The Art of War PART 2

The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that was written by Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC, during the Spring and Autumn period. Composed of 13 chapters, each of which is devoted to one aspect of warfare, it has long been praised as the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time, and one of the basic texts on the subject.

The Art of War is one of the oldest and most successful books on military strategy in the world. It has had a huge influence on Eastern military thinking, business tactics, and beyond. Sun Tzu recognized the importance of positioning in strategy and that position is affected both by objective conditions in the physical environment and the subjective opinions of competitive actors in that environment. He taught that strategy was not planning in the sense of working through a to-do list, but rather that it requires quick and appropriate responses to changing conditions. Planning works in a controlled environment, but in a competitive environment, competing plans collide, creating unexpected situations.

@acuragsr4 Sun Tzu advocates mobility, speed, surprise, deception, patriotism, and weighing the risks before declaring war. Bush did none of the tactical things Sun Tzu advocates doing, and made all the mistakes he warned against. Read Rudyard Kipling’s “The Gods of the Copybook Headings”, and “Recessional” for more information.

about the intermingling among the US forces to prevent bombraids, how the fuck did they avoid killing their own people when attacking

[frogger832]

@Nucci604 They did. Vietnam was occupied for a long time. So was Mongolia and Korea during the Qing dynasty.

This question was asked countless times, what's the song name at 3:30?

@redxar66 I'm latino. But don't be racist. Racism and predgidous only make you underestimate people. However, I will agree that white people have never seemed to be very good at waging war.

@strwar7 The only way to defeat a guerilla army is to win the hearts and minds of the people. The USA did not do this in Viet Nam.

[strwar7]

i understand about "Don't rely on military power" Then HOW the can people defeat a guerilla army?

[redxar66]

White people can never grasp the true concepts of this book in its entirety, not even with their master of Chinese language.

@Apollo5600 It is a failure, and was a lose. You can win every single battle and still lose the war.
