You know why I hate zombie movies? They never have a happy ending. Oh hey five of us escaped in this helicopter but the world is all zombie so we’re fu**ed the instant we’re out of gas the end. F**k that. Anyway, there was a sort of zombie attack during World War I that became known as the Attack of the Dead Men.

--On This Day in History S**t Went Down: August 6, 1915--

On the Eastern front of World War I the Germans were fighting the Russians in what is now Poland. Unlike in World War II, where the N***s fought the Soviets in what was then and is now Poland. Anyway, in July of 1915, the Germans attacked Osowiec Fortress with about 8,000 men against a defending Russian force of fewer than a thousand.

After a month of fu***ng around, the Germans decided to gas the Russian defenders in the early morning of August 6, 1915. They used favorable winds to send balloons filled with chlorine gas toward the fort. There was a lot of water v***r in the air, which combined with the gas to transform it into hydrochloric acid.

Hydrochloric acid is one of those things that you don’t want to get on you. You know the N**i guy at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark with the melting face? That’s pretty much what happened. So most of the Russian defenders said well I guess that’s the war for me and up and died. But a hundred of them, led by second lieutenant Vladimir Kotlinsky, said f**k this I’m gonna die with my boots on even if my face is falling off. And so these hundred dudes with no faces and coughing up blood and chunks of lung tissue charged thousands of German attackers.

And the Germans were all HOLY JESUS F**K FARTS WHAT THE F**KING F**K?!

And the Russians killed all the Germans and stole their faces and put those faces on where their own faces used to be and went home and lived happily ever after. Not quite, but the Germans were freaked right the f**k out and definitely did flee in terror from these face-melted zombies. The Germans ran so fast they got caught in their own boobytraps and barbed wire. Since it’s hard to defend yourself when you’re showing your ass to the enemy, the zombie Russians exacted a heavy toll on the fleeing Germans, taking an ample honor guard to the afterlife with them.

Those who cannot remember the past need a history teacher who says “f**k” a lot. Get both volumes of ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY S**T WENT DOWN at JamesFell.com/books.

The Liquid Fuel Emergency Act 1984 gives the Commonwealth sweeping powers to ration petrol and diesel, redirect supply, commandeer reserves, and even control refinery output. No new legislation needed. It's already on the books.

Today the Government announced it's selling 64 Defence sites across Australia - including Victoria Barracks in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

We understand the strategic logic. The Defence Strategic Review made clear we need to reorient toward our northern approaches. Proceeds will strengthen bases in Darwin, Townsville, and the Cocos Islands. That makes sense.

But we’re asking the Government to tap the brakes here because once these sites are gone, they’re gone forever.

Veterans right across the country have deep connections to these places.

We've seen what happens when these sales go wrong. Sites left to rot behind locked fences while developers and governments argue for years. Grand plans that never happen.

RSL Australia will be watching this closely. We want to make sure:
▪ Reservists and cadets have somewhere to go BEFORE sites are sold
▪ Heritage protection is real, not just words
▪ Veterans have a say in what happens to places that matter to them

RSL Australia isn't opposed to reform. We're opposed to rushed reform. Let's get this right.

“The RSL stands at a critical juncture for all veterans, but specifically the contemporary cohort from post-Vietnam onwards.

The RSL’s relevance depends on its ability to deliver for contemporary veterans while honouring our heritage.

This requires an honest assessment of what works, what doesn't, and what must change.”
