What I meant is that even the thickest peasant in the most remote village of rural France has probably got a mild idea of why WW2
might have been worth fighting... While WW1 was a case of sneezing in a Mexican stand-off.
You could argue that dead is dead; whether his death served a just cause or not hardly makes a difference to a corpse. For those who think different, WW1 might just be the worst war ever.
If by this you mean "war is never a pleasant thing", we agree.
Yet, call me naïve but I still believe some wars are dirtier than others (spirit-wise, that is. Gore-wise, that's mostly a matter of technology).
