English is the language of merchants. And the world now is a merchant world. We are not people anymore, we are 'consumers'.

When I do literature searches and have to read a journal called "Comptes rendues hebdomadaires des séances de l'academie des sciences" I feel warm and nostalgic inside. Then I see a modern journal with some blonde bimbo in a white labcoat holding a flask with food coloring solution, I almost throw up.

In fairness Napoleon was kind of a dumbass who let his soldiers freeze to death in Russia (and lose)

Not saying he wasn't a good tactician, but he also made a lot of critical mistakes. He's more comparable to Hitler than George Washington. George Washington is more comparable to Ho Chi Minh ironically.

Well yes, Napoleon fought on far larger and
important scales than Washington.
Washington is not even in Napoleon's league as far as being a military commander

>>52832567
well the founding of the United States ended up being more important than anything Napoleon fought for ironically.

But even so, George is comparable to Minh. Revolutionaries who want freedom from their colonial masters.
