It looks fascinating. And yeah, we probably won't get it here in the States because Americans tend to forget that WW1 even happened. We entered into the conflict so late that we never saw the devastating casualties of folks like y'all who were there from the start. Hell, most Americans don't even know what the poppies we buy on Veteran's Day symbolize. In fact, the practice of selling or wearing poppies on Veteran's Day has all but died out in this country, as has the knowledge that 11 November began as Remembrance/Armistice Day.
It's always made me wonder what the US would be like if we *had* suffered the kind of losses the rest of y'all did during the Great War. Would we have the same militant, might-makes-right attitude as today? Or would we be more cautious?
