"Italy throws a punch at Austria and misses, but Austria falls over anyway. Italy raises both fists in the air and runs around the room chanting."

3. I tend to think of WWI as a family feud gone horribly wrong among first cousins.

They were so closely inbred marriage was no longer possible due to genetic defects from centuries of in breeding.

About the only accomplishment of WWI it got rid of a really dysfunctional family.

5. Didn't I hear on DU that WWI was over oil and fracking?

7. and just like the War of the Roses

it was Americas fault! Heck we all know the assasination of Julius Ceasar was Americas fault also.

8. One thing was missed:

While the fighting continued, America stood on the sidelines selling brass knuckles to whoever was willing to pay.

9. And we did that in the run up

to the Second World War as well.

And people ask me why I am ashamed of this country.
