Were American soldiers really dressed as rag-tag as they were presented in this movie? Are their uniforms authentic or was this a move by the director to make it look grittier? They looked like the marines from Alien.
Also how bullshit was pic related? Why didn't the dude go to a higher officer and go "This is like the second time I've seen a tank and now I've been assigned to one as a co-driver, surely there's been a fuck-up?"
There's always a big difference in deportment between the field and the rear echelon.
100% uniformity was rarely a thing and people equipped themselves as they see fit/mission parameters.
Just look at the fact that Tonkers tied logs or sandbagged their hulls to nullify shaped charges. Factory buikt tanks dont come with those

The "big battle" sequence was really stupid. Apart from that ok-movie, that tries hard to be this generation's Saving Private Ryan.
If a Nubian king once ruled over Egypt, then why is it stupid to assume black people didn't live in ancient Egypt and became Egyptians?
>>1145509
It's not, it's just stupid to assume that because Nubians once ruled Egypt that therefore the ancient Egyptian civilization was black.
>>1145509
Nobody denies the existance of black people in egypt but the problem is when people assume ALL egyptians were black because it's in africa.

>A land for armenians, so they won't cry out as they do now.
>A land for kurds, so they won't chimp out as they do now.
>Levant not divided into irrational countries, but rather big and more senseful ones.
>The culture of Byzantine and Ottomans would be preserved in International Constantinopolitan Sate, probably would be one of the richest places in the world, unlike being an overcrowded shithole like it is right now.
>United Arabia wouldn't be in control of Sheikhs that empowered by Britain, like it is nowadays.
One just can dream...

Any basis for this idea ?

No.

When I found this image, it seemed like the Swiss author talked up Charlie to be a very magnificent person. What little I got from the old German involved his fashion, his strength, and the care he gave to his daughters.
I am not sure if you are asking for a basis FOR the myth of Charlemagne, or if you are asking for a basis AGAINST the idea that he is a myth. Clear it up for me a little.
Also, he was objectively real so there's that. Not sure how one can argue such a thing
Why did he hate Poles so much?
>>1144831
He wanted to unify all the Germans and Poland didn't let him take their clay for it.
>>1144873
Well it's hard to let someone take your clay when you don't exist
>>1144888
It did exist not long ago and their ethnic identity was still strong.
One thing I never got. "Good" and "evil" are entirely subjective, and the majority of people (not versed in ethical philosophy) base their morality primarily on their feelings, yet there seems to be a general consensus on what constitutes either of those things to a confusingly large degree. I just plain don't understand, for example, how euthanizing the severely mentally handicapped is wrong; we kill viruses and cancerous cells, so why not them? I wouldn't ask that question IRL, of course, but I don't understand why it, along with other things, is such an offensive idea to so many people.
Because muh religion says so
So basically spooks

First of all
>were
They still are.
Secondly, because their entire culture is about placing the state above the individual.
Asians don't give a fuck about Johnny Chink getting crushed during construction as long as goals are met on time and preferably under budget.
"Value of individual human life" is a foreign concept in those cultures.

I recently read Hannibal by Gisbert Haefs and I came to the conlusion that there is something that escapes me whenever I read about war no matter if the book is historically accurate or just a fantasy book.
Like Im only seeing the logistics of war and armies from a lot of points of view without ever getting the big picture, for example, I search some of the battles and I always see these cool maps with army placements and how they progress as a battle unfolds and they always fascinate me, it makes me want to some research on the subject, so I started reading the Art of War, and while its principles are considered universal I also want to read something more specific and down to the nitty-gritty.
Do you know of any books that would help me scratch this itch? any period would do.
So far I picked up How Great Generals win, by Alexander Bevin, besides the Art of War.
Now that I remember a friend of mine mentioned the Osprey books, are they good for what Im looking for besides the pretty pictures?
>>1142856

Is he any good?

And pic related are pretty good.
