IdrianKathe Civil war strategy was *not* always _line up in rows and shoot each other_ . There was more to it than that. In fact, some cases, trench warfare was used. - @Monday, January 25, 2016 8:38 AM

Don't think me crazy, but not only do I believe in past lives, I know I've had them -- and the only one I remember was one in which I was married to a man fighting in the Civil War. I distinctly remember things.... - @Wednesday, April 15, 2015 11:59 PM

The trailer was better than the actual movie. For a moment I thought I was going to get some Saving Private Ryan/Band of Brothers style film about the Civil War. - @Saturday, January 10, 2015 9:11 AM

America only "lost" because the public forced them to withdraw. If they invaded North Vietnam the war would have been over in a year. - @Tuesday, April 30, 2013 7:35 PM

The United States never agreed to ban Napalm and other incendiaries from our arsenals, but due to the gruesome nature of those types of weapons we tend to try and not use them. - @Sunday, February 24, 2013 6:57 AM

In this day & age, do you think that we might end up having another civil war? - @Saturday, January 12, 2013 4:58 AM

akatsukifanboy102

Well of course; They don't know standard rifle formations for a frontline battlion that's obvious. Concentrated fire was still a big deal even during the age of rifling and longer range and multiple shot firearms. - @Saturday, December 29, 2012 10:58 PM

IdrianKathe

My point is that they were using Napoleonic tactics for most of the American Civil War, which meant that in infantry battle formations the men would march shoulder to shoulder, not in loose formation like this video shows. The actors (not reenactors as they would have known better) in this video obviously did not know that and are utilising modern tactics, not period ones. - @Saturday, December 29, 2012 10:17 PM

It's not guerrilla warfare that's the problem. It's asymmetrical warfare. - @Monday, December 10, 2012 2:47 AM

How in the world did a conversation about herbicide ever come out of this video? - @Sunday, October 7, 2012 2:00 PM

MinutemanSam

Actually there is. Our problem was we came about the war as a Chessboard, instead of a Go board. We thought eliminating the enemy would destroy them. No. Instead, we should have focused on taking land as well as developing countermeasures against guerrilla warfare. - @Monday, September 24, 2012 2:47 AM

Agent Orange was a chemical herbicide. It wasn't used to kill people. It was used primarily to clear vegetation. It just so happens that it also killed people. - @Monday, September 24, 2012 2:45 AM

akatsukifanboy102

Well it was a common tactic to shell with artillery before having waves of men charge you know the tactics from about the 1720s to the 1920s. - @Monday, September 24, 2012 1:29 AM

IdrianKathe

And here all this time I thought that Civil War generals fought with linear tactics. I had no idea they ran forward individually, provided covering fire and took cover while advancing. This goes right up there with Ancient Aliens as one of the most informative programs I have ever seen. Not. - @Sunday, September 23, 2012 5:24 AM

Agreed with WW1 WW2 Korea. But the American Revolution that was Great Britian with Hessian Hanoverian mercenaries verses The United States, France, Spain the United Dutch provences with Native American support. the American Revoulution was one completley one sided at first in British favour and then in American. - @Monday, August 20, 2012 9:46 PM

There is acually one an only one way Hearts and Minds the Comanwelth had to deal with a similer situation in Malaya in the 1950s that was gurilar warfare and we won. - @Monday, August 20, 2012 9:41 PM

There is a strategy for everything.Guerrilla Warfare Tactics to the Vietnamese relied heavily on jungles. That is where agent orange and napalm came in. The problem was, to many civilian casualties. So it was obviously outlawed. - @Sunday, August 5, 2012 11:01 PM

Mr. Mercanto

I agree. Although so did the North, the North also had better strategists :P (not better tacticians though in my opinion :P). - @Sunday, July 22, 2012 1:46 PM

Mr. Mercanto

Add the Revolution, 1812, First World War, and Second World War to that list (America's war machine couldn't match Britain in the Revolution and Germany in the world wars without allied support, and visa versa for the other allies. As for 1812, America really didn't have an army, not a real one). Also, I wouldn't say the North was matched by the South. Judging military power via man power and industrial complex, its a miracle the South lasted as long as it did. - @Sunday, July 22, 2012 1:42 PM

Not Creative

Nah, If Napalm and the agent orange didn't get outlawed, we could have won, of course we had no business their in the first place. - @Saturday, July 7, 2012 4:02 AM
