Napoleon = Hitler with less lederhosen.

Bullshit. Napoleon actually took Moscow.

But he failed to hold it.

I would call it a draw if Hitler had taken Leningrad -_-

If he had taken Leningrad, when did he invent the time machine?
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I thought the exact same thing :P
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Same, while thinking the exact opposite about the condition of the uniforms.  :P

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Soldiers dressed much snazzier back then.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I suspect their uniforms were more tattered, less clean, and less pressed at the actual battle.

Nice to see the entire Bundeswehr showed up to play the Prussians.

Half of them could not go as they work part time and had to pick up their children from kindergarten.
