        Exactly, "Lions led by donkeys" is how they referred to the generals. Used to throw wave after wave into path of known machine guns "Skulls grinned at us. All around stank unbelievably. These corpses were never buried for it was impossible for us to retrieve them. "

        Don't you dare dig up the past to justify the genocidal wars we have inflicted upon millions today. Over 2 Million people killed. Over 70 Million Refugees created. This article is known as "hearts & minds" to work your emotions. The BBC is full of tory sycophant management.
