What does /his/ think about the "destruction" of confederate memorials and statues and the whole flag thing?
It happens when libtards get access to history
Another example of certain members of society erasing the history of a nation state to further promote globalism and multculturalism
Undistinguishable from ISIS's culture-killing antics, save for the less artifact smuggling.
Not only history is written by the victors, it is also erased by them.
What are some "iconic American images" that were seen by a huge audience via television?
I'll start with the moon landing. I can't really thinking of any in the last 16 years though besides 9/11.
1990 Destruction of the Berlin Wall
Challenger exploding

Read "Revolt of the Majors: How the Air Force Changed After Vietnam."
It's about how the USAF changed after Vietnam.
https://etd.auburn.edu/bitstream/handle/10415/595/MICHEL_III_55.pdf
It's essentially an origin story for the modern USAF. The part that you seem to want is the part where it talks about how each successive president impacted the USAF.
For example, it talks about how Kennedy and McNamara introduced the concept of controlled escalation ("nukes should...

What were the largest scale military conflicts (considering the amount of people, countries, area involved) of each respective century?
>>1398085
WWII was, by far, the largest scale military conflict of all time. No other conflict comes even close. Napoleonic Wars were the largest scale conflict of the 19th century. Kind of stupid to list them out separately as they were really just one big conflict. 7 Year's War was the largest scale conflict of the 18th century and you could claim it to be the first true World War as it contained belligerents and battles on every continent. I cbf going back any further than that. Do your own research.
Every century has one huge war.
20th century - WW1 and WW2 (These are the same conflict)
19th century ( Napoleonic wars)
18th century - 7 years war
17th century - 30 years war
16th century - Wars of religion

Free will, man. All He can offer at the moment is a choice between good and evil. The bad part is that you can't always tell which is which.
For his amusement
>>1397979
The obvious answer is because there's no such thing. It's that simple.
This is what an H-39 Class Battleship would have looked like.
This is what a Yamato-class hotel would have looked like~~~

No this is what it would have looked like.

Pretty basic backstory I guess desu.
Like most people he had too much emphasis on the Achaemenids imo. They had a ton of clay but I just don't find them as interesting as the sassanids or safavids.
Daily reminder that this is what boys in ancient Greece looked like.
What, they looked like androgynous Slavs?
That's nice, but I would still prefer pussy everytime.

Swordfags explain this
Halfswording. Helps target accurately and go through the gaps in armor.
Now get back to /k/.
It's called half swording.
The fighter grips the blade about halfway up to get better handling and stab at the weak points of the armor like the armpit or the neck.

Right, because this is worse than the "which branch of Christianity is best" threads
Hoplology is at least as much a humanity as that
