Get the Nose mug.A large group of soldiers that forms the main body of an army. The infantry first truly came about with the miltary development of the Phalanx in Ancient Greece; This was a large, tight square-like formation of Greek soldiers carrying shields and very long lances that marched towards the enemy. These formations would continue for over two millienia, where soldiers would be organized in closely-formed lines (rows) and columns, and these which would gradually grow away from the thick, square-like formations into longer and thinner lines and taller, narrow columns. This move away from block-type formations allowed the infantry to have more movement and flexibility.
Infantry tactics and weaponry would continue to develop through the many centuries. The greatest era of the infantry was during the more-than-a-century long period from the French and Indian War (Mid-1750s to 1763) all the way to the Franco-Prussian War (1870). During this time, warfare saw the move from musketeers to riflemen, and also regular cannons to rifled artillery, as the process of "rifling" not only applied to battle rifles, but to artillery guns as well. During the greater part of the 19th Century, infantry tactics became known as "Napoleonic Tactics", named after the great Corsican general who catapulted all the way to Emperor of France, and eventually the temporary ruler of most of Europe. However, with the introduction of more-lethal rifled and repeating weapons by the time of the American Civil War, the tactics involving long, 2-3 rank battle lines of soldiers and tightly-packed formations in rows and columns marching in unison would have to change.
By the time of the Spanish-American War, tactics would change, as platoons, regiments, and battalions would find newer and less-dangerous methods of approaching and defending against the enemy. Today, infantry is truly different in the means of its tactics, weaponry, and the fact that they use vehicles, too. The infantrymen on military jeeps and trucks are known as "mechanized infantry". The infantry still makes up the major part of armies, and are included in both the Marines and the Army.

Illinois isn't actually a Blue State; the only reason that it is claimed as one is because of Chicago, which is incredibly liberal and its city and metropolitan populations make up roughly half of the state's population. Almost all of the rest of the state (86% or so of the total land area, and 52% of the state's population) is predominately Republican and conservative in it's thinking.

Get the Blue States mug.The poor, lovely girl who absolutely cannot help the state she is in. She is obviously conscious, as she can follow movements with her eyes, and has the ability to respond in her own ways. She is NOT completely braindead. If she were, her bodily organs wouldn't even be able to operate, and she would subsequently die, not to mention she couldn't respond to anything in any way, shape, or form.
However, this woman has managed to survive like this for 15 long years, so her brain is obviously functional. Now, that mustached-prick Michael Schiavo wants her to just die, and her feeding tube was taken out roughly four or five days ago. This has turned into a massive controversy, now involving the government in Washington. Of course, George Bush's appeal for Terri's life was denied by those who not only support ending lives, but hate Bush as well (what a coincidence).
Hopefully, with a miracle, or actions by people with COMMON SENSE, this disabled woman's life will be spared. Hey, Democrats are Nazis; I totally agree, these liberals are supporting murder! What's even worse about this is they're murdering her SLOWLY, through starvation.

We must take action to save Terri Schiavo's life, or she WILL die painfully, and others in her condition will probably have the same things done to them; especially those who have no wills written out.
