WW1: Kitchener Dies

WW1: Kitchener Dies
World War One is plaguing Europe. And don’t think for a second I will take the time to study the causes and effects that are prolonging this absurd bloodshed. I did read in the paper though that General Kitchener of the British army has been killed at sea recently. Yeah, I have never heard of the guy either. But, interestingly enough, I flipped the page of my paper, and, though sad as this Kitchener’s death is, I discovered that that Kitchener is the Lord Kitchener whose face is on those “Briton Wants You” posters infecting the city. Well, I find it ironic that the man on the poster who wants you to do what he does (fight in the army) died doing what he does. Who still wants to go to war?
