Steve, I am not a military historian or any other kind.
Normal, intelligent, open minded people go to the historians for History.
You think and believe you have no need of them.
It tells us something about you.
Musket and Jim are similarly deluded.
You are exactly like 7 stars Pete who does not need to read geology and palaeontology because he just knows what happened.


In my earlier post, 4.42am there is a professional military historian who from original sources says that the men believed in what they were trying to do, and another who says it led directly to the total defeat of the invader.
Did you even bother with the link?
