I didnt understand it.Or it is about the oddity of the war?The lack of sense?I remember the play “Waiting for Godot”.Seem something related to it.?Anyway,war is always stupid.
Hi Thelma, thanks for the film clip, it looks like I will need tissues for this one. I don’t think I should take credit for reminding about the Miracle that occured in 1914, maybe the author of this Blog perhaps..
Why do we have wars ???
Because we are afraid that someone will attack us first so we better atack before the others do.
Crazy but sadly true, we should all practice to have understanding for each ohter instead.
But it´s hard to have cunderstanding for someone you´ve been atacked by, when you feel you haven´t done anything.
To be the one who leaves the battlefield and say I don´t want to be in this childish sandbox fight!!!
Can we love them we have been atacked by?
I think we can forgive, but to love them ..hmm … maybe after a while if they can open their mind and see things from another angle.
We have to accept that we can see things from different angles, and it´s OK to do so. We all have our own truth and reality.
We humans have a lot of work to do still, if we wan´t a better world.
Crock was created in 1975 by Bill Rechin, Don Wilder and Brant Parker, and has become the greatest and longest-running parody of the Foreign Legion classic, Beau Geste.
The genius of the off-the-wall strip is that it manages to turn the established conventions of the Foreign Legion melodrama upside down. A group of luckless legionnaires live in a fort in the middle of the desert under Commandant Vermin P. Crock, a tyrannical leader who is known to “hang people by their thumbs for the silliest mistakes.”
Crock chronicles the adventures of Vermin P. Crock and the other characters stationed at their grim desert outpost including the cowardly Captain Poulet, the simple-minded Maggot and camp-follower Grossie.
Crock was recently introduced as part of Universal Studios’ new theme park, “Islands of Adventure” in Orlando, Florida. Crock’s fort is one of the anchors for the park’s “Toon Lagoon” attraction, joining other nationally syndicated comics in the three-dimensional displays.
Crock is distributed worldwide by King Features Syndicate to more than 200 newspapers worldwide.
I found the above in the ..Wise..Google!
I like the satire and parody[παρωδία], they make us able to see life in an optimistic way. The pictures above show that anything can become a … routine.
LOVE,

ROFL. I appreciate that kind of drawing. In both camp, never underestimate your adversary: stupidity is not always a pretence. But sometimes yes. :)
As for me I like non-violence. Not a reason to sleep indeed… Non-violence doesn’t mean we don’t have to plan and act to reach our aim.(Though it seems to be a feint here. A person that’d be asleep would not anwer to those two dummy fellows lol)
I believe that when we look for love courageously, it reveals itself, and we attract even more love. If one person really wants us, everyone does. But if we’re alone, we become even more alone. Life is strange…
And it was a great sleep in ! I love the 7 th day !! Blessings Tania

It reminds me of the Christmas Truce in 1918
Kurt Zehmisch of the 134th Saxons recorded in his diary:
“Thus Christmas, the celebration of Love, managed to bring mortal enemies together as friends for a time.’

I like that he called Christmas a celebration of Love, and wish all wars would stop even for a day once more…
