Sad.

But the other side didnt learn how to shoot arrows so you should be safe.

yes, but if i remember correctly, the history teacher let me slide through as a 21st birthday gift

And in order to win, you have to run to, not fem the enemy.

As long as there is greed or the desire to control others, there will be war.

Old men make wars young men fight them.

The only virtue of war is it settles things that cannot be settled any other way – it is not fair, it just settles them. WWI is an excellent example. According to The Guns of Autumn one of the commanding generals was asked what caused the war. He answered “If only we knew.” Everybody could see it coming but nobody really knows why, even today. I have seen dozens of bogus explanations but none that really fit. Unfortunately it ended in armistice, which means nothing was settled. The same is true of Korea. There must be defeat to make war work.

Yeah, we don’t learn much, do we? Some interesting lines from a song by Hamilton Camp—

Those who put their faith in fireIn fire the faith shall be repaid. O God the pride of ManBroken in the dust again.

You did learn something, Rodney—run from the guys shooting the arrows!

Feel free to lay down your sword, Rodney. I’m sure the Huns will prove gentle overlords.
