The March of the Britzis

There's an important point that a lot of people fail to realize. It wasn't the Germans who first originated the concept of the concentration camp. It was the British. Yeah, that's right, folks. At the tail end of the second Boer War in 1901 (and in an effort to end the guerrilla warfare that the Boers had gravitated to), the British proceeded with what can only be described as a scorched-earth policy. They started by burning to the ground some 60,000 homes and farms and then followed that up by apprehending all of the women, children, and elderly and putting them into concentration camps where they eventually turned into skeletons (nearly 30,000 deaths due to malnutrition and the elements). It was one of the most horrifying military tactics (getting the Boers to surrender by tormenting their women and children) in recent human history and isn't is about time that people knew about it?...............................................................................P.S. Oh, and if you're thinking to yourself, "It's just the Boers, who in the hell cares about them?", it also must be stated that the British had a second set of concentration camps that were used exclusively for the Zulus (fearing that the Zulus would fight on the side of the Boers), and a lot of those folks died as well.
