My senior year of high school, I took World History at a local university
through a cooperative extension program. When we got to WWI, the professor
started the class by playing Eric Bogle's "No Man's Land," then talked
about the horrors of the war, played it again, briefly alluded to his own
experiences in Vietnam, then ended the lecture with playing it a third time.
It gutted me. "It all happened again, / And again, and again, and again,
and again"
