    In the Thirty Years War ( 1618 - 1648 ) Germany lost about 40% of its population, the bloodiest war in German history.

    No safe space has ever existed anywhere.

    I've read that is a pretty large exaggeration.

    On the other side, the Aussies lost the war with the Emus.

    Hey, we did not lose, OK. There was an armistice, an exchange of prisoners & neither side lost any territory.

    wikipedia (see link) lists the operation by Australia as a "failure".

    Some pundit gave the results of the war as "Australia expended 10,000 rounds of ammunition and suffered a complete loss of dignity".

    Hey, when the current US election is over and the results are settled you can preach about loss of dignity, not before. :smile:

    I thought that for a long time especially when you consider that many young brave boys sacrificed themselves for so called noble causes that ended to be less noble. What a waste of young patriotic men ! However if one day I would have to choose to die standing rather living in the world of progress or shariah, I think I would find it worth it to risk my life and die to not live in such world.

    The Cod War(s)
    The Toyota War
    The Drunken War
    The Anglo/Zanzibar Conflict.
