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.
@mchill saidSo 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.

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
