Rare footage of the Red Baron has come to light

That film is so awesome! Just to think that it is 100 years old. And I noticed two things about it, how shiny his plane was, as you could see reflections in the side when they were pulling it out...and second, those pilots were basically a bunch of young chuckleheads having fun, none of them could keep a straight face for the camera.

I was struck by how much the laughing young German pilots looked like any group of laughing young pilots of any country. Aside from the uniforms and markings on the aircraft you couldn't tell one from another                                                              .

It is such a shame that we humans have this need to fight one another. 

I really do not feel sad when I  hear of an older person kicking the bucket. We have lived out lives and now after a suitable number of years we die. It is natural. Such is our existence on this planet.

But to see young people die, that hurts. 

Do you think maybe that is the reason aliens circling our planet do not try to make direct contact with such a violent race of creatures such as us humans?
