Has anyone else seen this nonsense advertised?

It's apparently a re-imagining of WWI where we are fighting war of the world's style tripods

I find it a bit, well a lot, disrespectful to trivialise the horrors of the great war, more so after visiting the somme a couple of years ago

It's on the HISTORY channel FFS

SiFi channel I could cope with but it is supposed to teach you history !

Bloody Americans

Can't be worse than the Battlefield 4 advert proclaiming, "The glorious mind-blowing freedom of all-out war.”

I find that a pretty sick message.

is it any worse than tarantinos reimagining of world war 2 in inglorious bastards or any other Hollywood war film infact any revisionist history that we see after any conflict?

lifes far to short to get stressed about it

Some alternative history is good, I like Turtledoves series about an invasion during WW2

Ash - A secret history by Mary Gentle is a good read.
Basically an alternative history of late Medieval Europe through the eyes of a female mercenary captain, golems and bloody violence 🙂

The mrs and I thought it was a bit off as well. Maybe we are a bit too precious but it really does trivialise the real subject somewhat.
