THE HOLY CRUSADES Monty Python's Terry Jones (Part 1)

THE HOLY CRUSADES
"The First Crusade"
By Monty Python's Terry Jones
(Part 1 of however many God wants)

Introduction to Emperor Alexius & The Turks.

The purpose is to show parallels between Old War "Quagmires" & Modern War "Quagmires", because so often people dont realize there is so much more to "Winning a War" than what happens on any battlefield regardless of how many battles there are. Unless people are willing to entirely slaughter the other people (which is almost impossible because there will always be a few left), the Victory really comes for the "Military in Control" with negotiation agreements. When the Alpha ignores the need for free communication, its often leads to their downfall.
