Military History Ping List (New)

Some of us are looking for a specific ping list that discusses military history topics primarily. The focus of such a ping list would be on historical military commanders, wars, battles, strategies, tactics, and the like (as opposed to current military topics). At present, we have not been able to find such a list though there is quite a bit of intereest among FReepers.

If you would like to join the new "Military History" ping list, please reply to FReeper indcons.

[indcons]

FYI: this ping list is NOT a duplicate of the GGG list, the history list, or the miltech list. This list focuses on military history only.

If somebody is aware of a functioning military history ping list, please let me know. I searched on the "List of ping lists" and a couple of other FR sources but wasn't able to find anything similar.

[indcons]

Welcome to the new "MilHist" ping list

[patton]

Interesting stuff.

[unionblue83]

I'd like to be on this list.

[indcons]

Welcome to the "MilHist" ping list, unionblue83. The first pings will be on their way shortly.

[unionblue83]

Great, Thanks.

[indcons]

Just FYI in cse you are interested.

You may recall that we were discussing such a list on the Rev. War thread a couple of days ago. I haven't found an appropriate list and have decided to form one with fellow FReepers.

[Pharmboy]

Excellent! Count me in...

[SunkenCiv]

You are going to add me, right? ;') This could work out pretty well. If you're looking for early topics, check out our digest topic, under the heading "Thoroughly Modern Miscellany". It's got lots of stuff from the Civil War, Napoleonic Wars, that kind of thing.

Here's the alpha list / digest topic:

p.s. I'll post something about your new list in those bump list topics.

[indcons]

"You are going to add me, right?"

Of course, this ping list will not be complete without the GGG pingmeister in it :)

Thanks also for offering to post about this new list in your bump topics list. Appreciate the assistance.

[bert]

please add me to the list

I did post in those (they're not mine though). And I can do better than that...

Dear fellow GGGers -- here's something that may be of interest, a ping list that just started in the past hour or so, and it seems like a good idea to give it a plug (so to speak, it's a military history ping list). Please don't drop out of the GGG just because I've been so foolish. Thanks.

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.
Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)

Merry Christmas to you and yours too.

[Max in Utah]

Please add me to the list, and thanks!

[colorado tanker]

Please add me!

BTW, the FReeper Foxhole focuses on American military history, but there is no longer a daily post.

[BJClinton]

I'd like on to the Hysterical Military ping list. I bet there's lotsa Monty Python and French surrender jokes.

Seriously though, add me

[Ciexyz]

I need another ping list like a hole in the head (smile), but this is too good to pass up. Sign me up!

I'm interested in Civil War history, General George Armstrong Custer, T. E. Lawrence, the French Foreign Legion, and Alexander the Great.

[Ciexyz]

I also like the Napoleonic Wars, "Master and Commander", "Horatio Hornblower".

[FOG724]

There are several threads that have the ping lists listed. Do a title search on ping lists. I don't remember there being one for military history.

[Toadman]

Ping!

[JakeWyld]

Thanks for the add and a Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.

[Ciexyz]

My Granddaddy was in the Navy in WW I, my Dad was in the Army Air Force in WW II, my Uncle was in the Navy in WW II, and another Uncle was in the Air Force in the Korean War. I was in the Service during the late Vietnam era but served stateside. So yes, I guess I'm interested in both modern and pre-20th century military history.

[Snake65]

Put me on, please.

[FreedomFarmer]

List me on the jump manifest.

[Racehorse]

Please add my name to the list.

[BlessedByLiberty]

Please add me to this ping list, sounds interesting.

Thanks!

[chesley]

Count me in!! Please add me to the list

[Tallguy]

Add me to the list -- Thanks!

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Yep, put me in. There are some military areas I have particular interest in...

[lepton]

please add me to the "Military History Ping List (New)".

Thank you.

[norton]

pls include me on your list.
Thanks.

[indcons]

"Ping!"

I assume you want to be on the ping list, FReeper Toadman.

Done, welcome to the MilHist ping list. I'll ping y'all to the two threads that were posted today in a few minutes.

[indcons]

Thanks for the info, FOG724. I did a search on the "list of ping lists" and a couple of other places (incl. some useful FReeper homepages). You're right....there is no MilHist ping list.

[Rebelbase]

Me too!

[indcons]

Done, Rebelbase...welcome to the MilHist ping list. Pings to follow in a few minutes.

[indcons]

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.

[indcons]

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.

[PAR35]

Have you read all of the Freeper Foxhole threads?

[beebuster2000]

i'm in!!

[PAR35]

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.

[indcons]

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.

[ODC-GIRL]
