i always forget that custer from the american civil war and custer who was killed at the battle of little bighorn are the same person. insane that they're both george custer. doesn't seem real

Probably because he became more popular during his service on the plains. He did, however, gain a decent amount of fame during Gettysburg.

But yeah… the only similarity I notice is that he’s dumb and a pos during both wars (morally a pos).

Book Review

[Picture ID: The cover for the book, “The Worst Military Leaders of All Time.” Above the Main Title it says  “Foreword by Vice-Admiral Sir Jeremy Blackham.” Below main title is the line “Edited By John M. Jennings and Chuck Steele.” The text is overlaid on a colorless photo taken on D-Day, 1944 of a helmet atop a rifle stock, it’s barrel jammed into churned-up dirt. An open box of belted ammunition sits in the foreground. /End ID.] 

Having once read “The Rise and Fall of Practically Everyone” I went into this non-fiction book expecting a little bit of humor and schadenfreude. Instead what I got was a dry, horrifying, but extremely educational lesson on what happens when you put the wrong men in charge during an armed conflict. 

The book is organized into 5 parts each one featuring 3 commanders. The parts are listed in this order: Criminals, Frauds, The Clueless, Politicians, and Bunglers. Criminals are men for whom killing and torturing alleged enemies, allies, and definitely-not-combatants took higher priority than accomplishing objectives. Frauds lied about their expertise and people believed them at great cost. The Clueless operated on delusional beliefs regarding the enemies capabilities and their own forces. Politicians had to make decisions based on the politics of their society and the strategies in-use during the conflict they engaged in, and they chose poorly. Finally, Bunglers tried their best, it was nowhere near good enough, and they even admitted it (if they survived). These categories were formed by the editors while sorting submissions from historians who were simply assigned to write about the worst commander within the purview of their studies.

I don’t know if it’s problematic or good marketing to place the War-Criminals at the start of the anthology. It will certainly shock and resonate with a reader, at the cost of making one forget about the less outrageous subjects.  This probably isn’t an issue for a diligent reader, which I confess to not always being.

 The specific commanders are all men who have a lot of written evidence condemning them. But in the foreword, the editors say that the Third Reich (and other World War 2 fascists) have already been extensively examined. The purpose of this book was to focus on lesser known or unjustly revered men. Hence half the subjects being American or British. Some names, like George Custer and Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna are relatively well known to Americans like myself. Others are more obscure (to me) such as Roman Fedorovich von Ungern-Sternberg, Nikias, or Nogi Maresuke. 

As a creative resource, this book is perfect for military-focused authors who need references for incompetent and/or evil leadership that is realistic. I haven’t read every single work of military-fiction but I imagine there is a tendency to portray military commanders as brilliant but cruel. Hopefully this book makes an argument that cruelty does not equate to intelligence. And that really interesting drama takes place when plans do not go smoothly at all because the person who were in-charge were inept for one reason or another.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009, Shawn Levy)

23/12/2023

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a 2009 film directed by Shawn Levy.

The film, starring Ben Stiller and Amy Adams, sequel to the film Night at the Museum, was released in cinemas on May 22, 2009 in the United States of America and in Italy. In 2014, its sequel entitled Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb was released, which once again saw Shawn Levy directing and Ben Stiller as the protagonist, alongside Robin Williams.

Two years have passed and Larry Dailey has left the Natural History Museum, where he worked as a night watchman, and entered the business world, becoming a major entrepreneur with his Dailey Devices. One day he returns to the museum driven by memories and discovers that all the wax statues will be packed up and transferred to the federal archive of the Smithsonian museum and replaced with interactive holograms. The only pieces not to leave the museum will be Teddy Roosevelt, Rex, Pharaoh Ahkmenrah and his magic board and some of the more popular characters.

The next evening Larry receives the phone call from Jedediah, the little cowboy, very scared: the capuchin mobkey Dexter, the night before, stole Ahkmenrah's table and everyone has come back to life in the Smithsonian, but they are held hostage by Ahkmenrah's evil older brother, Kahmunrah: the world's largest museum has come to life.

Larry decides to sneak into the museum archives and meets the proud and childish Kahmunrah: a series of clashes ensue in which, among others, George Armstrong Custer (who turns out to be just vain) and Amelia Earhart (ante litteram feminist) intervene.

The evil Kahmunrah then allies himself with Ivan the Terrible, Napoleon Bonaparte and Al Capone to then kidnap little Jedediah, who had facilitated Ottavio's escape from their prison, and lock him in an hourglass: in this way he forces Larry and Amelia to find the combination to be placed on the table, with which he wants to open the doors of the afterlife and unleash them on the world. Thanks to the help of a series of Einstein bobbleheads, the combination is found and the doors to the afterlife are opened from which bird demons arrive. In the meantime, Ottavio has asked for the intervention of the enormous statue of Abraham Lincoln, which sweeps away all of Kahmunrah's soldiers, who flee in panic and return to the afterlife.

Ben Stiller is Larry Dailey: Two years after the end of the first film, he abandoned his job as a night watchman at the Natural History Museum, founded the company Daley Devices and invented the Glow Flashlight along with other products. He returns to the museum and discovers that some artifacts had been moved to the federal archives of the Smithsonian museum and at this point he will have to deal with the evil pharaoh Kahmunrah.

Robin Williams as Teddy Roosevelt: he is Larry's best friend.

Amy Adams is Amelia Earhart: she is the wax statue of the famous pilot who flew over the Atlantic Ocean.

Hank Azaria as Kahmunrah: He is the main antagonist of the film.

Owen Wilson as Jedediah Smith: he is the main tritagonist of the film.

Steve Coogan as Gaius Octavius: The Roman general undertakes a rescue mission to free fellow cowboy Jedediah, who has been placed in an hourglass by Kahmunrah.

Mizou Peck is Sacagawea: Due to her transfer to the federal archives of the Smithsonian, she is forced to separate from her beloved Teddy Roosevelt but at the end of the final battle she returns home together with the old exhibits and sees the president again.
