Which of Napoleon's generals were closet atheists?

Why did God, if he exists, allow this to happen in the first place?

haven't in years.  It used to be a great site, but then turned to diatribes and phony "history."  there is no site like the old Napoleon Series, alas.

God is a Grognardtard.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Well in all fairness He just gave Al Gore free will.

Bernadotte's is the only Napoleonic marshal's baton I have seen in the flesh so he gets my vote as the greatest ever marshal.

They made them out of Flesh?  Ewww.
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

The fact that Nappy only had a tiny baton made him more aggressive.

Isn't this more fun than religion?

It certainly beats the shit out of ACW threads.  I mean, how many ACW hijacks bashing McClellan, praising The Hammer and The Anvil, and goofing on Stonewall's pickets can you have?

I always have room for laughing at the deaths of Stonewall and Stuart.

You tell me. The 'bricole' war, for example, was unbelievably pathetic.
