I know that one Sir.

It was our own General Washington. It was the American Revolution. I don't know exactly when it happened, besides the fact it was during the Revolution, sometime between 1775-1783 I suppose (I hope thats specific enough). The reason? Some American troops revolted and after a tense standoff surrendered, and George Washington had them decimated. I think that's it, I don't know too much about it. I'll try to find more information but so far I haven't had any success.

Okayyyy....

Look at the Question: When was the last time (latest)this method was used for any type of military group? Give the war, the date range, and the reason.

Mark Conley · June 8th, 2004

heres another 25 Milbuck question.

Bernard Fall wrote his Book "Hell in a very Small Place" about a very famous battle.

1. Name the battle.

2. Name the country it was fought in.

3. Name the two opposing commanders.

4. What was the outcome of the battle?

5. This one you will not get off google: Where was the place that was described in the title as "Hell in a very small place"?
