  • Every time I hear the gong, I expect Jungle Boogie to start.

  • LOL @ 8:41 some soldiers take flight!

  • @VictumRoManius

    Good thing we're not speaking in Persian.

  • This documentary - One long advertisement commissioned by a company that produces Go boards/merchandise.

  • Ironically, this is what big "Minh" follows upon the final decision to surrender. Enemies multiple victories spell momentum and thus big Minh decided to yield to the NLF.

  • Dude this remind me of the victory of South Korea when North Korea and China didn't, repeat did not scout the damages Allied forces have inflict on the Socialist. They regain nothing but barren lands and bloodied soils. Hahahaha

  • 5:24 Obviously Anakin Skywalker did not heed Sun Tzu's advice.

  • (part 5) chose to march barefoot in order to save wear on their shoes not knowing when they could rely on a re-issue if their own shoes were worn out. Also these shoes, called brogans, where not well made, came in only a few sizes and did not have a left or right for the appropriate foot. As a result many who did march in their footwear often paid a heavy price in blisters and chaffing even to the point of flesh peeling away from their feet. Barefoot Confederates saved their shoes 4 winter.

  • (part 4) first day of the 3 day battle. Shoes had nothing to do with it. The myth probably comes from yet another myth that Confederate soldiers were not issued shoes or not enough to go around. This veiw comes in part because reporters and local civilians witnessing the long Confederate columns marching by and could see many soldiers barefoot. The onlookers did not know that the barefoot soldiers did indeed have shoes stuffed in their blanket rolls and haversacks or knapsacks. Many Confederate

  • (part 3) The fringes of both armies bumped into each other and the fighting began. Both sides sent word for trailing units to come to their aid as support. Then more and more units arrived and fighting grew in intensity. Then Lee rode up on the scene and could see that more Confederate units were arriving than Union units so he ordered an all out attack which drove Union troops back through the town of Gbrg into higher elvated ground just south of town. Night time ended the fighting on the

  • (part 2) So Lee looks at a map for a convieniant place for his 3 spread out Corps to converge b4 he plans his next move. At the same time Union army Genl Meade does not know exactly where Lee is either but his 7 Corps are spread out as well and he too begins look for a place to concentrate to plan the next move. The roads around the town of Gbrg are shaped like a wagon wheel with spokes. A very good place to march into then deploy from. Since both armies choose the same place to concentrate.

  • It is a myth that the battle of Gettysbrg was fought over shoes. After the previous battle of Chancelorsville Lee side steps the Union army and moves into Maryland then into Pennsylvannia. His last known intel informed him the Union army was hovering around Washingto DC. A Confederate spy meets with Confederate Genl Longstreet and reports that the Union army is Not hovering around DC but is squarly between Lee's army and DC thus threatening Lee's line of march back to Virginia. (part 1)

  • went to go get some shoes and started the biggest battle on the western hemisphere lmao!

  • @purefatdude2 Not true......shoes had Nothing to do with the battle of Gettysburgh.

  • @ke4bss well im talking about the battle of gettysburg, idk what is the battle of Gettysburgh. And i said Started.

  • @purefatdude2 Ok, I made a spelling fas pas, shoes had nothing to do with the battle of Gettysburg.  It's a myth.

  • @ke4bss so they lied to us!

  • @purefatdude2 I wouldn't call them liars but when it comes to the battle of Gettysburg and the so called vague orders from Lee to Ewell tells me they do not know the details of what really happened and do not know Lee's command style.

  • shogun total war !

  • I want history lessons like this!

  • Why would lee attack a dug in fortified emeny?

    Its suicide...

  • @Raven236 dig him up and ask him :P

  • wondering any thought on implementing art of war in real time strategies games ive tried it works in few games plz give constructive feedback

  • I have the high ground Aniken,dont try it!

  • Ha like Lee would read something a yellow man wrote.

  • @JBXyooj To bad all of his teaching is all over world because people want to learn it. Even West Point offer this his teaching. Like it or not every racist have smart and intelligent people. Stop your stop racist comments.

  • @kempowarrior However your comment doesn't pertain to my point... I'm just saying Lee a southern General probably would think that an ideal from China would befit him.

    Even if it does... Man wouldn't that eat his inner pride.

  • @kempowarrior Wouldn't

  • Lee seems to be some kind of Bernadict Arnoldson or something? Willingly chasing his men in to death...

  • I love how this video links to a video of the Halo 3 trailer.

    I bet Sun Tzu's tactics were used to save Earth from Covenant conquer.

  • chess is not such a stupid game. you don't need to kill pawns to place a mate

  • LOL Yep that sounds as the best American General "The enemy is there, I'll attack him there." (With a southern accent)

  • @Lafayette912 ,

    LMAO @ your comment.

  • wah.. im so tired of hearing "sun tzu would have said" they keep repeating it....!!!

  • @ouano1 Dude, they're quoting from a book Sun Tzu wrote, so they had to do that. Repetition does get annoying, but they have to quote everyhting correctly. Or at least give props to whom they got their ideas from.

  • @7SaintsRow Yeah, i mean Sun Tzu was the master and author, so they had to reference him.

  • @ouano1 Of course they have to! The video revolves around the Art of War authored by Sun Tzu!

  • The show made Gen.Lee look stupid, the reason Lee wanted to attack the Big Round Top was because he thought the center was weak since the Union reinforced their Left and Right Flank. But still i agree, he should have realized that a high ground with a good natural defensive structure have a huge advantage so he should not have attacked it

  • i love this video but 4:30 - 4:37 made me laugh so much, the guys sounds like a 5th grader

  • Go>Chess

  • @NartSaga The funny thing is... Go means shit in Persian.

  • There are only 2things you can do when your enemy has the high ground: surround him and starve or make him get down by attacking some other target.

  • @5B0YAKASHA5 surround a high ground just like the Fish Hook ridge is critical, it means you have to spread your entire army so thin, which can be easily broken by a good cavalry charge. Then they would just sweep your entire line like a door.

  • @5B0YAKASHA5 no air strike.

  • Yes, but in chess, you still lose pieces in order to defeat your enemy. Trust me, I love chess, and I play agaisnt people every day. The Vietnamese did had the advantage of terrain, but the Americans failed to notice this.

  • I never got to play it and I cant think in terms of castle and bishop, its all abstract. Anyhow Americans thought that the Vietnamese were weak so they just took their planes and bombed them. This is an extreme cases of underestimation.

    Imagine what have happaned in most troubled countries..first some gurillas carry out attacks, and the president tells "ah just take your planes and bomb them we are too bored fighting smal people" The ignorance gives enough time for the rebels.

  • Yes I am not agaisnt that, but the Vietnamese did not have any pieces, for they knew when and where the Americans would come. They did fought in small groups, but in chess you always have to have your pieces connected and close to each other, but then controlling as much land as possible. :)

  • well definitely you need a symmetric warfare to compare it with chess. But Americans cant think like chess if this is assymetric, and they never thought like ches except when fighting the germans in extreme cases when they were both equal in physical power.

  • Yes, but the point in war is to win the war by avoiding a great battle. Alexander the Great himself had trouble with Persian satraps directing raids agaisnt him in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. Do not advance relying on pure military power.

  • Go (weiqi) is totally weird for a veteran chess player. There is no immediate engagement. It seems as if you're just randomly dropping your pieces on the board, then halfway through you suddenly realise your opponent has woven a noose around your neck and you can't do anything about it.

  • the best way to have faught that was to retreat (row by row from back hiding the retreating position) and stay away from firing range. what a stupid idiot walking front of the firing range.

  • Again Chess game has nothing to do with the irradical irrational methods employed by stuipid Army Genarals...

  • Lee concentrated on glory, he was desperate for it, and his way to get it was to attack.

  • Was it really a stalemate?

  • @soccom8341576: For the most part of the first half of the war, yes. The North couldn't plow through the South with it's green recruit armies and ineffective leadership, and the South couldn't get the North to agree to peace even after so many men were killed. Thus we had constant and bloody fighting with the status quo never changing until Gettysburg and it's aftermath.

  • This is such a scandal on the intelligence and thinking power required to play chess. Chess a great game but it is about out smarting the enemy in a political and economical manner in a symmetric warfare. These stupid army genarals have no idea about chess, Chess is not what must be critizised, but the way you fight with concrete thoughts. If you had to take that Washington stratogy, you get flank attacks obviously.

    the fault is in western terrain. China and Vietnam had geography

  • Even thought the Confederacy was winning the war at first, their plan was to defend. The Union still had many man and resources left, and Grant used this to his advantage when he fought agaisnt Lee, abd therefore ending the war (supposedly) in the Appotomax Courthouse.

  • well no army is taught how to fight an enemy that is low in number and resources and inferior to you, an army must learn to fight an enemy that is superior.

  • lee was a great general he fallowed alot of Tzus laws but at getteysburg he ... well ... kind of lost it. he charged acroos 3 mile feild at pickets charge and frontal attacks. He was a great general but i dont know what happend at getteysburg.

  • @Colin69972 In the two previous days of the battle he attacked the northern and southern flanks unsuccessfully, but at great cost to the Union. He believed that the Union would strengthen those flanks and weaken the center, he was right, but the position was still too strong. Plus, Lee was a risk taker, and more often then not those risks worked. But if you take too many risks your eventually going to get burned.

  • ya but he wouldnt attack head on like he did. i would totally agree with longstreet

  • i am cool

  • Did he just ordered an attack on the hill three times despite not learning from the first defeat?

  • a hill is very useful for defence, but you have to use the "millitary peak". Its below the peak, this gives you momentum to charge, and gives you cover from bullets.

  • jeez, lee was a battle idiot he got all his men slauhgtered by being stubborn

  • thats kind of true he was a great general before and after getteysburg but it was at gettysburg where ... he kind of lost it .i mean he was using goho stratagies but he did chess at getteysburg . i have know idea why.

  • @Volim1Ranga1

    I dont think so, whcih Roman Tacticion are you talking about.?

  • sun Tzu wisdom about high ground is right. lee should have went around the hill and went for DC.

  • Lol he went to get some shoes! Love it.

  • @sollibop You ARE only as strong as your weakest link.  The weak link - needing shoes.

  • @Herstory4321 Ah that makes sense. The guy didn't qualify it. The way he said it made it sound like he was acting on a whim desperate for a pair of shoes.

  • @sollibop WHATS WRONG WITH GETTING SHOES!!

  • @FireMast23 Nothing I guess. If the guy had a hankering for some suede moccasins fair enough but when your desire for a pair of shoes leads you into one of the more disastrous battles in history then you've gotta wonder would it have been better to wear some flip flops?

  • @sollibop A soldier with wet feets for longer than 12h will get a trench foot. The americans lost more soldiers because of this illness than through landmines. So from this point of view it makes sense to get new shoes.

  • ccasia2008 is a Caucasian Southerner; I checked his IP address :P

  • never mind, he's a white trash and a fucking loser with no brain.

  • General Lee didn't have Cav on the first day of the battle. Before he left Virginia, he authorized Stuart to raid near DC. When Stuart moved to join Lee, he found that the Yankee army was in his way. Stuart didn't join Lee until the afternoon of the second day.

  • more than a waste of power, but more a waste of innocent lives, maybe those who would have turned out to be the next Einstein, Obama, or even to kid that would grow up to find the cure for Aids. not a loss of power. a loss of ourselves...

  • Comment removed

  • The Confederates were really stupid they charge in every major battle

  • what you expect from a redneck lol

  • I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't say shit to a rednecks face, you don't have the balls

  • Calm down jim bob

  • @ccasia2008

    Is funny how wrong you are. People from Asia mostly criticize the conservatives and the racists. For instance, Japan is a great example on how the joke these people. You are example of why the Asians joke the conservatives.

  • Whoa man calm down with the stereotypes those ''rednecks" is part of the american spirit srsly watch family guy lol

  • This is a web video sharing website, not a blog for racist people that can't shut up!!!!

  • The great generals of the Civil War mostly came from the Confederate side. Gettysburg was Lee's major mistake, not his modus operandi.

  • Actually Lee seems to have made one big mistake after another, if you study the war, you see he really wasn't as clever a general as was proclaimed, in fact the opposite is true. I think it was his personality and charisma people are more drawn to.

  • what do you think about sheman and grant??

  • Very true to both of you.

    The American is clearly not winning anything in Irag right now, they have already losing their allied in the war (South Korea) and now Australia is planning to leave as well.

    American went into this war to FIGHT not to win. The same thing everytime, which to me is a waste of power.

  • The mention of the 20th Maine gave me some goosebumps. As a Mainer I have done lots of research on it and Chamberlain.

    If Sun Tzu lived to that day he would have made a 14th principle. Don't fight Mainers in the woods.

  • It's true, today's technology is new, but the idea is ancient.

    Best Wishes.

  • But still, people are still fighting the same ways. HEAD ON. USA been doing this since WWII till now the Iraq War, try to kill as much enemy as they can with their military power.

  • true, war of attrition is a waste of lives...

    but still,,, they continue...

  • because some nations keep threatening other nations.

  • @TitusLabienus good or bad thing?

  • @patsfreak However he would've of came up with a new principle on how to destroy marines in the woods. lol

  • @JBXyooj because he's Chinese! :)
