THE FIRST WORLD WAR AS A TESTIMONIAL
The “Final Solution”—conclusion of the First World War—lay in memorials erected to honor soldiers. The crosses stand as testimonials—proof that young men died for their country.

What was the cause of the First World War? The cause was the nation itself. Crosses validated the existence of nations (an abstract idea that cannot be seen, felt or touched).

Crosses constitute verification. Certainly so many men could not have died for no thing. 

What nonsense to say that wars represent the "breakdown" of civilization. Precisely the opposite. Warfare constitutes the way each nation demonstrates devotion to its own civilization.

No nation wanted to be left out:  It was a family affair (Sly and the Family Stone). Each nation wished to partake of the ritual. How proud human beings are of their world wars that lie at the heart of the 20th century! 

We created these world wars to exhibit the depth of our spirituality: contempt for mundane existence. By engaging in monumental episodes of self-destruction, human beings affirmed the reality and demonstrate their devotion to “sacred objects.”
