Estamos en junio, en el mes de Waterloo, es #MiércolesMendizabal. El día para recordar a ese general español que echó de España a las tropas napoleónicas, hasta Toulouse y hasta su última oportunidad en Waterloo

@FSupervielleB Desde mi ignorancia. El F18 lo opera la Marina. El F15 la fuerza aérea. F18A/C monoplaza. F15E biplaza. Queda divertido pero no me cuadra

@FSupervielleB Vamos a ver, si te dedicas a fregar platos cada día alguno has de romper. A los pilotos suizos seguro que les pasa menos.

@FSupervielleB Pues 🥚🥚 no le faltan, a muchos con haber vivido una eyección les llega

[Txema Laso @Txema_Laso]

@FSupervielleB Bueno el derribo del F18 fue en teoría fuego amigo, que luego no era tan amigo, pero una puñalada se la dan a cualquiera 😅 ese no cuenta!

[Òscar CD 🇪🇸 🇬🇧 🇳🇱 @OCastellarnauD]

@FSupervielleB No es tanto una cuestión de superstición como médica. Una eyección supone exponer tu cuerpo a 12-20 G con peligro de fracturas por compresión vertebral en el 20-40% de los casos. Tras dos eyecciones es posible que un tribunal médico no te permita seguir por riesgo acumulado.

True, but we miss there @GeneralAlava who was another Wellington´s aide. Besides these white uniforms and green plumets sometimes appears a moustached gentleman wearing a blue uniform. A mexican-hispanic interpretation of the "spanish one who was there as it seems"? 😉

"Never have I seen such rascals!"

An Austrian general watched allied troops flee from Hougoumont. Wellington, standing beside him, didn't disagree.

His reply: "But after all, it is with these gentlemen that we must win the battle!"

The movie Waterloo (1970) perhaps hints at this. White-uniformed officers appear close to Wellington in several scenes, likely representing Allied liaison officers like the Austrian General Vincent.

The anecdote involves Nassau troops running from Hougoumont. According to one version, even "firing upon us as they ran."

Vincent allegedly said: "Jamais je n'ai vu de tels coquins!"

Wellington replied:

"Mais enfin, c'est avec ces Messieurs là qu'il faut que nous gagnions la bataille!"

You win with what you have, not what you wish you had.
