Arden and I had been French in our previous lives, dying for our country in the blood-soaked trenches of the Western Front. And now here I was on a shore that—justifiably—loathed the land I had sacrificed myself in the name of. Whatever divine hand was responsible for our reincarnations clearly had a sense of humor.
you should. the soldiers throughout ww1 barely believed in the war they were fighting, and thats not a good enough excuse for not hating the invaders of algeria.
if anything serving in ww1 should make you hate invaders MORE
