So, back in WWI, in a single area in Flanders, the British suffered what they called ‘wastage’.

Wastage was term used to represent the deaths that were part of the natural attrition of constant combat: men who were obliterated daily, outside of major engagements, just as a sort of ‘cost of doing business’.

1 to 2 thousand men per day, every day, for around four years.

That was the wastage. ~2,190,000 human lives. That’s just British losses in this one (small) contested area.

And we didn’t get it. WWII didn’t teach us either. We still expend the lion’s share of our resources and work… for this?

So we have to make some conscious choices here. Either we are going to stop thinking and behaving in this way, now… and replace the people who keep leading us to this… and the ideas…

or, we’re going to continue serving them, and attacking ourselves, our intelligence, and everything else in sight until we’re dead or poisoned.

Think about it.
