CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

Just started a re-read of "With the Old Breed". Haven't read it in about 20 years. Been meaning to do it for a while. My son and I took a guys history trip this summer to Mobile and saw Sledge and Sid Phillips graves as well as hit up some civil war sites and the USS Alabama. Of course my then 13y/o son's favorite thing was visiting a Piggly Wiggly supermarket.

An interesting description from Erickson's Road to Berlin, illustrating the utterly massive scale of operations on the Eastern Front.

Describing the Kursk salient: "The huge salient (about half the size of England)" (p. 64)

"Half the size of England." Smeggin' 'ell.
