How hard would it be for them to plant some trees?

I know. Reminds me of the old Sam Kinnison bit about the famine in Africa.

See this? It's sand. You know what it's gonna be in 50 years? SAND!
Nothing grows here. IT's a desert.

Pretty, but with a blood soaked history.

As opposed to, I don't know, North Western Europe?

You'd think that might fertilise the ground, even.

It is beautiful, but every time I think of Turkey (the country) I remember how Australia lost a generation of men there. I don't think of it with bitterness, but I do remember.

Gallipoli was indeed a clusterfuck.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Rhianne · 11-17-2011, 08:33 PM

And it wasn't only Australians - and I understand why it means so much to them and the Kiwis - as many or more Frenchmen lost their lives at Gallipoli and twice as many British and please never forget the Turkish boys either, maybe ten times as many of them died. Think what the loss of a hundred thousand young men would do to a country.

And that makes me realize how incredible WWII was with an estimated death toll of 62 to 78 million

Look at this page from Wiki The chart and the numbers lost are nothing short of insane.

About 18,000,000 dead from the USSR, Germany and China.
