A very very good reason to have a large United Nations Armed Forces.
A military force which must be supported by all nations, large and small.
There is a plan to put such a force together now, it will save billions of dollars and lives if it goes through.
Canada wanted this back in the 1950s but several nations did not want it.  Now it has to happen because no nation can sustain a lengthy war.
Let us hope we can settle all our differences before we move into space.

As for the mass casualties of the First World War I don't think we will ever see that again. 
Where Generals lined troops up and have them walk across an open field into machine gun fire is a thing of the past.
They say that could not have been prevented, but from talking to veterans of that war, yes it could have.  They only had to drag the Generals out of the castles/chateaus, replace the wine bottle with a sword and stick them in front of the troops.
That would have ended the frontal assaults.

Yes we have our freedom of speech, freedom of movement and freedom to act and do what we wish within the boundaries of the law because of the men and women who wear a uniform, took up the torch of freedom and are marching on just like those that went before them.

Remembrance day is not just November the 11th, it is everyday, there isn't a day go by that I don't think about and thank in my own little way, the men and women who watch over us every minute, every hour, every day and about the one's who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Was and is their sacrifice worth it, yes I think it is, I believe mankind is actually starting to smarten up.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
