The Military History Group discussion

Hi everyone,

I am glad to have started up this group.

I've decided to ask the group for suggestions on what they'd like to see in the group? What kind of things you'd like to see? What do you think of the general layout of the group?

Hi Creighton,

For your two categories you have in modern era what are your thoughts on the time division between early and late modern?

You might want to begin with the World Wars and then under those topics, break out some specifics; for example:

WWII with sub sections of Pacific theater, European theater. Battle of Britain, D-Day, Operation Barbarossa, Naval battles, etc.

There is so much to cover.

Hi Creighton. Building on what Jill mentioned, I would also add a section for lesser known or undeclared conflicts (such as border wars, single raids, (like the US in Somalia, or Armenia vs. Azerbaijan) and separate issues that span multiple conflicts (examples like; Logistics, air tactics, deceptions in war etc.) I suspect you will need multiple moderators carry this load.

Can we have a topic for historical and war movies? Would be a helpful to have a few recommendations

Definitely a good idea, I think I will do that.

Realistic historical fiction?

Could there be a Vietnam thread?

I second that request.

I think that this is an excellent idea - fiction has told some of the best truths about WW I and II and Vietnam and probably many more conflicts then I am aware of.

I also second your second of Nick's request for a Vietnam thread.

Hi I hope it is okay that I created a new thread topic in general discussion about asking for book recommendations.
