Whodey!! Whodey!! Whodey!! Whodey!!

Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man. Anything that can be built by man can be destroyed by him.

- General George A Patton

The Berlin wall didn't work

The Great wall of China didn't work

Hadrian's wall didn't work.

Trump's wall (that Mexico was supposed to pay for) won't work.

Duchess - This was a quote by General Patton, you wrote this as if it was my quote. I would invite you to stop lying, and tell the truth about what I wrote. In addition, I know you think you know more about the virtues of fixed fortification than an American general that fought in 2 world wars, but you're just plain wrong. Please stop lying about what I wrote, and consider the fact there is a big difference between sitting at your computer, and experience in the field.

So I reckon is shows just how dumb human beings are since all they seem to do is keep building walls for no apparent practical reason.

Exactly

@mghrn55

I assume you then live in a wall free house with a fenceless yard and are just as pleased as punch about it.

Incidentally, do roofs count? After all, they are kind of like a horizontal wall.

Actually the general consensus was that the great wall of China totally worked.

Moreover... How didn't the Berlin wall work?

It could only be thought of as being defeated by the massive Berlin airlift operation...

... And sure, I guess the Berlin wall didn't prop up east German communism, lol

It was torn down.
