what the fuck Lasalle why is your pipe almost as long as your sword

I saw these two objects separately in images I downloaded. I assumed the pipe was a lot smaller!

This is going to fuck me up for the rest of the day

Vang and Arsene need larger more obnoxious pipes

Okay, the measurements on the Musee de l'armee website say the pipe is like half a meter and the sword is like a meter...

So it is like a combo of short sword and long-ass pipe...

History - Waterloo - Napoleon Bonaparte

If you stroll through Paris, Napoleon is nearly omnipresent: be it in the listed battles at the Arc de Triomphe and countless street names remembering his great military victories and people of his military staff, or buildings that were built by him or to his honor. I was very interested in military history of that period, so a visit to the 'Dome des Invalides' (where Napoleon's tomb is situated) and the 'Musee de l'Armee' was a must. Napoleon was a military genius - but had forgotten that only peace leads to lasting success.

We Germans had an ambivalent relationship to Napoleon: on the one hand he was the hope to spread the spirit of the French Revolution in Germany - on the other hand he also meant war and suffering. Napoleon reorganized the many small states in Germany and was thus probably the obstetrician of the German nation. Europe was united at those days - under the leadership of France. With overthrowing Napoleon by the old aristocratic powers in Europe, an opportunity for a united Europe has been probably wasted.

Gosh, I love this couple totebag. It says: “I love you like tabacco smoke and war disorder” on the General Lasalle bag and “My heart is for you, my blood for the Emperor and my life for honor” on Joséphine d’Aiguillon one.

Napoleon I was exiled to the island of St. Helena and that is where he died in 1821. In 1840, his remains were returned to Paris and buried in Les Invalides. These gigantic statues surround and guard his tomb.
