WWI

In class today, we talked at WWI, and the areas that the soldiers lived in.  The area climate, that it rained so much that, since it is in the ground it becomes a mud pool.  Filled with bloody bodies, rats, poop, pee, and other nasty things just piled into a long tube ditch under ground.  I would never want to be in this situation, lets also add in that they sleep, ate, and lived in there for 24 hours every single day minus a few holidays.  The soldiers had to adopt to their new home, a live a dangerous life.  It was not like they were moving to a new home, they had to go from a roof to a filthy, disgusting, and unpleasant sight.  Watching people die, I would never want to know what a died body smells like, but when I watched a movie last year for the holocaust they had their clothes over their mouth and noise.

Also that they don't have the things in life, like a garbage man.  A garbage man, just doesn't come to the war sight to pick up the weekly garbage.  Second, they didn't get any news papers to see what is going on, of the out side war zone.  And third they knew their live was a risk.

And that they weren't really fighting for land, one side only lost around a few yards during so many years, while so many soldiers died.  It really wasn't about the land, I think they were just mad at each other.  The deasises and sickness that the soldiers got because of their boots, became old.  They didn't have the choice of what shoes they wanted, they probably only had one pair.  As "their"ditch became grosser, and the boots were being soaked up from the nasty water waste.  Soldiers got a disease that starts on their feet but ran up their body to a organ to the heart and died. If they were not treated well.  And now knowing that it eats your organs and die.  I feel like that would be the worse way to die in war.  In life the enviornment isn't always to our greatest.
