We had enough to carry us through Korea, Vietnam, And every single scuffle in the Middle East

Yeah, even with the Soviets and the rest of the allies coming over it would've been a bloodbath

Just be glad it went the way it did

Yeah

Nuking the Japs and liberating Manchuria saved millions of lives which would have been lost in the invasion of the mainland.

Which is why it’s justified and Twitter morons are dumb

Well it's Twitter. That by default is to be expected.

the standard

Lol

Indeed

Does anyone else watch the History Guy on YOutube?

yep

I love his videos

He makes History fun

yeah he does

The only history channel I actively watch on youtube is Sabaton History

The only history channel I watch is Pepe pig

Ian McCollum from ForgottenWeapons is pretty educational.

@Deleted User I learn more from them then I do in school

@thatguybrody while he is, the history he teaches mostly involves the weapon itself

Lol same

I really like the stuff on the 30 years war, cause we just got to that in History, and we skimmed over it, just saying it was a war between protestantism and catholocism, not specific countries, leaders, nothing, just the two religions that fought each other

That's horrifically simple

And with major conflicts as long and as large as those, it's never that simple

Yeah, I'm hoping that at the very least WWII is better, but we've got 500 years left to go

Anyone else find it ridiculous how many freaking medals the average north Korean general has like if we go to war we just need a magnet

Oh yeah, especially given the last time they have had any sort of battle

We just need to bring a giant magnet to the border and activate it.

But still, even war heroes like Francis Pegpegahmagabow, Lauri Torni, Simo Hayha, Bull Allen, and generals who deserve plenty of medals don't have as many, it's impractical and makes no sense

Wasn't sure where to put this so... Here are some really old things from my great grandma's

They are from the 50's or 60's

dam

that pepsi bottle could probably sell for a decent price to some collectors

They’d commit the most horrible crime of all with those; color outside the lines.

You know, it makes me feel old when hear people say that during the Civil War the North didnt have any slave states, because i remember when that was taught as the main reason why during the middle of the civil war after Gettysburg Lincoln didnt ban slavery in the North because he wanted to keep the support of his slave states along the border kf the US and the Confederacy during the war

remember he was more concerned with preserving the union at that point

Yeah

He didnt want to lose more states than he already did

Especislly since one of the border union slave states practically surrounded DC on all sides

And iirc the real reason pretty much about the Gettysburg address was to pretty much be a full propaganda move to unite the general populace of the Union, as fuckloads of people in places like New York were getting tired of their sons and husbands being conscripted to fight the south by the thousands and clashes were breaking out between the populace and the state police and military officials

Becsuse while the South lost at Gettysburg, they didnt lose without taking out massive Union numbers
