MikeCrotch posted:Reminds me of how Herbert Sobel, the hardass officer in command of Easy company in Band of Brothers, had such a miserable life postwar that he shot himself in the side of the head, but managed to miss his brain and only severed his optic nerves, rendering him blind but alive. He has an extremely depressing wiki article.

Nenonen posted:Didn't stop Napoleon III from rising to power (but then to him it was more of a benefit at that point). I would think that enough time has passed from Charles II that it won't matter here, they're not even related and he has just as much power in the United Kingdom as Mickey Mouse has in the Magic Kingdom. If Mickey Mouse was the official source of all legitimacy in government and also lobbied really hard behind the scenes to stop gay marriage

A rare look at the German WWI tank in action though not in a way one might expect.

I stopped reading Das Reich when he decided a book about an ss unit was a good place to list the vile crimes of the French resistance, but only the communist ones. You see, they stupidly insisted on attacking the Germans and shooting collaborators.

Xiahou Dun posted:The best part of Xenophon’s Anabasis is when poo poo really is hitting the fan and they start ditching supplies. Everything that’s not a weapon, armor or immediately useful for getting food goes. And the very last thing, after treasure and family heirlooms and poo poo, the dearest thing to them, was a retinue of “beautiful young boys”. Just this whole long thing about how poo poo’s getting real now ; so real they couldn’t bring their twinks. That's pretty dark
