Remembrance of War (with Great Grampa Alec)

Today on Remembrance of War, Great Grampa Alec attempts to span three generations with his valuable knowledge as he is interviewed by his great grandson's friend, Timmy. Timmy: What's it like to fight in a war? G.G. Alec: Listen up now, Timmy, because I know you like watching TV. The TV makes war look fun and exciting and it makes you think that nothing could be better than winning a war. But war is nothing but a tragedy. A lot of the soldiers I faced in battle were not much older than you. Some of them were maybe a little younger. In fact, I remember one who looked a little bit like you. I lifted him off the ground by his throat with one hand and squeezed until his eyeballs popped out. Timmy: Why were they so young? G.G. Alec: Because it was later in the war after they used up all their adult soldiers. I tell you what, you grow up fast on the battlefield, Timmy. Maybe that's the kind of experience you need to teach you about life - as long you don't get killed or horribly maimed. Just remember not to use your last bullet until you're well within bayonet range. Timmy: What did they do to people they didn't like? G.G. Alec: They rounded them up and killed them. Sometimes they shot them. Sometimes they hung them. Sometimes they locked them in a barn and set it on fire. And they didn't care how old you were. Lots of boys your age and younger would get pulled out of their houses and end up in a ditch with a bullet in the back of the head.
