Post images and text depicting the horror of war
thank for doing it right unlike last faggot (me)
Gettysburg. The rifle in the photo was a prop rifle that the photographer and his team placed in many of the photographs, since most of the weapons of the fallen soldiers had already been removed of the battlefield and they wanted to place the bodies into the proper context. It's also been speculated that the photographer posed or moved some of the bodies in order to get better composition.
>Suicide in the Trenches by Siegfried Sassoon
I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

How come the mighty Russians got BTFO by puny Finland?
Here's a tip.
If you're ever in charge of a country, and you're debating whether to kill all of your competent officers and then invade someone else.
Don't do that.

I'm doing a paper comparing the military tactics of the Crusaders and Muslim armies and I need some sources. Mostly i want to talk about how the cavalry armies of the Muslims were able to raid and light attack the heavier Crusader armies and how the Crusaders had to change their tactics to meet this new enemy. any help would be greatly appreciated /his/

>heavier Crusader armies
What do you mean by "heavier"?
>>940764
One thing the Crusaders did was just hire horse archer mercenaries to bolster their army against the Islamic armies raised against them.
The Alans and Armenians were two famous peoples with light horsemen. Check into them
And which crusades are you going to focus on? There are several large religious wars in Europe and outside of it
Can somebody give me an in-depth explanation as to why the gooks got their shit pushed in so hard?
Also, WW2 thread
>>940743
America, since like 1812, realized how important a navy was, and pretty much everyone in charge up until 1941 had worked diligently to make sure it was the best navy ever.
Teddy Roosevelt, who wrote a history of the war of 1812, was assigned to the navy department where he autistically made sure it was the best navy possible. His fifth cousin, FDR, was also in the navy department in WW1 and made sure the navy grew into the best one on earth, even better than Britains ever hoped to be.
So by the time...

Did Pearl Harbor fail, or was it just not enough?
>>940861
It was marginal success. It sank 2 or 3 destroyers I think, and took one out of operation for the rest of the war but it wasn't enough. The usa didn't keep all their ships in one harbor. That's why usa went out and took over Guam and the Philippeans, to put naval bases on their islands.
Hey, philosophy majors, why did you choose that?
They were the classes that interested me most. Now I am dropping out to become an electrician and pursue philosophy in my own time.
I have other plans for my career so I took a philosophy degree because it was an area of interest, don't regret it at all

What did he mean by this?
Was he right?

For the most part.
Example: Communism was created to be a utopia of pure equality and no poverty.
Result?: Millions dead
>>942195
Communism on paper works (as with almost any ideology). Communism was meant to be for the working class, they would vote to have individuals represent them in the government. Eventually the state would "wither away" once the state became self sufficient. Communism in the pragmatic sense never work because certain individuals would use it as a means to rally the masses behind them to establish an autocracy.

exactly, every utopian dream needs to be imposed on others which sends people down a dark path
>Tesla was an ingenious philanthropist hellbent on improving mankind and making the world a free and wonderful place to live in
>Einstein was a big poo poo head >:(
Where did this meme come from and when will it end?
Possibly because people has in the most unbiased way possible came to that conclusion.
Or maybe they just are contrarians or just can't accept that a Jew came up with something super important.
I dunno.
Who the fuck shit-talks Einstein?
Also the whole Tesla thing is basically just a result of him spending a lot of time not getting enough credit for the shit he designed, so his fans overcompensated.

How do you deal with it /his/?

I just get sad.
But precisely the best of the best culture was preserved, most of the time.
Nothing to be sad about, time filters out the gold from the shit.
Thinking about this is precisely why I hate the "WE WUZ KINGS" meme and how people mock new findings about people and cultures that weren't recognized before.
What are the best films in a historical setting?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Israelism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Israelism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_Israelism
Nordic Israelism or Norse Israelism is the belief that Scandinavian peoples, or the Nordic countries (Sweden, Denmark, Faroe Islands (part of Denmark), Finland, Iceland, Norway) descend from the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. Although there is evidence of such a belief from literature during the Early Modern Period,...
