Pale Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 I was just curious how much research bts used in this area because we all know many old veterans like to exaggerate just a bit or flat out lie. Before you flame me I realize not all vets do this, I know a few honest veterans and they refuse to talk about what happened during their service, but fanciful stories have great propaganda value. To think, who would join the army if they knew what war was really like? I was just wondering how bts figured out what actually happened because everyone exagerates and bend the numbers in their favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forever Babra Posted December 11, 2000 Share Posted December 11, 2000 Primary sources are an invaluable research aid. They give clues. When the bulk of primary sources coincide in their account, the account may be taken as factual. ------------------ Scarred on a hundred fields before Naked and starved and travel-sore Each man a tiger hunted; They stood at bay as brave as Huns The last of the Old South's splendid sons Flanked by ten thousand shotted guns And by ten thousand fronted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
