When someone tells you that you can’t make much of a difference in this world as a single individual, just remember: If you donated to the Berr Battalion fundraiser, you’ve done more to support #Ukraine than the entire current U.S. administration has.

Let’s start a fundraising battalion for Ukraine in each state 🇺🇸
50 States for Ukraine. We’re looking for 50 leaders, one from each state, to lead their state’s battalion. And also people who simply want to support their state’s battalion.
🎯 Do you want to represent your state?

Do you read me here?

Must be horrible for you to watch.

You should read 'the total war' by David Bell.
Although it's more about the culture of war it has much to say about Napoleon and the change of the military system during just a generation back then.
