Makes Korea look like a walk in the park. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------

Post #166,646 by jake123 7/29/04 1:13:34 PM Reply	We were in both for the full haul trust me, Korea's got nothing on WWI. Read about Ypres sometime; a textbook example of why hereditary military command is a bad idea. In fact, it was so bad that the Canadian army took command away from the Brits and gave it to one of their own, the brilliant and flawed Currie. He led the Canadians to many victories, but his junior status to Haig meant that he often ended up having to shovel his troops into the furnace of battle with no hope. I found an interesting juxtaposition online, showing Passchendaele before and after the battle there in 1917: [link\|http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Image:Passchendaele_aerial_view.jpg\|http://www.wordiq.co...e_aerial_view.jpg] That took a total of something like eight hours to accomplish. --\n-------------------------------------------------------------------\n* Jack Troughton jake at consultron.ca \n [link\|http://consultron.ca\|http://consultron.ca] [link\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca\|irc://irc.ecomstation.ca] \n Kingston Ontario Canada [link\|news://news.consultron.ca\|news://news.consultron.ca] *\n-------------------------------------------------------------------
