History Lesson from CivilWarrior

It's open classroom at Way Down in Kosovo and Professor CivilWarrior is giving another in his series on the History of Warfare.

WARNING! There are a couple of pop quizzes sprinkled throughout the lecture and wrong answers may result in severe penalties:

Hint: if you answer United States of America, go out and play in the traffic right now. If you answer "The Empire", please leave your name and address, and after I get done with this deployment I will come to your house and beat you silly with your own "Code Pink" protest sign, then mock your sad lack of secondary sexual development in front of teenagers.

I'm sure most of you will have no problem getting the correct answers, so don't be afraid to participate!
