Which English Lit Professor are you talking about...? more than likely the one in your imagination. Further what proof do you have that Germany was attempting to cause a revolt in British Colonies. I have referrence...you just have your mouth.
Well three of my professors at UNCA for starts, the fact that I am a history major and it came up in lectures about the prelude to WW1 and the German colonial expansionist eras for another.
This argument is getting a bit tedious and rates right up there with the one on another thread about Heinlein being anti Semitic and racist.
I know the papers I wrote for three lit courses on the motivation of H.G. Wells that was centered on this argument were passing papers and counted for half my grade for the courses, which i passed. That is all I need to know.
No names, well..I am reminded of a dear friend when I was in the army, an Intelligence Officer, he always said "There are a few in the infantry that can even read". I always observed infantry as pointing to something and say "Dat?" If you such a great student, you would at least my professor required referrences, you lacking there.........
There is a flaw with your argument, it would be easy to do an internet search to see who was teaching what courses at the time I attended UNCA.
As for your friend's low opinion of the infantry, he is the kind of officer a good trooper would not serve under. By dismissing the infantry, he is dismissing the men who do the bulk of the fighting. You are no better.
Besides there is the famous saying "Military Intelligence is an oxymoron." For the record, the Intel my team received prior to dropping onto Grenada was that there were no Cuban troops anywhere near our objective, the fact was that two companies were billeted less than two klicks away. Made for an interesting time for a 12 man team.
So, I would not put much value on a guy whose best work is conjecture and guesses. Those guys get the people who do the dirty work killed. But then that clearly does not matter to you in the least.
No, my arguement is not flawed, you don't have arguement, you can't prove anything you say. As to your not following an officer, for personal reasons, that a court-martial offense.....
Actually, I said , that the type of officer you described as having such a low opinion of combat troops, would not have been followed by the men I served with, and yes, that means a courtmartial, but our defense would be his opinion of the troops he commanded. I am sorry dude, but I do know for a fact that the type of officer you described is not very popular among the combat troops, and would most likely be asked to resign his commission, if not charged with conduct unbecoming.
The army has a very high opinion of its combat personnel, and has shown over its history its history to have a high opinion of its fighting men, and has quite often dealt with officers that cared little of the ability of those troops.
As for the other, you have called me a liar a number of times, and I no longer want to give you the ability to give you reason to do it again.
Suffice it to say we have differing opinions, and mine happens to have more support than yours does, judging by the posts in support of my opinion. So in essence I have proven my point to those that actually matter. Your opinion of me has little influence on my day, and your stated opinion in agreement to the combat forces with which I served, actually proves that I have little to do impress you nor do I care to.
There is a term that applies to officers like your friend and men like you, and I am sure you have heard it, the term is fragging. It has happened in various military branches of various countries, and the most recent incident in the American army ended with the acquittal of the accused. full account.
So why should I worry about the opinion of a person who has shown a disregard for the types of men I served with? You and your kind are beneath contempt, and no one I served with would ever serve or follow your orders, in fact once the opinions were known, complaints would go up the chain of command and the two of you would not be serving in a line unit, and probably not in the army.
SO to make it as simple as possible, go to hell, you are nothing more than a joke, a bad one at that.
