Oh for sure, all it takes is just one horrible day to change your life. He got sent to the trenches at the very end after working supply lines. My point was that the original commenter made it seem like everyone who was a World War One vet came out like some totally changed person who saw nothing but non stop trench warfare, when that really wasn’t the case at all

US soldiers who fought in the war were there for a couple months to maybe around a year. He definitely could imagine life without war.

Reply to comment by jamescookenotthatone in TIL Of the Bre-X fraud. The Canadian mining company was a penny stock that reportedly found billions of dollars of gold in Indonesia. The stock skyrocketed but collapsed following the suicide of one of the geologists and discovery that the core samples were salted. by jamescookenotthatone
Also the geologist that “committed suicide” did so by jumping out of a helicopter, after surgically removing both his hands and feet. Seems legit
