I loearned that in WWI, if caught by the enemy having a serated bayonet, you would have your eyes and nose "removed".

ww1 was probably one the largest exercise's of orchestrated cruelty, brutality, murder and stunning stupidity achieved by humanity so far.

not so sure about that... watched any sitcoms lately?

One of the best videos I've ever seen on the theory and rationalization of killing tens of thousands of civilians a night for weeks.

The Fog of War

I won't play Monday morning quarterback, I'm sure I would have made similar choices.

That the dictionary is a lie created to control people.
Do not believe it's lies, as they are subliminal
They are taught by the devil's minions in "Schools"
Grammar, punctuation, and letters are all the eyes of Lucifer
Whenever you use these things, Lucifer is controlling you.
He pulls the strings and runs your life like a puppeteer.
Gather your dictionaries!
Cast them back to hell with the fir from wence it came!

Wow, that was pretty interesting.

Yes, it's an eye opener on the rationale of attempting to reduce the allied death to zero at the cost of horrendous death tolls on the enemy.

Dropping the nukes in WWII was for shock value, the death tolls from those two bombs were but a small fraction of the death total of civilians from the fire bombings

To cut to the chase, move the slider the 38 minute mark.

I learned that the largest calvary charge in history took place at the Battle of Vienna.

Somewhat related movie about the aftermath of the firebombings. 'Grave of the Fireflies'. It's a masterpiece.

Yes, it was a good anime. A bit depressing though.

Youtube has the entire film,

WWI: as in the Civil War, tactics not adapted to technology == high casualties (or, 'oopsies!)

WWII: kids attacking sleeping giant and bear get creamed (or, 'underestimating your enemy')

Cuban Missile Crisis: 2 bears grumbling as they pass each other

Vietnam: cowboy kicking a fire ant hill

Iran/Iraq War: let's you and him fight

Desert Storm: resource management

Currently: jihad joe vs GI joe

I learned that life gets better with time and that everyone is talking about WW2

Not sure that analogy really works.

That Team Fortress 2 takes eleven hours to install.
