Oh, yes -- he was writing about the Battle of Omdurman, where the British killed or wounded some 25,000 Ottoman soldiers while suffering about 50 casualties themselves. The Brits had rifles and Maxim guns, the Ottomans spears and few old muskets.

As I noted earlier, whatever makes you think that whatever is said here will make any difference at all? Those in the US know the problem and are working to correct it. Bill D. is correct.
