BBC's adptation of 'Birdsong'

[AndrewF]

Just watchged the second part of the BBC's adaptation of 'Birdsong'. Why are we as a species so keen to destroy ourselves?
I don't care what anyone says, war is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And yes, I do mean ALL wars

I agree Andrew.
That book exposed the horror. I remember it well.  Forget the love story stuff.  It was all about the trenches for me.

ww1 seems quite popular fare at the minute.. what with Downtown Abbey heroically opening its doors and cheerfully and quite gaily breezing through ......Faulkes book i see was written in 1993 so quite recent but makes use of granddaughter researching his life.... 

have been following My dear i wanted to tell you .. by Louisa Young 2003 or something last week on radio 4 there was one episode that was quite chilling set in a hospital in england with war wounded in shockingly graphic account .. but it makes no odds really .. i remember the use that scientists made of the opportunities war wounded served to learn about the brain by what happened to the rest of you when it was damaged by Luria and others ... guess that work was never quite somehow gonna be completed! it seems it makes no odds whatsoever

GOD BLESS!

Peace and Love,
