Did you know that the longest war lasted 335 years, while the shortest lasted only 38 minutes? That Russia's new hypersonic missile, the Avangard, flies twenty times faster than the speed of sound, or that three Australian soldiers with two machine guns fought against 20,000 ostriches in the 1932 Emu War and ultimately lost?
This book enhances military knowledge and intellectual prowess with compelling insights. Why does a soldier call chicken fricassee "blasting chicken," a sailor calls a seasickness suppository "arse torpedo," and an airman calls his helicopter "flap-flap"? Here you'll learn everything you need to show off.
Our tip: No knowledge is as good as useless knowledge. With this book, you'll be on top of your game at the next military talk show among friends.
