    I don't know who that guy is but an American officer talking about French philosophers is definitely cool!

    And so what *if* the military is recruiting from "the left?" I mean, where do you think its roots lie? Why, from those crazy progressives who believed that a people should have self determination & not be ruled by a monarch, & who read subversive French writers like Montesquieu

    je pense que la déco d'un hôtel avec un soldat nazi peut t'intéresser.

    Back in Bologna and the hotel reception is decorated with a picture of a WW2 German soldier wearing a tank destruction badge. That is slightly weird.

    When Fascist terror returned to Italy. Lest we forget.

    Learning about the 2 August 1980 terrorist attack at Bologna Central station. The fourth biggest terrorist attack in Europe. The memorial is beautifully made.

    There were 53 major conflicts in Europe. France will have been a belligerent in 49 of them, and the UK in 43. Among the 185 battles that France has delivered over the past 800 years, its armies will have gained 132 of them, and will have lost 43, leaving only 10 undecided battles
