History Lesson Battle of Yarmouk

Raymond Ibrahim video Battle of Yarmouk
If you ever get the chance take the tour of Fredericksburg. The Confederates had the high ground and the  Federal troops were attacking. The Reb's were appalled at the Federal troops actions And when asked what to do Stonewall Jackson said "Kill them all" Bad  day to be a Yankee
 I know A man who was in the surge in Irag 2006.They had gone to a school on a meet and great handing out supplies to students. The next day insurgents went and killed students ,He told me this story and when asked what to do he said "Kill them all"
 This is a from Marco Polo [1271-1295]" The extremist will cut your Head off the moderate will just hold  your legs"
 The Battle of Yarmouk was in 8-15-636 and if you watch the video you will see the plan hasn't changed. He tells the story as a historian and I found it interesting that they are still using the same plan 1400 years later

I have that experience with AI... I guess the AI devs thing more is better even when it has nothing to do with the subject.

I spent 8hrs or so in Chemo today, so my head is all over the place. But the gist of what I was trying to say is, all the military colleges teach these types of tactics going all the way back to the ancient Greeks and Romans and Alexander the Great etc.

Stonewall Jackson taught at WestPoint although he did so reluctantly. He studied this stuff constantly and but also relied heavily on Bible scripture and prayer.  If Stonewall was still alive at Gettysburg, Lee would of used him instead of Longstreet's cav, and the CSA would of won that battle imo.

I pray that the treatment works
