Talk:The Battle of Algiers

It was a very short battle. Evil Tim 22:04, 27 September 2011 (CDT)

Well, it did involve the French :p --Funkychinaman 01:15, 28 September 2011 (CDT)

In all fairness it was one horrific fight in Algiers and Algeria. The overall insurgency ran from 54-62. It almost ended with a military coup in France. And by all accounts the French military actually did a pretty good job. But like most of these wars they were defeated on the homefront. These types of conflicts are more about political willpower than winning in the field. --Jcordell 08:54, 30 September 2011 (CDT)

I made that comment back when the page consisted entirely of "MAT-49" as a joke. Markit ruined it by putting a proper article here. :P Evil Tim 08:55, 30 September 2011 (CDT)

So I come along without knowing the context and come across as being some type of humorless a**hole. Oh well.*Sigh*--Jcordell 09:37, 30 September 2011 (CDT)

Don't worry, I realise it looked like a cheap knock at the French and I respect that you wanted to set the record straight. No harm done. Evil Tim 09:41, 30 September 2011 (CDT)
