Military Strategies

[General_Sun]

Umm... Guys, you are taking quotes out of context... I meant the other guy said generals are useless and he was wrong... And the rest of the sentence was mocking him... You know, being sarcastic?

*sighs

Generals are of course important, but that's not my point...

And dude, ROTK is real, just that the romance part came from the book where they dramatiized everything and made it a soap opera... But all the historical stuff are real.

The_Mark makes a good point, however, the strategy that was employed by hannibal would not have worked vs a general who had read the textbook.

So your point is moot. Good discussion everyone. Of the 3 forums that I've posted this on, you've come closest to convincing me that I am wrong. Congraluations.

Either you are truly thick, or just are having a laugh caused by your semantic confusion. To be so arrogant with such a weak premise is amazing. Have you read "The War with Hannibal" Book XXII by Livy? If you had, (or had and also understood it) I think you wouldn't so simply conclude the Consul Varro as an imbecile who hadn't the most elementary grasp of 'military doctrine,' as you put it. Please explain what you mean by 'military doctrine.'



Oh, also thank you for allowing us a chance at whittling at the position of such an almighty 'thinker'!! Where other forums failed miserably, we only failed! What an honor! Thank you, your Grand Cerebralness!

Ouch, that was fairly vicious.
But anyway, we can always see for ourselves how the other forums replied/performed, instead of basing it off someone's view.
