A Brit named Florence Green, who joined the Women's RAF and served in WWI died on Saturday, Feb 4 at the age of 110.
My grandfather, a midwest farmer, served in WWI and it must have been pretty bad because he would never talk about it, no matter how much prompted by my cousins. I never heard him say even one word about it.
The machine gun had been invented by Hiram Maxim, an American who emigrated to become a Brit, not too much earlier around 1880. Unlike the nuke, there was no compunction about using it.
It won't be too many more years before people are writing about the last remaining Vietnam Vets...
