This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The moment breach loaders became available Prussia used them to absolutely destroy Austria-Hungary and their muzzle loaders in battle.
This shows that the soldiers back then where limited by technology not their intellect.
