Relearning the Lessons We Never Learned from World War I

On August 10, 1915, British physicist Henry Mosely—who would’ve likely won the Nobel Prize that year—died in perhaps the most disastrous error mankind has thus far made, The First World War (1914-18). Bright and pious fellow humans that had absorbed German, French, British, Russian “identities”; students, fathers, engineers, “great minds,” and “experts,” who even shared a common European Christian heritage, reverted to their tribal ape-like nature. For “God, honor, flag, and country” they slaughtered each other, leading to about 20 million deaths and millions more left invalid.
