I would consider myself a pretty average soldier been soldiering for the past decade and 65lbs for 16 miles per day is a high pace and load for any sustained infantry operations. Issue isn't with muscular strength its the amount of broken ankles collapsed backs, and heat casualties you get when you carry a load for that long. Half your force would never make it to the fight.
@@TomG-f4r preferably for sure and in COIN nothing over 45 referably less, I was thinking the max load I would have my infantry guys do in a LSCO environment at max speed.we could probably do it for a week or 2 max.
Oh I absolutely listen all the way through, cant get enough of these episodes. :D I think I could listen to you guys as background noise for 4h and I still would feel like I can go another hour
I have you know I listen through all of your videos and the commercials to provide y’all with the most views and ad revenue. Y’all are amazing and I love your dynamic
The historical load limit for an infantryman to carry was 40 pounds, going back even to Roman times. You have to realize that canned and preserved foods were invented for Napoleon's armies, but were always available in the quantities needed
I was a paratrooper when I was in the Army. My full combat load was 120 lbs. That was only 3 days of supplies. Most of that weight was ammo (M16 with a M203) for my weapon and the crew served weapons that were attached to the platoon
Just imagine someone meeting Napoleon in Assassin's Creed Unity and thinking "he seems nice. I wonder what happened to him afterwards?" Then they Google him and their mind is blown.
Napoleon is a rather well known figure (in general historic sense, if not precise detail), so I have trouble believing this scenario, but maybe I misjudge how young people play AC, or how completely useless teachers are of late…
@@8.6GivenAdqVacSysm Plenty of kids played the AC games (and still do, I assume), so it's perfectly viable. More, Napoleon had a distinctly European legacy, barring Egypt. The average American or Canadian might know about the War of 1812, but not the details of Europe tearing itself to shreds. Then you have the Middle East, Asia, large swathes of Africa, where people would understandably know more about history in their part of the world.
I usually listen to you and Gabby's shows on Amazon music so it's hard to make any kind of comment you guys would see so I had to hop in here to say yes I would absolutely love another episode of basically any podcast you guys have ever put together on your show her and brenna's
If you love drama, read Suetonius. His 12 Caesars is written more like a diary entry rather than a history book. I havent finished it myself, but it is an interesting read
Just read the comments of literally any podcast video episode they put out. It's ridiculous how many people don't realize the essential role she serves as a stand-in for the everyman, average person who isn't a history nerd or never had an interesting history teacher. She breaks up his tangents and asks questions that the audience themselves are commonly thinking. Also, why are you complaining? She barely talks in this episode lol
Napoleon’s Italian campaign to learn about as it’s one of his most skilled and he is in a really bad place and still was spectacular. Rivoli is my favorite of his battle and it’s shame it’s not covered more
I would like to add I know Napoleon is Corsican from Red Dwarf and the famous line "If you put Napoleon in quarters with Lister, he'd still be in Corsica peeling spuds. "
I totally think we should highlight more women in history! But I think if the whole Netflix docu-dramas are a disservice. There are numerous amazing stories from around the world that highlight women! It’d be awesome to see a show about Mary Seacole.
All I'm saying is if the roles were reversed and it was Tony Scott making this movie and Ridley Scott being the one who passed away. The Napoleon movie would have been significantly better
what is the source on the quicklime claims? it doesnt add up. quicklime is not acidic, its the opposite of acidic. its an alkaline. its used to balance acidity levels. quicklime doesnt dissolve bodies, it actually does the opposite. it dries them out and preserves them. it was used historically on bodies because it stopped the smell. it sped up the period for which bodies were smelly, not the decomposition time. p/h is a 14 point scale, 6 and below is acidic, 7 and up is alkaline. quicklime is 12.5. quicklime, and other types of less concentrated lime is literally used on farms to lower the acidity of soil.
Probably the better word would have been caustic. I would imagine it would be more of a way to hinder armies through blindness, impacting breathing and definitely would take away the top layers of skin if not washed off.
I see "écureuil" is often on lists of hard to pronounce French words. If it can make you feel better, I have never seen French people struggle with any English word as much as with "squirrel" - apart from "Worcestershire", that is 😅
Bayonettes weren't deadly because they made a t shaped wounds... they were dealt because you were skewered by a dirty foot long spike. A "T" isn't mystically difficult to stitch up...even if it was, it's all the internal damage (like piercing an organ or vein/artery) and infection that stitches don't help with that will kill ya.
What are you talking about? The podcast has been out since before he got on RU-vid. This is a video version of a podcast episode. They put one of these out a week and everything else is just him. Maybe try to know what you're talking about before saying something that's gonna make you look foolish 😂😂😂
Whats up with you people like no friends, no talent or just pure sexist? Like this format is amazing because gabby helps ask questions so people can get a better grasp.
