I say, the machinated gun will prove to be naught but a passing fad in the annals of history. Nothing matters on the battlefield except your rifle and your courage, and everyone knows every Brit is worth ten Germans in a fight.
Meanwhile, in 1914?

It's unfair bros, my older brothers got in the cavalry and my dad forced me to join the air force because he thinks i'm a sissy. Now I'm stuck in some fucking kite flying queer club, can't wait for my unit to be disbanded after six months for being useless
You fucking pansy, you should be grateful you weren't thrown into the infantry.
I haven't seen anything but mud for weeks. Mud covered boots. Mud covered uniforms. Mud covered rifles. Mud covered faces. It's all fucking mud and dirt everywhere I look
I hate it here.
Make the best of it lad. If you see a hun up there in your observation aeroplane, put your pistol to good use. Better yet, send for your father's shotgun and bring that up.
Remember to bring a brick with you when you sortie. You might need to chuck it at someone
That's like the shittiest Germ trench I've ever seen
What do you mean? It is narrow and zigzaggy, like a trench need to be when you are in range in everything from heavy artillery to kitchen sinks thrown by rubber bands and the biplanes start showing up in groups of 40.
>naught
>Brit
They spell(ed) it nought
By WW1 naught had become equivalent to nought, so it's still period-accurate
the distinction is actually more fine; naught is supposed to mean bad (from which we get "naughty") while nought is zero or nothing
thus,
>all will come to naught
means "all will come to an evil outcome", whereas
>to know nought but fame
means "to know nothing other than fame"
hence you may be correct to say "nought", but only in much earlier times
Em-nineteen (n)ought-three chambered in thirty (n)ought-six
Americans.
Naughty
The only good gun was the original handcanon everything after that is just a shitty imitation
>Germany still hasn't taken Belgium
two more weeks and you will kneel in front of ze Kaiser!
Dummer Franzos!
it's only because the BEF is sending every single johnny straight into ypres. john french is an idiot and deserves to be shot. look at his name, anyway, he's sending britons to hell for the sake of an "ally" that britain has eternally been at war with
No one actually spoke like that in 1914
Says you.
>Let us not, as in the case of the Boer war, carry it out in a boastful spirit. Let us approach the task in an attitude of humility. It is murder. It is contrary to Christianity, and there is nothing to be proud of and nothing to boast of. I have seen men taken out of a battleship, seen and heard them—men wrapped up in cotton-wool—after an explosion. That is what is going to happen in our Navy. That is what war means. I have seen war in South Africa, and I know what it means to the peaceful population as well as to the fighters in the war; and there is nothing to be proud of in such a struggle. It is a thing to bring to an end at the earliest possible opportunity, and I hope with hon. Members opposite that the war spirit in the country will cease, and that we shall regard this war as something to be gone through doggedly, but looking upon it as a curse instead of a blessing.
Favorite song chaps? Long Way to Tipperary is a nice listen.
Wacht Am Rhein, Ich Hatt Ein Kamerad, Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland.
