Like patton he was great at giving the media nice soundbites, but also played politics and reflected blame, he was a mediocre at best commander however.

>wanted to nuke the yellow menace with thirty-four fucking bombs and put the fear of god into the ant swarm
>hypocrite truman got his panties in a twist and made up some bullshit about a vague coup to recall the crazy asshole and save his chink buddies
do it again mac

>>2775888
This. MacArthur and Patton are cases of commanders who are known more for their public persona than any actual talent.

Neither had a strategic thought in their fucking heads and blamed everybody around them for their failures.

Rommel is potentially the only other commander more talentless relative to his fame.

because I think it's true? christianity is the only formidable religion on the planet, I think there's something to it.

>>2775872

Stout thegns split shields to prepare the wolf's feast while bold princes won rings of gold.

The most famous warriors sat high in the hall drinking deep draughts of mead from the horn as the fairest maidens served them.

The best kings kept hoards of gold to pay their slayers wages. A king with no red-fire would find himself alone.

>he wants to "Discuss" the holocaust

>>2775725
>talking with normies about the holocaust
How did that even happen?

I used to believe the evil nazis had gased 6 million jews because I was swayed by jewish propaganda but now I'm an impartial guy who can see that jews distort history. Now I realize that the Holocaust is a hoax, that some hundred thousands of people died because of the Allies bombing the supply lines, resulting in the spread of starvation and typhus. I realize now that actual genocide was carried by jewish communists who killed over sixty million people un Russia. People should overcome the indoctrination of jewish propaganda.

Shit game, wrong board.

Don't bother using actual strategies and tactics in HOI4. Just make a front and offensive line and press play. If you really want to use strategies and tactics, play HOI3. Also, >>2775696 is right. Post this on /v/.

Just draw an arrow to moscow and unpause the game.

By definition you are you, if you were me, you would still be you and I would cease to exist.

>>2775578
Yeah but are you him?

I was referring more to the sense of self.

Obligatory Hannibal getting shown up by scipio mention

>>2775390
More people know about Hannibal then they do about Scipio.

What about Benedict Arnold?
He got overshadowed by Washington, who was average at best. Good with morale, capable with strategy, sucked at tactics.

Well you're free to be a farmer if you'd like.

Nobody's forcing you to be on 4chan. If you want to live a simpler life you should start by spending less time on your computer

Live in a farm and stop posting in a mongolian discussion board.

Have you ever heard of Tom Pendergast and his political machine? The Congregation of the Mother Co-Redemptrix? The clusterfuck that was the state during and after the civil war?

I took a Michigan history class in college and there were a couple interesting tidbits. My favorite was the Strangites. basically here's the lowdown
>Mormons form
>Leader dies
>Most go along with Bringham Young and fuck off to the West
>Guy named James Strang throws his name into the lottery and picks up some followers
>They go to Beaver Island ff MI's west coast
>Set up a pretty nice little community
>Strang is also fucking all of the bitches on the island though so his male followers are pissed about constantly getting cucked by their leader
>He literally declares himself the King of Beaver Island
>Michiganders on the mainland are mostly Irish immigrants who are pissed about a cult leader being right next to them
>Local elections for State Rep for their county
>Literally everyone on Beaver Island votes for Strang
>Strang now has actual political power in the Michigan state gov
>fellow reps generally think he's a pretty stand up dude and his legislation is actually pretty good
>Irish Michiganders are even more pissed though
>eventually one of the followers he was cucking kills him
>few days later the Irish Michiganders get really drunk
>Decide to raid Beaver Island
>Grab torches and pitchforks
>Get a small fleet of boats
>Sail over and tell the people to get out if they don't want to be burned
>Mormons comply
>Town gets burned down
>Mormons set up another nice small community a little further south in Michigan where they still are today

What kind of person was he? And why him?

>>2775226
He was a loyal stalinist who was able to predict and execute what stalin wanted in any situation without stalin ever having to ask him to.

>>2775344
Which means that sooner or later he would decide that he was too smart and was planning a coup.
