site(s) when you don’t link back to them.
Have you put a link to this site anywhere?
You’re absolutely right. Brainless of me. I’ll put links both for Angry Harry and MWM on both http://www.therudeguy.com and http://www.happyfool.org
Sorry, and thanks for prodding me.
@Rich
You are forgiven.
Where’s the rebuttal to the Women and children make 80% of civilian casualties?
Didn’t you know that 74.3% of statistics are made up on the spot (Just like this one).
Perhaps I am stating the obvious here but when told many years ago by a young feminist that “Men start wars!” I came back with the snappy comeback “Yes and Women don’t stop wars, Men Do!“.
