The military history thread
BeoPuppy:
He just helped create the opportunity for the nazi's to commit genocide. He might not have been a big nazi himself but he sure did nothing to oppose them. May his name and memory be erased form history.
Nikolai:
Not likely, as the US Army is fond of quoting him in doctrine.
GarandMarine:
Genghis Khan was a literal monster that would make Hitler wet his frilly lace undergarments and he's still around. Also liberally quoted and ripped off in U.S. Combat Doctrine (Maneuver Warfare? ALL OF THAT is based off tactics of the Mongols)
Zebediah:
There are plenty of examples of brave men and women who fought well for bad causes. For example, I have a fascination for the Confederate Navy - they came up with some truly innovative ship designs, largely out of necessity as they were building their navy almost entirely from scratch. And yes, the cause they served was a terrible one. That doesn't mean they should be erased from history.
Sorflakne:
How about Lt Gen Lewis "Chesty" Puller? The guy has basically attained mythic status in the Marine Corps. How the hell do we not have a movie or miniseries about him yet?
