It's amazing there werent more officers that were killed by mutinys during the world wars, they were awful people quite often, sad state of afairs, great video
There actually were a few mutinies where that did happen . They were called fragging , when soldiers started getting issued early grenades in ww1 . If an officer treated them poorly they would “frag” the officer . Because the early grenades had the same result as the enemy grenades/artillery. It was an easy way to get away with killing an officer(if said officer was a bad leader). Because early ballistics evidence collection teams were not advanced it was an easy way to get away with it . Hell even dragging was done in the vietnam war decades later .
@arthurmorgan8978 Yes but they were ignited like a firecracker rather then a modern grenade and they generally were only carried by specially trained troops.
@@ChickenLiver911 Sad state of affairs. It was inevitable that a World War would occur sometime in the 20th century. There was a tangled web of alliances and everyone was trying to get a leg up over the other guy. Even these days things are like that. I wouldn't be surprised if another World War occurs between now and 2100. Although I doubt it would be as devastating as the previous two because of how precise modern smart bombs are.
Very interesting. I served in the Marine Corps in Iraq (2006-07). We didn’t have this issue that I am aware of, but we had others. I remember one guy in my unit claiming he was mentally unstable in order to get sent home. Our command took his weapon away and he wasn’t allowed to do anything other than manual labor. We also had drug users who had there weapons taken away and filled sandbags and did other menial jobs. The sight of a Marine who was unarmed in a combat zone had the same effect as a yellow armband. Everyone knew what they were; and they were treated very poorly by all. At the end of our deployment they all got kicked out for one reason or another.
Well, better he be doing that than serving 5 years in a military prison. People don't realize that you can literally be executed because you fell asleep at your post. Hell, they can kill you just for saying no to a superior officer. The military is strict, and getting caught shooting yourself in times of war is still a 10 year sentence. Wearing an armband and being shamed by people you'll never see again is the least worst possible ending, especially how common it was for soldiers to just pull the pin and blow up people in their troop they didn't like.
I am a massive WWI buff and I never knew this. Thanks for that.
You aren't a buff then, you're a poser
No Sir. Thank YOU, for teaching me something I didn't know. Thank you for your service.

@arthurmorgan8978 I mean, yeah, but they were often only issued to special units, as they were the old-style round black bombs with a literal fuse.
That being said, many of the temporary gentlemen were in shitty situations, just like the enlisted men.

The British General Haig stated that the Machine Gun was a much over rated weapon.
Holy What??? From watching You Tube the German, French, and British Army would have you shot for doing this in combat.🤨🤨
