General Vo Nguyen Giap should or must be promoted to five stars general, he won all the Vietnam wars, and United the Vietnam north and south. He does not graduate from any military academy but the nature train him to be one of the best general. RIP general
He never seen himself different from other comrades of his. Pride never stole his heart, his heart was always with the people, respected by all, even his enemies. He was the best exemplary human, military tactician and Communist. May his soul forever rest in peace.
Why the red Napoleon ? Why naming a vietnamese Gle who beat the french army of Napoleon the Red Napoleon ? Iam pretty sure there is enough Vietnamese ancient heroes who he can be named after easily, that's another way to belittle his accomplishment by naming him after Napoleon, he doesnt need that !
@@serialbert6810 Napoleon won the most battles in history and is generally considered to be the greatest military commander of all times (or at least on the podium). So put some respect on his name (not to mention, he fought other great commanders, such as Wellington, Blucher, Kutuzov, who are considered to be amongst the best as well, whereas Giap never fought generals of such a caliber). Then, if you look at the casualties (with all due respect to Nguyen Giap), the Vietnamese general took huge casualties compared to the ones he inflicted. Look at Napoleon's campaigns: he is often outnumbered yet wins in crushing fashion (ex: Austerlitz: he had 65k men against 85k opponents, he had 7k casualties yet inflicted 36k casualties on his opponents. Similar stats can be seen at Jena, Friedland, Marengo, Lodi...). Conclusion? You can't compare both men: completely different contexts and eras. By the way, there's something called WAR (Wins Above Ranking), which compares generals across eras: Napoleon comes first by far. The French army of 1954 was 133 years after Napoleon's death, so beating a French army then doesn't mean you would have beaten France's army from then, far from that. Completely historically inaccurate, go open a book. You're mixing stuff up which have 150 years between them.
@@aa6dcc Of course Napoleon would be ahead in "Wins Above Ranking", he was an invader, Giap was a defender. That's like comparing a serial rapist's body count, to a family man's. Granted, numbers wise, Napoleon was a GOAT, but calling General Giap "Red Napoleon" misses the point on who he was and shows a lack of empathy for the Vietnamese.
@@Yo_Kelz as soon as you compared Napoleon, an outstanding leader, general and legislator who had a lot of empathy for his troops and civilians and was down to earth, rose from a bankrupt family to ruler of Europe to a rap1st, you lost all form of credibility and have shown how little historical knowledge and objectivity you have. Don’t come waffling about bias after that b0z0
@@Yo_Kelz and this isn’t about empathy for the Vietnamese, Giap used very aggressive tactics and planted booby traps everywhere that sure as hell isn’t defensive by any means. He suffered many losses, where’s the empathy for his casualties? Or for the brutal Vietnamese war criminals why should there be any empathy?
