The Apache: Ultimate spec-ops warrior of the past.

[Tim22410]

Ambush, hit and run, attack silently, take your enemies weapons and tools of war off the battlefield, melt back into the night. The Apache were the first special forces. When Airborne paratroopers jump out of the aircraft, what name do they yell...GERONIMO! Out of respect. The U.S. army to this day follow what they learned in the Apache War.

..... I wish I had more of a native American background.... And I wish that more of them where around...

[Sethtyphon]

I've read several accounts of the running prowess of the Apache warrior.They say that the Apache warrior could run 50 to 75 miles a day . They could cover more distance on foot than the cavalry could on horseback.

[GoBlackwater]

Just the fact that US Spec. Ops. teams still use Apache style edged weapon, hand-to-hand and other fighting techniques is a testament to what kind of warriors the Apaches are.

i never knew the apaches would use guns

[leishou]

Their favorite was the bow and arrow and lance,,,, but they used guns a lot, the problem was getting ammo. They were crack shots! Geronimo could out shoot marksmen into his 80's even as a prisoner at fort sill.

[helldog134]

[TheNativeAmericanboy]

Spanish are White! Most Hispanics are mixed bloods of Aztec/Maya and Spanish blood.

@helldog134 And yet you use a computer.

[Lynwe]

you wrote "the native american taoist" but how come they were taoist ? isn't taoism a chinese religion/philosphy?

[leishou]

I'll send you a message! to long to post here..

[TheNativeAmericanboy]

I heard the Apaches no longer hold American citizenship is that true? Well they are very brave and courageous people.

[leishou]

I doubt that! They couldn't live here if they were not citizens! They still have reservations in Arizona, besides we know who the real citizens are right?

[TheNativeAmericanboy]

Well ofcourse their the real and rightful citizens, but I heard they revoked some of the treaties they had with the U.S and are no longer U.S citizens. Their indeed a brave people. Also are they Catholics because of the Spanish influence? Thanks for this video.

[leishou]

what are your sources? I haven't heard that. They have different beliefs,,some hold to the old ways, while others don't. Your welcome for the video,,my pleasure.

Doksah

[TheNativeAmericanboy]

I see, I heard from of my freinds, not real documented sources. I see, their old ways are really intersting and more beautiful than the new or modern ways. Thanks for the welcome. Geranimo is one of my favourite heroes, a true man, who died in order to protect his people.

[mariotttttttt]

make me proud to be an apache

[limeheadrickey]

im part apache but you wouldnt be able to tell sense im 5% apche and 90% irish

[mrblond2]

The decimation of native populations by European invaders is a tragedy that played out in too much of the world. It is a great tragedy that these humans are primarily marginalized in the lands that were once theirs.

The American experience has been one marked by bloodshed and cruelty towards many great people. It is a part of our history that is too often neglected and never given just due. Instead we learn of Manifest Destiny.

For those who forget history are prone to repeat its mistakes

[FacultyFan]

I wouldnt count the indian out just yet. They will make a come back.

[christusfactusest]

this is so sad! i like native americans and other native people of the world.

[titansoul1]

[PulseOfTheAwakening]

wow if only i lived in that time... as an apache ofcourse^^ i would be so honored

[ozoomiy]

apache are still alive today in Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma

[hector0282]

There's Geronimo at 1:42, "he displayed prowess as a warrior and raider at a young age; he began to hunt with men when he was eight or ten. He demonstrated skill in making and carrying out war. Apaches have been described as nearly perfect human specimens by those who are close to them. They are an athletic people."

[leishou]

I just posted an article you might enjoy on my website about the fighting tactics of the Apache.

Thanks
