The fact that the aeroplane in that picture was even built gives
the lie to any notion that war is great.

It does not, of course, negate the effort, bravery, and sacrifice
of the crews of that aeroplane and many others to regard WWII as
a "necessary evil", rather than anything "great".

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

We will remember them."

Seems as how some people are unable to recognize irony. Life must be
difficult for them. Irony is one of the armors against the terrible
occurences during life. "If you can't take a joke, don't re-enlist . .
