Ask any NCO and they'll tell you that was always the case, LOL! I'm sure some jaded old Hoplite would be more than happy to complain about "Those new Lokhagos these days..."
The source for that information is, apparently, the book Heisenberg's War by Thomas Powers, a Pulitzer-winning journalist and acclaimed author. Quoted here:
It would be interesting to know what sources Powers was using on that, though.
In Persia, slavery was generally a local institution which the Persians avoided messing with to avoid trouble. As such, it was practiced differently in different places. However, it wasn't practiced on an empire-spanning scale, and it wasn't a major driver of imperial policy. The historical...
Nope arabs where disunited and weak ,plus a lot of early Muslim come very rivals tribes If anything they remain the desert dogs as roman called the pre islamic Arabs.

Diem might have been somewhat competent in the near term, but he rule was unsustainable (especially if his nutjob brother Nhu keeps on picking bizarre fights with the Buddhists over stupid crap like the Flag Laws).
If not British, then not an American, for there are far too many "British English" forms in the writing. Must be an Australian.

I'd say the heart of Russia is bounded by the Volga, Don, Dnipier and St Petersburg. If we're talking about population, that's where the vast majority of Russians are, but yeah it's not an easy challenge.
I was looking at what the 7.62x25mm should be able to offer, that seems to be under 500 m/s MV for a 5.5g bullet even from the longer barrel of SMGs of the 1940s; effective range of 150-200m? Further necking down, anywhere between 5.5 and 6.5 mm, should hopefully improve that average to another...
No, that position didn't exist back then IIRC. Maybe he gets Lord Treasurer or a Diplomatic advisor.
Nope. If the security for the Princes was that poor than it's a miracle they weren't freed beforehand.
