| 18 Jul | WWII | Battlefront | Roxanne | Guadalcanal 13 Sept 1942 Guadalcanal 9/13/42: The Japanese have designed a three-pronged attack on the defenses of Henderson Field. Two battalion-size forces are to attack at each end of the defense perimeter and one from the jungle toward a ridge held by a under strength Marine Raider and Parachute battalion. The coastal forces get lost and their attacks are ineffective. The jungle attack makes marked progress and is barely beaten by a disparate Marine defense. |

| Awesome Quotes |

We sleep soundly in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
– George Orwell |
I cannot spare this man, he fights.
– Lincoln (concerning Grant) |

If you are able, save for them a place inside of you and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go. Be not ashamed to say you loved them, though you may or may not have always. Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own. And in time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind. – Major Michael Davis O'Donnell; 1 January 1970; Dak To, Vietnam

When you've spent your time in combat Behind a sandbagged wall Bullets with your name on it Don't bother you at all When you've dodged your share of bullets The one thing that you'll learn The ones that really worry you Read "To whom it may concern" – A. Nonomous |

Lord Chelmsford: See here, Cetewayo, old man. Your
point value at Isandlwana was entirely beyond the
pale. Why you had far more points on the field than I
did. In the future I would appreciate it if you would
be a bit more punctilious in determining just how many
warriors you can have in any one fight. Simply contact
my aide and he will inform you of the number of points
we will be fielding. I then expect you to field no
more points than we. That's a good chap.
Cetewayo: What? – Philip Hall on the subject: "Points Values" from the The Sword and the Flame Yahoo Group |

When you go home, tell them of us and say, For your tomorrow we give our today. – A tombstone at Arnhem |
These things happened and they were glorious…but we fucked up the end game.
– Charlie Wilson |

"Those who dream by night, in the dusty recesses of their minds wake
in the day to find that all was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous
men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, and make it possible."
– T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) |
