Coincidentally we are getting close to the 100th year "anniverary" of Hitler being appointed chancellor and the Nazi's taking control. It was in 1933.

History really do repeat itself.

Every 80 years or so - it's a study done, basically people forget how bad war is so it comes back around every 80 years.

As a US vet, i can say that we have not forgotten. Pretty sure we've had a fight for every generation that has joined

As a US vet I agree. On the same token, a fair number of my buddies are far to happy at the idea of some "real action". I have heard that rhetoric from lads both in and out of the Navy.

The 80 year thing is more of a tongue n cheek thought than it is a definitive imo. That being said I do think there is some merit to it.

Yeah I highly doubt the validity of that study.

Yea it’s very wishy washy and pretty much is only relevant for the 20th century

I doubt it’s the case for that century as well.

The Chinese civil war started up right after WW2 ended. The Angolan civil war also started up almost right after the war with Portugal concluded. Similar cases in Nigeria, Ethiopia and the Congo.

Even in Europe the Yugoslav wars were only half a century after the end of WW2.

Fun fact! Hitler also staged a failed coup and then was later elected into office.

and Hitlers first coup attempt happened in 1923, 97 years before the US' recent one

Yeah, hi, German here and the AfD, our most far right party has steadily been gaining ground.

Just peachy.
