Mostly, I'm feeling angry.

This is how I feel every 11th of November. The war was a clusterfuck of arrogance and ill planning and outmoded thinking and because of that millions of people who didn't need to die died horrible, avoidable deaths.

Sassoon lived through the war and went on to become an angry veteran and pacifist, and spent his life writing about it.

Sass is one of my great heroes and favourite poets. I think I might post "The General" later.
