Welcome to the new pingees in the MilHist list. In a few minutes, I'll ping y'all to the two threads that were posted today.

Two relevant MilHist threads have been posted since the ping list started:

Archaeologists Unearth a War Zone 5,500 Years Old

Attila the Hun and the Battle of Chalons (MilHist)

The idea for this list came up on the first thread so please excuse me if you are receiving this ping twice :)

To all: please ping me to threads that are relevant to the MilHist list (and/or) please add the keyword "MilHist" to the appropriate thread. Thanks in advance.

Please FREEPMAIL indcons if you want on or off the "Military History (MilHist)" ping list.

The old Freeper Foxhole ping list would overlap with this one. Since it isn't very active right now, you might want to ask SamWolf or Snippy_about_it if they'd like to ping their people to one of your threads to see if they are interested in signing up for your ping list.

Yes, I went to the Foxhole before this ping list started. I have also sent a request to SamWolf or Snippy_about_it for more information. Thanks for the ideas.

6th and 5th GGrandfathers in the Revolutionary War. 2nd GGrandfather in the Civil War. Uncle in WWII. Uncle in Vietnam. And I've been in the service since 1980. Think my favorite time period is Civil War, followed by Rev War.

"Geez, were we forgotten so soon?"

Not really.....:) I sent y'all a couple of previous pings. In any case, if the Foxhole is still active and is open to covering global military history, we can have a combined list and I can give you the names of new pingees.

OTH, if you do not plan on covering topics like ALexander, Genghiz Khan, the Huns, and others, then we may continue using this list. I am open to ideas.

btw: if we are doing military history just read a new book out "shattered sword" story of battle of midway, although mostly from japanese side. incredibly well written, and the sections about the actual devastation aboard akagi, soryu, hiryu and kaga are mindblowing. the strategy part is pretty good too.

specially when your ealize the risks nimitz and spruance took while greatly outnumbered . and how good their military intel was.

wonder if we still have the same capabilities these days.
