MSgt David Haupt thank for sharing. I am a history guru! I saw the sinking of the Bismarck by the HMS Hood in the North Sea on the history channel. Appreciate this link

I enjoy military history. I found like an 8 episode series on the Romans on youtube that I found educational as it starts from the Rise of Rome and the fall of Rome. I have a bad memory so watching it over would probably be nice.

History is cool because it gives us paradigms that are applicable to the modern era such as insurgency. Insurgencies start with the elite in society and cater to disenfranchised people. They start asymmetrical warfare and continue to grow with new recruits. The intent for the leaders is to field a conventional sized army to fight the government and its army. Now compare that to what is going on in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I guess I like to AAR military history extract lessons learned or tactics and strategies that worked or did not work. I enjoy reading/watching about significant weapons systems and strategies nations take before a war (WWII) like the Brits did not believe aircraft carriers were the most important ships, The French built the Maginot line in a war of mobility, the Americans trained on amphibious landings before the war, and we have to credit Germany for developing Blitzkrieg who started an institutionalized AAR soon after WWI.
