This is a fascinating article, but it really strikes me how quickly the past fades.

To a friend who’s currently deployed I sent the following message (we’re both Americans for context):

> I’ve always thought the civil war was a long time ago - it finished a bit over 100 years before I was born. I never thought that to our parents, they probably considered what their grandparent’s childhood was like - those were their grandparents first memories after all. For our kids, that’s about the same for WW1.

And that’s why rememberance is so critical, the severity of WW1 is all too often forgotten.

i disagree with this, atleast from my experience. World war 1 is heavily discussed in schools, (considering it resulted in massive social and political changes around europe, that is not weird)
