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.

Napoleonic tactics worked fairly well in the 19th century. Mixed results in mid to late-19th.

It’s when they tried to apply them to WW1 that the body counts got ridiculous.
