MOVED: Greatest Fails in History

@abworsham4

I read that, and is one of my sources. Funny enough, KaLeu put a link to Quora asking the same question, and one of the answers just copied and pasted the article you sent me.

@DarthShizNit:

The Swede’s were just plain awesome in the age of musket lol. So many great commanders.

No doubt, The Great Northern Kingdom had an elite battle force.

It is early yet Garg.
The Civil War was lost in the West, starting with Nashville and Vicksburg was a greater loss than Nashville.  I agree that a Southern victory at Gettysburg would not have equated to the fall of Washington or an armistice, despite Lee’s hopes for one.

I’m lucky enough to have a great view of the Ohio River from my office and this morning I found The LST Memorial Ship docked at the local wharf. I think I’m going to have to take a tour.

It is somehow both smaller and bigger than I imagined. I think the smaller part is from how it compares to the Mississippi Queen and American Queen when they are docked and the bigger part is that the ship is taller than I’d thought.

It seems mines in general are usually overlooked in WW2 History.  Not only were mines a danger to U-boats, much of the Allied shipping losses in the first 3 years of the war were attributed to mines.

Thanks for the great post!

really interesting thanks. :-)
