I love it when two opposite sides put their differences aside and come together.

It’s a great true story, though!

They also sang carols to each other from the trenches and exchanged addresses, promising to write each other when the war is over.

Love it! I heard this story before. As I recall, it was the two armies singing carols together in the night that started the Christmas truce...

Yes I too remember it

I knew it because there is a complete chapter in literature about this in class 8

George Washington crossed the Delaware River to attack Hessian forces on Christmas Eve because he knew they would be celebrating not fighting

Everyone liked it

I just can't imagine shooting at somebody for long enough to lose track of time, then have some fun playing pickup sports with them, and then go back to trying to kill them the very next day. It's inconceivable to me.

Well, this just shows that they are all ordinary men brainwashed to kill by their government. I saw a documentary where some Germans were taken prisoner by the Brits and they were really friendly and some could speak English.

And then they had to go and kill each other again

Nice!

this proves that the governments start wars and the soldiers are supposed to kill each other for a government that doesn't care about them

Sounds like a really simple solution would be to kill the government.

Well, “Better no rule, than cruel rule.” Right?

yes besides, you can take whatever you want and not get arrested for stealing twinkies

Umm no. See when you have anarchy, the next big country invades and quickly annexes your land and forces their government on you. They do this because there is no organized resistance.

i assume that the former millitary and people with experience might form a millita and act as an army for the anarchists

I’ve heard they stopped fighting, I didn’t know they played football. If only they’d stayed stopped fighting.

Oversimplified said this.

I found out about this on cracked.com lol

My mom tells us this all the time
