I think this one is good enough to be refreshed, at least so that some more people may have a chance to discuss the historical significance.

I note that, according to the recent pundits, all of the weapons used are "classically obsolete" and remembered only by a few old-timers. There's even an instance of "tossing fresh ammo" to a combatant whose weapon ran out. (Modern weapons don't even need to have new batteries very often.) Unfortunately I can't quite posit a specific time frame for this battle.

We should also have some discussion about whether any of the participants knew what they thought they were fighting for ... and quite obviously the "generals" must be brought to trial as soon as the casualties are counted.
