As we can see I decided to put two pictures of Generals enjoying themselves and savouring all the alcohol they can hold while they have soldiers who are dying on the frontline. In WW1 many generals weren’t actually trained but were picked for the job due to their wealthy background.

These images communicate to our audience that it would be ethically/morally wrong to do this nowadays, but back then it was seen as merely a part of daily life for generals. The audience is made to think about the thin line between right and wrong and where the limit is. Soldiers had almost no rights and it makes us think wether soldiers today get the credit they deserve for putting their lives in danger for their country.

Clearly it was wrong for generals to be enjoying themselves while thousands of soldiers were being slaughtered on the frontline, but, have things really changed since then? Should soldiers get more credit for their duties? Should generals be put under strict control so that they don’t abuse their power?
