Don’t forget Jan Sobieski.
Prestor John? Lol.
During Ghengis run against Islam the west heard of a Christan king in the east laying waste to the islamic world. They were so happy, figuring they now had the islamic world caught in a great pincer movement.
Of course there was no Prestor John, just Ghengis, who almost nipped islam in the bud.
But Ghengis believed in as much celestial insurance as possible, therefore you were allowed to pray to the gods of your fathers, so long as you prayed for the well being of the Khan.
If one of the squad chickened out the whole squad was executed. Kept them motivated.
I would say going to hell for not trying to do what their God wants done. -Tom

Prestor John was actually believed to be an African king in Abysinnia. The belief in Prestor John’s Christian utopia predates Genghis and the crusades.
Also...John of Austria. The Commander in The Battle of Lepanto.
Muslims embraced The Suck Bigly!
Under islam for most life is so joyless that they welcome death. But the killing of their entire families thus eliminating them from the gene pool does scare them. The Bible calls it cutting one off.
Like how ya added Thee Donald in their. 😉
***** That’s the only way to overcome them. Sterilize the remainder.
A Jewish Officer showed me a map one evening and told me how Israel would cut the seed, and make their lands uninhabitable for 10,000 years. Essentially, one nuke or an invasion of Israel will result in a grid-square type nuclear coverage of the lands of Cain and the Muslims.

My favorite military leader of all time. He fought wars the way they must be fought. Any other way is ultimate failure.
Where does Truman and Hiroshima fit into your analysis. I firmly believe that if a leader takes his armed forces into battle the leader has the duty to do all that is necessary to defeat the enemy while minimizing harm to his armed forces.
I’m happy Truman dropped the bomb. My Grandfather was a marine in the Pacific during WWII. He most certainly would have been part of the invasion force of mainland Japan, had Truman not dropped the bomb. And if my Grandfather had died, I wouldn’t be here. Also, there’s the fact that there would have been significantly more casualties, if an invasion of mainland Japan had occurred. Certainly more than having dropped two Atomic bombs on Japan.
I repeat a true leader does what he has to to minimize loses of his troops while inflicting the most damage on his enemies including collateral civilian casualties.
I agree with Truman when it comes to ending WWII. His only drawback is accepting what was essentially a tie in Korea.
