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!

Pretty, but with a blood soaked history.

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

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

Aliantha · 11-17-2011, 06:06 PM

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.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Gallipoli was indeed a clusterfuck.

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.

Here's an interesting fact.

During WW1, just over 38% of the male population of Australia aged between 18-44 enlisted in the army.

I knew it was a huge number, but I didn't realize it was that high.

Just wow. That would never happen these days. At least, I don't think it would.
