On British Military Historian, Basil Liddell Hart

Yeah, this fellow was real piece of work. Not only did he buy into the cockamamie notion that targeting civilians would win wars, save lives, etc., he was also an advocate of, get this, POISON GASSES!! "Gas may well prove the salvation of civilization from the otherwise inevitable collapse in the case of another world war." Of course the real damage from this insanity came from the fact that military madmen like "Sir" Hugh Trenchard and Mad-Bomber Harris ultimately put it into action (save, thankfully, for the poison gas part) and perpetrated some of the greatest war crimes in all of human history and, so, yes sir, a special "thanks" to those fellows as well....................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, I am well aware of the fact that Sir Hart eventually changed his tune on this one, but I am sorry, too little, too late.
