That is a very good summation. I think historiography affects historians more than historical actors and for that reason is worthy of study. The “big names” in history such as Keegan, Fuller, Marshall, Shelby Foote, and Ambrose among others influence the way other historians write and thus the histories that the layman reads. In that respect historiography is important. Perhaps my views are evolving? :-
I thought about but was then just happy to have them take it down and put a link on their site to mine where the paper is posted.
I sometimes like to poke the libs but mostly I just get exasperated and then start feeling violent. I simply cannot fathom how people can hold onto some of the ideas they do in the face of all evidence that refutes their position.
Probably not, but it is still history and should be remembered. I did notice that it was on the front page of Wikipedia in their things that happened on this day section.
I know that none of the 5 Germans I work with knew the date and one had to look it up online because he thought I was BS'ing him. 😀
The right answer is to call BS loudly and clearly every time we see garbage like this. You can't counter this stuff, you just have to loudly and persistently call it's perpetrators the liars they are and be prepared to deploy facts to back the calls up.
That would be cool if you could link my site on your military gala pages. I am up to about 5-10k visitors a month on my site. My paper on the Battle of Waterloo is still my biggest traffic generator though. I even found that paper offered for sale on a cheating site once. they took it down after I asserted copyright and threatened to sue. 😀
Well yeah, they slow me down after 150gb I think. I have never even come close to that though. I think my highest traffic in one month was something like 45gb.
When modernist professors teach any history or historically-related course with a political agenda that assigns blame, they are chipping away at our very own cultural foundations.Â
That right there is the problem in a nutshell. Modern education is by and large not about teaching people facts or how to think but what to think. Education is one long exercise in agit-prop for modern academia and very few people are willing to say it out loud and those that do are attacked as being anti-education. It is not just in college and not just in America. My son's religion teacher (Catholic) has recently told her class both that as soon as he leaves the house and has his own place he is no longer family and that the Catholic Church has a tolerance policy towards homosexuality and as long as two people love each other homosexuality is not a sin. I lost it about both things and spoke to our parish priest who is responsible for supervising Catholic Education in our local school.
Have you been hearing Piers Morgan lately on this issue? It just so happens that the guy who's promoted to take Larry King's old spot is a good ol' fashioned liberal. Go figure.
I saw his original interview with where he kicked it all off and since then have been ignoring him ever since.Interesting experiment and I thought it was very clever to have girls do the shooting.The girl with the M-4s shooting stance was all wrong, she did not plant her rear foot correctly and had an unstable stance. If I was RSO on that range she would have gotten chewed out for poor shooting. She also takes too long to get back on target between shots given that she has a reflex sight mounted.I don’t know anyone that duck hunts with 00 Buck either. Buckshot does do a pretty good job of tearing somebody up though, we used 00 Buck to breach doors in Iraq.
Those are portions. I have two of them up as rotating headers on my website right now. I put them up this morning. One is from Neuve Chapelle and the other is from the Somme.
