"The Great War" ... =/ Such propaganda.
I mean, I like War sim games and all, but I can't stand how "they" glorify war in the media. War is horrific!
None of us would ever want to be in a war, at least the sane among us. To seemingly glorify it with "great", despite the various meanings of the word, I truly believe "they" use it (subliminally) in this way to glorify war, not to express its size or intensity.
Disclaimer: I'm suspicious by nature of any act performed by anyone claiming to be in charge of others, be it war, laws, information or otherwise. ;)
If you watch the show it does nothing to glorify war. Quite the opposite. "The Great War" is how it was referred to before World War II. I think they picked the name because it is historical and is snappier than "The World War 1 week in review" or something :P
