  • "I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but HONEST and WISE men ever rule under this roof." --- John Adams

    Clearly Americans have failed John Adams.

  • @NJRocks281 LMAO Lincoln went to wr to keep the south in the union.. but what he did destroyed the republic.. because the republic was formed specifically to have states be the most powerful entitty and after lincolns war states were basically meaningless

  • @ElTee842 as said before... sorry the credentials thing blew up in your face.. facts remain I am published in multiple scholarly journals, and have 30+ months at the ww1 aviation archives at UT-Dallas called "FERKO COLLECTION" with that info translated and published in english for the first time. a study on,German/Austro Hungarian air services.. im trying to be nice. Politics is opinion. i agree to disagree w/ u. I truly am glad to see other interested in history and i wish u the best

  • @23mbtx23 I asked for 'your' credentials initially, not your fathers. Your father could be the greatest historian in the world, but that doesn't mean you are. Why would I say congrats on military history? That doesn't even make sense.

  • @ElTee842 As stated I'll go ahead and be honorable for the two of us.. congrats on your history degree.. in all honesty it is good to see any American who even knows or cares about history. I dont know your favorite subject within the field but I do hope you have the energy and interest to publish/speak on the subject as I do. The more interest in history the better.All the best -MB

  • @ElTee842 correct, thats dad,one of the most decorated books on the Gettysburg campaign. You go from theres no way your published to "oo your dad helped you" think whatever you want.. the truth is my work is in a different field and is completed by myself. Im sorry you tried to pull out the "i have more credentials than you" maneuver and it blew up in your face. You COULD say congrats on military history but we agree to disagree on politics.. but I see yo wont do that so Ill be the bigger man

  • @23mbtx23 Oh, so daddy helped you get published. That's nice.

    And the book is not by you. It is by Scott Bowden and Bill Ward. Your name says 'Matt' so I assume Scott is your father.

  • @ElTee842 Credentials to have a book published? I dont do the highly subjected world of University press' and the entire field of higher education since most college level profs have such egos that it is truly a "my way or the highway". As a son of an author of over 25 books published on Napoleonics and Civil War military history, I naturally am acquainted with all the publishers who published him and have had the advantage of exposure to the publishers that way. Still have to do the work tho

  • @ElTee842 Military history major, Political sci is simply an interest. LMAO serious scholarly work? Journal of military history?military history press uncertain?I hate to shatter your ego but I could care less how you feel about the subject of military history and where it ranks on your "importance scale". You may go to each scholarly journal/magazines webpages and order yourself copies.. come to Texas and ill sign them for ya. ;) You may also check out amazon.com "last chance for victory"

  • @23mbtx23 So then, your degree is in military history then? And a journal is interesting, though the book publishing company seems...uncertain. I'm quite at a loss, since you don't seem to have the credentials to have a book published in a serious scholarly work. Is there a place to review these articles?

  • @ElTee842 not a university.. journal of military history and the company: military history press.... "Great War's Finest: "A study of Imperial German and Austro-Hungarian air services in ww1" will be out spring 2012. 5 articles in journal of military history/cross&cockade magazine/Great War magazine in UK
