The true horror of war

Vietnam changed me in ways I can't fully explain. The constant fear, the uncertainty, it's like a shadow that follows me everywhere. Shell shock isn't just a memory, it's a part of who I am now, a reminder of the price we paid for serving our country. Id like to thank all of you whom have been very generous and kind. I’m almost in tears to see how much it meant to serve, not only to me, but to the Americans I did it for. Thank you and god bless.

Yeah, World War One, despite being one of the most prominently influential wars of the 20th century, is generally one of the most niche-like subjects in the realm of major, world changing conflicts. Everyone talks about WW2, about Vietnam, about the Middle East, about Waterloo, about Korea, about the civil wars of various nations, about the Seven Years War and the American revolution, about the many wars of swords and bows and spears, about all of these things. But the war whose final motif was "Lest We Forget" has been almost completely disregarded by the average Joe of today's day and age. Because tell me: How many films, how many games, how many books, how many of _anything_ have you seen based on WW1? Chances are likely that it's not very big of a number.

​@@oldschoolChazzed That's a vast oversimplification. Raw infantry waves were used early on but quickly fell out of favor as wasteful. More than anything else, WW1 was an artillery war. Somewhere between two-thirds and three-fourths of all casualties were from artillery. Infantry charges were used later (you can't take ground if you sit in a trench), but they usually came after artillery tried to soften up the area. There were trenches trying to take each other at closer ranges than artillery could engage without risking dropping rounds on friendly lines, but these were much less common than the artillery fights. The war also saw revolutions in reconnaissance from aircraft, use of bombers (both zeppelin and prop plane), development of the tank and other armor, and new kinds of maneuver warfare. In short, it was horrific and an example of what industrialized war can do, but it was not the trope of callous officers ordering their men to be bullet sponges.

I can’t imagine the pure hell they went through, stuck in the mud and terrified, never knowing which moment might be their last. Fear of dying a grisly and agonizing death. Each one lucky enough to come home unscathed still carried those memories, those unseen psychological scars that prevented many of them from truly returning to their former lives. We owe them so much.

One of my great uncles served in WWI, he was tasked with the grisley job of running out into "no man's land" to recover soldiers who had been wounded. He'd go out typically with 3-4 people, 2 people to carry a stretcher, 1-2 people to cover them. He ended up being shot in the back while trying to rescue a wounded soldier. He's still buried in France.

Who's there actually to say he wasn't shell shocked, though? It seems like you and this guy just want to be on the alternative side to everything. If this exact explanation is to be believed, this guy had a serious and potentially fatal wound and had just watched his ally die in front of him from the exact same bullet, yet chose to smile big for a photograph back when --- despite this youtuber's whopping 3 examples --- hardly anyone chose to smile for pictures --- nevermind in combat. That's why everyone else in the picture was smiling too, right? Not only that, but he chose to return to combat despite an injury he could've milked to possibly go back home. This sounds a lot like what happened to Civil War vets who were all miraculously "fine" and suffered no PTSD from much, much more grisly combat than those from most-to-all wars thereafter, simply because they weren't diagnosed with PTSD or "shell-shock" back then. It has long been theorized that the entire "wild west" era of triggerhappy ginslingers and bloodletters was largely a result of the extremely young boys hardened by war returning to society with no clue of how to get along as a normal person.

Except that new recruits are more likely to die than those that have already seen combat.The largest chunk of the fatalities tend to come in the first couple weeks of combat. After that, the numbers drop significantly. Yes, there is some increase in risk as time goes by, military service is risky, but it's not anywhere near as risky as that first bit. Plus, when it comes to a larger scale war like WWI there may not even be people available to enlist after a while if re-enlisting is off the table.

People with a thousand yard stare or whom were shell shocked often had a completely sane look on their face until they were brought to peace to some extent. After that their faces would turn normal, but their behavior remained questioned. For example: a soldier who was in a ward was deaf due to shell shock, but the only thing he would respond to (and his response was taking cover under beds) was the word “bomb”.

PTSD certainly

One of my older buddies had to go drop off some paperwork at veterans hospital in the late 1960’s as the unit’s medical officer was doing a rotation there. He dropped off the paperwork and waited while it was being processed. He chatted with several WW I and WW I I veterans and some mentioned that they had been there since their respective wars due to long term effects and injuries. There was one chap that was in a constant delirium and had been a resident since the early 1920’s when someone realized that he wasn’t going to get better. Others had numerous limbs missing or were disfigured by scar tissue from burns.

finally! someone who posted the actual story!

Thanks for preserving this man’s legacy! Rip, I wish I had one ounce of his courage .

Or he was smiling because his sergeant who bought it was a total dick. 😂 Happens more often than you'd think. Military more often brings out the best in humanity. Also attracts the absolute worst too. I had a squad "leader," like that once. Gave real serious thought one night to doing the world a favor and fragging the blue falcon.

When I'm hearing 'died', I'll started cry.

I'm glad you brought the context to light on this photo, it sucks he got killed later, but at least he didn't die in the trench he died standing.

What a legend, lest we forget

Thank you young man for clarifying the story behind an iconic photo ❤ it’s the least we could do for anyone of the pasts as long as it is possible anyways

I can't believe the upper classes that sent these men over the top knowing they'd die were never held to account.

its called war , you think it would of been better if we had just sat in our trenches twiddling our thumbs for another 10 years? till we eventually got beaten by the germans because they would attack? And anyway many upperclass officers were killed going over the top leading their men and trying to boil it all down to rich is evil is just simplistic and stupid

This was how war was fought back then. The usage of tanks and over armored vehicles were scarce back then so many modern tactics didn't exist and were limited. They have no reason to get punished, it was just a different time with different methods

​@@stevewhite4080No, the political elites still cause the wars where they send the lower classes off to die, even with tanks and modern tactics. I know of no politician in Canada who has a son or daughter serving in the military and I can't think of a single example of one during the Afghanistan deployment either.

I agree, but the British and german nobility was gutted by ww1. Their officer corps were stacked with young nobles that all died. The military had become a bit of a refuge and a source of purpose for them as the new industrialists displaced their economic relevance and absorbed their political power. The old nobles might not have died, but their sons probably did. The war was all their fault tho so good riddance I suppose.

These men were of a different breed. God bless them.
