...at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the Armistice ending the hostilities of the First World War came into effect.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Ninety years ago today...

What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

May people always remember.
There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939
Re: Ninety years ago today...
And it took another 72 years for that war to finally come to a close.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.
