It’s a shame that when most people think of wars they think of WWII instead of WWI. It’s much more common for a war to be a senseless slaughter of the lower classes by a psychotic elite that is playing their own power game, rather than a just fight against pure evil. But I guess for that same reason these psychotic elite much rather compare every war to WWII and every strategic competitor to Hitler, rather than admit they want you to die for their profit.
