#histodons can anyone point me to a book/chapter/article that treats chivalric literature as veterans' literature? Or, more generally, something on medieval combat veterans or knights as veterans?
I recently read "Chivalry and Violence in Medieval Europe" by Richard W. Kaeuper, which came pretty close (and might be the closest I'll get to what I'm looking for), but if there's anything else along these lines, I'd love to know about it

What I'm getting from "On Guerrilla Warfare" is that Mao is a really good example of "don't put your military genius in charge of the country" (many such cases)

"Vegan military ration" is an inherently funny concept
It was funny when I went into the shower. I spent 15 minutes in the shower thinking about potential nuances related to vegan military rations. I got out of the shower, and it's STILL funny.

If the Crusades were the medieval Catholic church's "war on terror," the Hussite Wars were definitely their Vietnam

I love how chivalric literature is always like "back in the GOOD OLD DAYS, when knights were REAL MEN, they actually PROTECTED widows and orphans and poor people instead of just going to war for PROFIT"
