I recently watched the movie They shall not grow old, and it is comprised of real footage of WW1 trench warfare and conditions. It is mostly digitally remastered into a color footage, and has the real comments from the men that lived it. Very sobering.
My history knowledge of WW1 and WW2 of the Allies losses is sadly lacking. The history I was taught in school is all that the USA had to save the war effort and did all the fighting. Obviously we were essential for the victory over evil, but we did for sure did not do it all on our own.

They shall not grow old was a fantastic documentary. I need to see if I can purchase it as I want to see it again.
Re: Unobtainium spirits: I had the opportunity to buy a sample pack of Pappy's IIRC I had a shot of 3 vintages of Pappy's as well as their famous 23 y/o family reserve, 4 shots in all.
I was only impressed with the 23 y/o when I tasted the younger vintages, I felt I was not missing anything that fantastic. Then I tasted the 23 y/o and was impressed, it is the only one I would bother to get.
