Hmmm.
Trying to decide if I fit in on a panel of such august personalities.
Perhaps a Minister Without Portfolio/Head of the Gen'l Staff.
Or A Minister Without Head/Gen'l Staff Portfolio Director.

Or - given the family history - how 'bout Minister for Ordering and Requisition Of Nike Shoes?

nate25 I am a very serious historian. No, I most certainly do not - at this or any other juncture - suggest leaving out Basillio's. It happened, its a shame, but it happened. We can never - should never - forget what happened on that small strip of land. But when you say the entire battle took place there, you are completely ignoring so much of the rest of the campaign. That's not British bias - its fact.
I suspect there is an element of guilt in your response, and I don't blame you for that. After all, had the 3rd Middletown (Ohio Players) Regiment been able to secure a supply of Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer Basketball trainers, they may have been able to run to Basillio's farm quick enough to save the town from the fate that overtook them. Oh yes, I have done the research. It was one John nate25 III, your great, great, great grandad I believe - that, as quartermaster-general for the Ohio Players - failed to put in the requisite paper work in time to ensure delivery of the Nike footwear.
In regular army boots there was simply no way they could reach Basillio's in time....I'm sorry, I feel your pain.

No problem nate25. We all allow our emotions to get the better of us sometimes. I think we all, from time to time, need to sit back, take a deep breath and ensure we are sensitive to the feelings of others; have more empathy for another's plight as it were. It is important not to dwell on the past and rake up feelings that are bound to be still raw.
With the above in mind I promise not to mention again the fact that one of your long distant family members was an incompetent oaf that, through his sheer neglect and abandonment of duty, caused the horrible, lingering, painful death of every man, woman and child at Basilio's. I mean how difficult was it to order 2,000 pairs of Nike Zoom Hyperenforcer basketball trainers? Sheeeesh what a $%^&*^%.
