Never. In fact it is the worst crime you can commit, even worse than genocide. Suicide is the destruction of the entire universe.

I've been a christian for years now but I occasionally wonder if I actually believe. Having been raised atheist I've always found it hard to believe in dead people coming back to life.

Allright /his/,

next month I will be interviewing a 90+ year old german veteran.

What are some GOOD questions I could ask?

He fought on the eastfront.
He was shot twice.
He was in the HJ as a child.

Don't have more info as of yet.

pic somewhat related. Not him.

Ask him about the organizational side of things. How did he get his orders, how much of the greater battlefield did he know or was briefed about before going into combat, that kind of thing.

Also, if he was shot twice, ask him about what the standards of returning wounded to combat were.

Thoughts on the BBC documentary '1066 a year to conquer'.
I was able to get 10 minutes in before I quit.
>Harland and his forces constantly called Vikings
>'Danes another force of Vikings conquered England in the 8th century'
>typical mail coithes without any padding or actually being tied on
>calling the 3 claimants warlords and not claimnants or prospective kings
>claiming William had fought for his title since he was 7, despite being content with his regent council often changing
>shitty live action footage which is repeated at least twice in those first 10 minutes
Overall just a documentary for normies

It was Caligula. And he did it to demonstrate how little he respected the position, not because he was a crazy horse fucker or something.

Who's your favourite General, why, what did he do, what did he fuck up?
I'll start:

>didn't march on Rome though....what if, what if?

His forces, lacking siege equipment, would be staring at a bunch of stone walls. Possible milling around uselessly. Hannibal would order the construction of impromptu engines, rams and ladders and the like, and foresting parties would be sent out to gather lumber, guarded by strong detachments of cavalry.

In the days to weeks to assemble siege equipment, his army of some 40,000ish, lacking any sort of logistical support and living off of what they could barter and steal from the locals, would exhaust the food supply and starve en mass, at which point it's an even shot whether they'd mutiny against him or just disband.

Everyone would go "What an idiot" looking at him in hindsight.
>>
>>2557078
>implying a walls alone could completely stop an army that size for any significant amount of time
The Romans of the day thought their days were numbered, it was basically 23:59 on the doomsday clock to them once news of Hannibal's victory got back to Rome.
>>
>>2557118
>implying the city was empty of troops
>Implying that they weren't raising new manpower.
>Implying that the walls could not in fact keep out huge forces for significant lengths of time.

I mean for fuck's sake, they did in other conflicts like the Peloponesean wars or the first Punic Wars; it's actually hard as fuck to assault a walled city in ancient times, especially when you don't have a proper siege train, which Hannibal didn't.
