There is only one way of avoiding the war – that is the overthrow of this society. However, as we are too weak for this task, the war is inevitable. -L. Trotsky, 1939

Unbelieveable.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

I only just heard of this story, yes. I'm intimately aware that this sort of thing happens regularly.
Still, it sucked to be him...

It probably sucked more for those who were killed after 1100. I don't know for certain of any, but there was at least one British artillery unit that kept firing until 1300 before news of the armistice reached them.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:Yeah, that highly sucked for him.

Battle of New Orleans, anyone?
I can't stand nothing dull

I'll massacre your ass as fast

Battle of Toulouse for that matter - far bloodier than New Orleans and just as pointless.
