Let's start here you lazy fucking retard:
The definition of "Allusion" because I know you're an ignorant lazy cunt who can't even search for himself, from wikipedia:
"An allusion is a figure of speech that makes a reference to, or representation of, people, places, events, literary work, myths, or works of art, either directly or by implication." There's the magic word you're so desperately looking for: "reference to".
"Literary Allusions: Abusing Allusions": the page talks about how incorrectly referenced allusions are retarded as fuck and completely destroy the credibility of the writer.
"A faulty allusion might impress someone who has no idea what you’re writing about, but it will destroy the credibility of your entire piece for someone who can catch the mistake."
From a site which seems custom designed for people as ignorant as yourself (http://www.write-better-english.com/incorrect-allusion.aspx):
Talking about "Allusion" which is just ONE type of "reference". This is EXACTLY the situation we have here. OP is alluding to FALLOUT, but is entirely incorrect so:
"Every one who detects a writer pretending to more knowledge than he has jumps to the conclusion that the detected must know less than the detective, and cannot be worth his reading. Incorrect allusion of this kind is therefore fatal."
See that last line? Let me quote it for you again because of how stupid you are, and how you keep missing the point of my posts:
"Incorrect allusion of this kind is therefore fatal."
OP gives examples of aspects of war that DO change, and then he says "war never changes" because he thinks it's clever. But it's fucking wrong in the worst way possible. It is supposed to be his CONCLUSION, but it's so far off the mark that it makes him sound like a tard (which is what the TA is talking about).
Again, this is exactly the type of reference made here, and is so bloody obvious that it can be used incorrectly.
This is highschool level English as I already said. I wasn't joking. You're the worst kind of Redditor. You are dumb as bricks and you don't bother to do even the most basic google search.
All of your retarded-ass pestering could have been put to better use trying to learn it for yourself. All the info is there, one highschool-level website away.
Fucking imbecile.
