Anon beat me to it

That.... is actually pretty funny. Fuckin' Chaplin, who'd have thought?
>>18019701
We all are, no worries.

What is with the men shaking and walking stiffly?
Is it PTSD?
I watched this out of a morbid curiosity, but I'm so thankful to be detached from this sort of thing.
Anyone have good Nam/Agent Orange footage?

Yeah. Back then it was called shellshock. I'm not sure why it doesn't manifest like that anymore, but it probably has something to do with the fact that we've never really had another war where you sat around in a ditch for months at a time while artillery exploded a few feet away from you.

Correct. The conditions in which the war was fought
had detrimental effects on the human mind on levels yet to be matched.
I have a hard time imagining the thought process of the young boys who had to endure months upon months of cold, wet, bombarded misery.
A morbid part of me thinks going over the top would be a relief given enough time spent on constant edge.

Too much real life.

You don't know what you are missing. Charlie Chaplin was a master of visual humor and some pretty gnarly stunts on almost Buster Keaton level insanity.

A soldier once wrote about sitting in a trench while the juices of a decaying, decapitated leg dripped onto his shoulder.

Truly. Not just the shelling, WW1 was the first time a whole bunch of brutal weapons were used for the first time. And the kids going to war had little to no media exposure like today to know what to expect. Imagine being in that trench, and after months of cold, bad food, disease and friends dying you see a tank for the first time in your life, rolling across the field to kill you. We got it damn good in our time
Reminder that early feminists would shame men who didn't go off to fight

If you're talking about the Order of the White feather those weren't feminists, they were women hired by the british government to shame the men into enlisting

those bitches and whores would give guys that lost limbs feathers for not being man enough to die in a fucking ditch in france.
just like the temperance movement was a bunch of smelly old dykes and child molesters.

Lets not forget, there are few, if any memorials to those people that died in WW1. I've heard elsewhere that the dead, regardless of what side they were on, were often tossed in mass, shallow graves.
At that point, being a soldier was not patriotic, it was not even heroic, it was just something able bodied men would have to do from time to time.
