ZBT: Historic Hurricane Leads To Poop-Filled Cargo Pockets

On this episode of Drop A Pin, we’re diving into the wildest times Mother Nature called the shots in war. First up, Napoleon thought he could just waltz into Russia in 1812 like, "Cool, we’ll wrap this up by fall." Spoiler: Russian winters had other plans, and dude lost 300,000 troops to frostbite and exile. Same thing happened to Hitler. These guys clearly don’t check the forecast. Then, good ol’ George Washington was about to get bodied by the British in Brooklyn. But a thick fog rolled in, and boom, he pulled a Houdini, sneaking all 9,000 troops across the East River without so much as a scratch. Brits woke up like, “Where’d everybody go?” Finally, during the War of 1812, the Brits were torching D.C. when a freakin’ tornado came in, put out their fires, sank some ships, and even offed a few soldiers. The Brits dipped so fast, they probably felt like the weather gods were out for them. And because we love some weather chat, we’ll finish off with a rundown on hurricanes, flying into storms, and the military’s epic struggle to stay afloat when the weather takes a turn for the insane. So buckle up for tornadoes, fog, and the occasional scoop-your-own-poop story from military history.
