Hey Wash! Long time no see!

I did get a DM from depraved going "Where are you? Your coup is happening." So yes XD

To be fair, for a brief, shining moment, people were beating down the door to try to understand something I had a hand in XD

I'd have to look at his record during reconstruction a bit more. I know a lot of historians are reevaluating his performance as president, but I feel that Lincoln was the right man at the right place to hold the country together.

Oh Johnny, you can't play that game on me. I know you too well. But if you want to convince yourself you've got everyone fooled, be my guest. I've already seen how fast the gears work to rationalize what's been done to have faith that there's self-awareness behind the post.

Johnny, you do know the army Wellington commanded had more Dutch, Belgians, and Germans in it than the British? Truly, if Waterloo was anyone's victory, it was that of the Germans. Hence my quote about "Give me night, or give me Blucher,"--Napoleon in essence fought two battles that day, one at Waterloo against the Anglo-Dutch-German Army commanded by the Duke of Wellington and that of the Prussians at Plancenoit. Wellington desperately tried to minimize the role played by the Prussians under Blucher after the battle--as evidence by the woefully underrepresentation of the Prussian sacrifice in the brutal fighting of the tiny Walloon village, as well as those of the Hanoverians, Nassauers, Belgians, and Netherlanders in the battle. My issue with the Prussians is simply that Germanophilia is a breeding ground for some of the worst mythology of recent history--which is often linked to the alt-right and neo-fascism. Plus, in HF i'd much rather play as the Russians than them, as the Russians did much of the heavier lifting of the Napoleonic Wars, especially in the 1805, 1807, 1808, 1812, and 1813-14 campaigns, where as after 1806 Prussia was almost a non-entity in the wars until the Russian triumph of the 1812-1813 campaign made it safe enough for them to try and oppose French dominance. The only people I feel get a shorter stick in the history of Napoleonic Wars are the Austrians--who perhaps fittingly are not even represented in the game. I find it amusing that once again, you fail to keep your mouth shut, when everyone including your bosses are trying to keep this as civil as possible. To clarify, Napoleon is not a 'hero' of mine. I admire his military and civil achievements greatly, but he was too flawed a man to be truly called a hero. As a historian put it--he is a "Great Bad Man." I definitely think he gets the short stick historically, which is why I enjoy being the contrarian to the "Rah Rah Rule Britannia Crowd"--perhaps ask the Dutch and Danish if felt liberated when the British seized their colonies and burned their fleets while they were occupied/defending against a potential French invasion. I much prefer Ulysses Grant and George Thomas--rough, humble men (as opposed to Napoleon or the Duke of Wellington) who did their duty to their country without all the fuss and pomp of European frivolity. Or, non-militarily, Abraham Lincoln, undoubtedly the president I respect the most considering the momentous task he faced and the constraints of the country he led. Lastly--the irony of you telling me I'm in exile like Napoleon? If anyone fits that comparison it is you--your own ego forced you to abdicate and for perhaps the third time in the last two months you've told us you were going to retire and leave CN for good. I tried talking you out of it before--I even told Draggie to tell you to lay off the drama, but if one were to make an exile comparison, I think that would be it. Now please, go away before I forget myself.

I'd play Prussia before I'd play British, and I hate wehraboos

To be fair, I'm not a religious man and I like Lutheran Satire, so I can appreciate the treaty

I haven't been relevant since October 2006.

Thanks for the well wishes Tevron

I hear there's a nice farm up state...https://nypost.com/2016/10/28/senior-dog-retirement-homes-let-pets-live-out-their-golden-years/

I don't know you, I don't care to know you, but you seem desperate to sniff around my AA--so in the immortal words of Buzz Lightyear

Lucius, depart in peace. We made our attempt to put things behind us, I won't have TIE being the one to air dirty laundry.

Indeed, it appears to have been an oversight.

Should have watched Kelly's Heroes with us

Get a better computer and play with us, scrub
