CajunScot,

I think you may be my new best friend. LOL. I think that sharing History with people is awesome. Once you really get into things, you understand why something happened not just what. then, like you said about Wolfe and Quebec, you can see that at Culloden his actions made made him who he was.

, Cajun Scot beat me to it about trying to expand on things that the populus has little basic knowledge of makes it very difficult. Being in the military and an instructor I try to teach a little of the "Profession of Arms" to my students. It helps if they understand who/what went on before them. Not just "I came in for the college money." If they understand how our founding fathers came up with the Constitution and what they went through, what the Continental Army went through, it gives some understanding of the sacrifices (Even in the Air Force) we have to make today, to remain free and what the oath of enlistment really means.

Sorry, didn't mean to completely preach or anything. Thats just how I feel about History and my job as an NCO in the USAF.

Thanks,

Darin
