Pretty much every version of Battle Hymn of the Republic is awesome. The Engineering Corps version is still sung by Canadian engineering students. e: Paratroopers version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWgsdexkv18 Really odd engineering version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMVVCG4WnwM Cat Wings fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Nov 15, 2013 |

uPen posted:Are we talking about during the Civil War with Canada and Britain coming in for the Confederates? If you mean in the modern day Canada spends something like 2% of the amount the US spends on their military. That first part would be interesting actually. What would've happened if Britain had decided to make a concerted effort to take back the colonies? Say right after the Napoleonic wars had ended.

When Diplomacy Fails just finished up an excellent podcast series on The July Crisis that led to WW1. From what I got from it, Austria-Hungary wanted to crush Serbia to prevent their own empire from breaking apart. Germany then got sucked in, along with everyone else.

So why was Germany so fixated on the schlieffen plan? They seemed very single minded about only using that plan, no deviations, no matter what. If they hadn't invaded Belgium, maybe they could have defeated France before Britain decided to join in.

I have a grandfather who was supposed to land on D-Day, but his regiment got reshuffled and he landed a week later. He was on payroll!  . Also have a great-grandfather who was drafted into the tsar's army during WW1, also fought the Bolsheviks during the revolution. Eventually managed to escape to Canada.

Apparently the majority of the Canadian and American ones trace their lineage to the The Devil's Brigade. There was a pretty decent film made about it.

For spacecraft, you have to remember that they have no gravity to contend with, so they have a lot more space then they appear to have when we look at it on the ground. The Apollo capsules were apparently quite roomy and nice, although Gemini was apparently as cramped as it looks. Two weeks in that was apparently kind of hellish.
