Ww1 was basically men getting commanded to fight a 19th century style war with new types of weapons they were just experimenting with at the start of the war; an example being gas and later tanks. That's why so many died and got so badly injured.

      Life is pain, war is not an option is survival, when the war on a foreign country stops you start a war within that will create a new one outside. It happens in the animal kingdom as well when you can't feed on something else you start to cannibalizate. Being said that all countries must be war ready or face obliteration as we have seen before and right now.

      Probably to do with the fact that plastic surgery requires more cutting and stretching of the skin. Which ofc these mask require none and are able to be fitted properly even after being applied. Im sure they are great and much cheaper. That is till you need to eat or scratch your face.

    The worst suffering was the mental cruelty inflicted on those poor men. Not only had they had the physical torment to endure but then they had to put up with the taunts and jeers about their appearance and the knowledge that they were living a lie. They'd been told that they were "heroes" and then they discovered that, to their fellow countrymen, they were objects of derision. That woman saved what must have been hundreds from that psychological torture. I'd never heard of her before I saw this. I'm glad I found this clip now.
