like a traffic accident
everybody looks
to see if they can
see some human remains
why is that

Curiosity killed the cat

Citations? I'm talking legitimate historical citations for your assertions and not propaganda....As a "History Professor" you should be embarrassed if this is the basis of your thesis and documentation....

Show me a major battle in ANY conflict where the Marine Corps wasn't saved or assisted by another arm of the United States Military.

The Marines left three men behind...They expected a typical operation that involved poorly equipped and trained brown skins...


My college adviser and mentor was one of the Air Force helicopter pilots shot down during the operation. He claimed I reminded him of his crew chief when I went in to get him to sign off on my classes. It wasn't until I saw the "Heroes Under Fire" episode where he was awarded his second silver star and his crew chief was killed that I understood some wisdom he tried to impart to me..

Lol@ you trying to use six grade psychology on me. Who do you think you are Mr. Rodgers? Lol@ you trying to put me out there on Front St. Laughing my ass off that you actually call yourself an historian with your nut-ass YouTube videos.

You want citations? Do you want Turabian or Rampolla style? You want superscription with notes and a bibliography? We are writing proper essays, right? Therefore, no contractions are allowed, no conjuction-junction what's your function allowed. No textual references to yourself, you might have a hard time with that one. I will bust out the red ink pen and tax the hell out of you.

Histriography: how historians look into the past. How does your essay contribute to people's knowledge?

Monograph: based on primary sources. Primary sources: Government records, church records, oral interviews, newspapers.

As you can see, your YouTube videos did not make the list.

Synthesis: based on secondary sources.

Interpretation: where did you get the source? Is it a reliable source? Is it a credible source?

We are talking about Vietnam, right? Kha Sanh is considered the biggest battle in the Vietnam Conflict by the majority of VN historians. It was the Marines show, the Army played a minor role by clearing a little air strip. You once said, "the Army carried the weight in every major war America was involved in." It appears, the Marines carried the weight in Vietnam. The link below gives you numerous sources and different opinions on how Khe Sanh went down.

Khe Sanh Casualty Count...

All these historians agree on one thing, the core kicked the NVA's ass all over the place while the Army stood on the sidelines with awe. Tet was a simultaneous attack on a lot of South Vietnam cities, of course the Army was involved, but Khe Sanh was the granddaddy of them all..

I am pretty sure you said in the Zombie thread, " the Marines took more casualties than the Army did in every war." It appears, the Army took more than twice as many KIA's than the core did in Vietnam. The link below is a primary source (government doc). Hit branch service and it will give you the Kia's per branch.

Statistical information about casualties of the Vietnam War

To my dismay I had to use this link to prove you wrong again..

I don't believe you answered my question
why is it known as
"lightning war"
aka blitzkrieg

 

[Spartacus]

I will answer for you
because lightning is fractured
you go around the strong points

 

[Spartacus]

quick too

 

[Spartacus]

and then you isolate the so called strong points
like cindylou will strangle my cock

Curiosity killed the cat

most cats die of "natural causes"
unless you know what I don't know

Are you saying curiosity is natural?
