"This is the basis of Dune... right? This is directly..." I shouted YES! At the screen. That's exactly what I was thinking all through Parts 2 & 3 of this.

The slaughter at Dera'a is the clearest case of "cool motive, still a war crime." I come down on the side with Robert - it's unequivocally a crime. It is, however, war and they committed that atrocity on people who had committed an atrocity before. Blood begets blood, and the point of conventions on human rights is to sort of prevent the *first* immoral act, because the first leads to a response which leads to a response ad infinitum. It's not justifiable, but it's deeply understandable.
The British Union of Fascists were making overtures to Lawrence in the 1930s to join; there is some discussion that his death was the result of British secret service action to prevent a famous war hero becoming a fascist figurehead or even a possible replacement for Mosley and a dictator - but this is not hugely likely. It's possible or even likely that Lawrence had fascist sympathies, but - again - this isn't really clear. His friend Henry Williamson (a Blackshirt) was trying to convince him to meet Hitler at the time of Lawrence's death. It should be noted that Lawrence also had friends like GB Shaw who was a socialist, as well as various fascists in his social circle, much like many famous people in the inter-war period. Perhaps fortunately for his memory he died before he could really take a plunge into the bleak fascist milieu. Brilliant series on a fascinating man who, as Margaret said, really did try to do the best he could for the people and region of the world he loved, but who was stymied by his position and the British government as well as his own conflicting sense of duty to Britain.
@@idontwantahandlethough Sophie is definitely the best written. That Robert character is a little too exaggerated and always messes with my suspension of disbelief. The machetes and gas station drugs alone...

Along with the conquests of Mohammed/ the Iranian revolution
"Margaret, have you killed 75 men in hand-to-hand combat?" Statistics is such an unromantic way of viewing these things.
Is that the usual crime every guest has to be jokingly connected to , hmm, allegently
Hearing Sophie laugh at non-jokes is hilarious for some reason.
She's not wrong though, that _was_ a funny sentence.
"No Chuds" is the lesser known TLC song

This was the "Oops! All War Crimes!" part of the war.
Also, good to see Robert wit h a transparent cup so we can tell he isn't housing cans of baked beans.

58:30 I'd say Lawrence was bastard-ish. He still fits in the show for being born a literal bastard.
Thanks y'all! Excellent story and writing and commentary and jokes and so beautiful and sad thank you

This episode was intensely interactive lol; emphasis on Sophie she was in the thick of (as a fellow Sophie supporter i loved this EP.

I wasn't prepared for the 'daddy's
Never been this early before. Neat!
Same 😂
Aaron Paul for the uncut remake
Lawrence and Bell vs Sykes and Picot
This is story arc is the closest thing reality has to Darth Revan.
If I were showing him a Willem Dafoe movie, a I'd probably go with Antichrist.
What's lying about everything to everyone my war heroes?!
Ugh, Daily Wire ads in the middle of the video...
The House always loses 😂
Huh, Lawrence has similar writing process to me...
I avoid writing these days.
He's literally not a bastard.
These episodes have been a huge stretch.
You're a huge stretch. 😊
You realize he is the most bastard of all the bastards because he was indeed born out of wedlock (the only actual thing you need to be a bastard.)
He was a bastard, literally- remember that his parents weren't married.
No, only about an hour each. For a life as complex as that of TE Lawrence, that's about sufficient.
Also, what part of war crimes don't you understand?
