This project is brilliant on many levels. It's great therapy for wounded servivemen and their military experience adds to the interpretation of the site

[@kenjisakamoto1993]

This is great. Hire more veterans and current military personnel. This is great for the wounded because they can heal from this despite those who have been injured physically. It builds their skills for future job and they will have more opportunities. Heal their emotional wounds instead of staying home, getting welfare check and numbing themselves with drugs or alcohol.

The guy who owns this area must be making a fortune.

Wonderful idea. Wish US had something like this. USMC Gulf Vet

I would love to join the excavation of the field hospital. I’m an Air Force nurse for ten years and served in battlefield medicine during gulf war. I would volunteer to assist to get these soldiers a proper burial and learn from their wounds and experiences. What an amazing team.

Why....Let the Dead be... Rest in Peace....

[@littlenapoleon1321]

Research purposes

[@primestopper132]

It’s worth it when it lets us learn more about Napoleon and expand our knowledge. One of the best ways to honour the dead, is to remember them

[@ZomBeeNature]

Oh sure, delicate archaeological excavations are always done with a bulldozer...

[@BubbleBlacKa]

Zom Bee Nature I’m sure they scanned the ground before going in with the dozer....

[@nemeczek67]

They found a letter from Duke of Wellington to Napoleon in which he surrendered. Woops!

[@van31003]

That's what would have happened if it wasn't for the Prussians and Blücher.
