Uhm, spears and lances were not regular armament anymore (to say the least) at those mentioned times. Of course I know that one WWI trench soldier or another wore chainmail for melee action, or was wielding a three foot club with 9 inch iron nails stuck through them- though, that doesn't change the fact that it is not the weapon of choice High Command was thinking about, but more of a weapong of desesperation once gunpowder is out.Johann MacLeod said:Napolean used them too, in fact i belive spaers and pike were used in WWI (lancers i know)
Yes, and the resulting impact on the average lancer was... apocalypticSword_Of_Geddon said:European nations still had the Napolianic mindset going into WW1, hense the Cavalry, Lancers etc.
Air travel, petrol engines, Womens' rights... (although... err) when thinking about it... nah, I guess U r right- a stupid war...Sword_Of_Geddon said:WW1 was a stupid war anyways...except for the Red Baron, he was cool, but other than that, nothing good came out of that war
from Wikipedia said:A quagmire (from "quake" + "mire") is, literally, shaky, miry ground; as a political term used to describe a foreign military campaign in which there is either no foreseeable possibility of victory or the objectives are unclearly defined, and at the same time no clear exit strategy has been formulated in the absence of victory. The military campaign is likened to a kind of swamp or marsh in which the warring nation is unable to remove itself.
Typically, a quagmire occurs when a major power attempts with little success to subdue a foreign guerrilla insurgency. Often matters of national pride or belief in military invincibility are the cause of the lack of an exit strategy. It is often humorously suggested that the best way to resolve the military impasse associated with a quagmire is to simply "declare victory and go home."
