What an idiot. I state an obvious truth and that's "cold". War is cold, 
or did your mommy lie to you? They knew the risks and in the immortal 
words of Robert Falcone Scott;
We knew the risks
We willingly took those risks
Therefore when things turn out against us
We have no cause for complaint

Written as the next to last journal at the Antartic "death camp" 
January 1911.

Those people chose to place themselves in harms way. Men in my 
generation didn't. We were drafted and put in harms way by Asshole 
Johnson. We were sent to fight an unwinnable war. Not an inherently 
unwinnable war, an unwinnable war made so by Asshole Johnson. Men were 
lost not at the rate of 5 a day for a good cause but 15 a day for no 
cause, thanks to Asshole Johnson. That's cold.
