I don't know what's weirder, the fact that there was a war against emus, or the fact that we lost.
Going to war, no mad man on Earth besides Australia would go against the mighty emu empire
SkorpionMarauder You didn’t lose the government put bounties on the emus and the citizens killed most of them
Man, Australia is the coolest country in the world
Both
I'm planing on moving to Australia in 3 Years, i have the oportunity to live in USA but naaa Australia is much more Cool.

But, they lost to a bunch of birds. I know a guy who's in the Australian army. He was making fun of navies. Being a Navy guy, my self. I mentioned this war to him by saying "Says the guy who's part of an army that was beaten by a bunch birds" I said this to him afterwards "At least your navy wasn't beaten by a few birds"
That shut him up.

The emus obtained 0 kills, however.

The only major Australian casualty during the war was their dignity
Naw mate, their truck was disabled!
FLMKane thank you kanye, very cool notepad coding
Would have been a war if it were an army, but no it was two english twats with a machine guns
Don't worry about it , people been going to war with animals for thousands of yrs, ancient Egypt once went to war against a big group of crocodiles and there were estimated about 2000 if them cuz there population boomed and the Egyptians lost a dozen men and they manage to kill like about only 500 and had to wait it out till they left lol
@@tylersoto7465 About Ancient Egypt it was pretty understandable because there's no such "gun" in that time when all they had is primitive spears etc.

If the Emus can dodge bullets, why can't Soviets do that in Stalingrad? 😂
thats what I was thinking
Germans at Stalingrad : Well that was the most humiliating defeat ever.

lets take some time to remember the men who said goodbye to their family and risked their lives to fight the great Emu.

As a proud Australian, I thank the men that served in the Emu war, you risked your lives to defend us against birds... *Thank you*

You're the great plague of TH-cam
Australia is a weird place, it’s literally upside down, they have huge spiders that would be considered “mutants” here in the U.S, and they managed to lose a war to birds.
they managed to lose a war to birds that are UNABLE to fly.
Give a medal of honor for the Emu who sacrificed himself to stuck his head onto the steering wheel.
He have saved so many emu lives.
Imagine being the person who had to report that the Australian soldiers failed at killing a few birds. How awkward.
mrcomp imagine being the guy that failed to kill Emus.
well two men with lewis guns, 10000 bullets and a commanding officer, killing around a 1000 birds, i would't call that a few, if anything the two guys with the guns must have a amazing K/D.
Imagine being the soldier who had to report he failed at killing a few birds.
You mean “hawkward”.
Well in their defence there was *a lot* of Emus.

When I saw this video in my recommended, I thought it was a fictional, comedic story. Then you mentioned Australia, and I knew it was probably true.
Psycial world or not
I’m Australian and I’m not even pissed, it’s too true.
Could have said it was in Florida and I would have believed it
I dunno
Technically, this is the only official war that Australia has ever lost.
We have not forgotten, we veterans of the emu war. The flashbacks grip us at night. The smell of sulfur and burning grain, the sting of a claw, the endless cackling. The horrors never leave me or other veterans of the Great Emu War.
Panzer Commander The official story is not what really happened. There thousands of us. It was a blood bath.

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT WAS LIKE! THEY HID INSIDE OF OUR AMMO TRUCKS! EVERYTHING BURNED!
You wouldn’t understand man, you weren’t there!

That war ruffled some feathers I hear…
"Ok, it looks like the humans are coming
for us but I have an amazing plan here see if you can follow me"
"When they approach..... we run away"
"Sir........ You're a genius"

Nuke them from orbit once we have the space corps up and running
"It's the only way to be sure".
Get their oil once they land while there gone and if they retreat they'll have to surrender
It's us. wat?
Yoy should cover this war again, this time from the EMU perspective. It'll be an inspiring tale of a few savage unarmed emus standing up against a mighty Australian empire.
Here in Germany we have got Nandus (grey, one size smaller than Emus) which escaped from a farm and now became residential as an invasive species.
Normal hunters hardly have got a chance against them, as you only see their small heads which are near to impossible to hit with a single shot.
And so they keep spreading ...
Dang, these Emu’s could have survived D-day in WW2.. Especially Omaha Beach..
Actually the emus wouldnt be able to dodge a mg42 because its 1200 RPM fire rate
Yeah but they'd be effective in spreading panic and could be used as a bullet sponge. Only if the aussies could've caught a whole flock of emus then deployed to Normandy. Imagine how many lives would've been saved in D-Day.
use them as bait
@Pierce Seeto woooosh
@@ragheedbahnam8055 *1500
2:38 Wow, that Emu sacrificed itself to let his fellows escape. That is what I call a real war hero.

When they come, we run...away.
Sir
You're a genius
The fact the commander recognized the tactics the emus could use is saying something.
gotta always have a counter tactic against an intelligent opponent
If only we used them as diversions, strap bombs to them or learn to ride them & be used as shocktroopers of sorts.

“The Winter War was the most pointless war in history.”
Emus: Hold my beer.
3:33 The code name for the operation was "Why didn't I think of that sooner?"

This war randomly popped up in my mind and I had to watch a video on what in the world resulted in an “Emu War” 😂 thanks for the very informative video!
Hopefully in 20 years, Simple History does a video about the “war” between Colombia and Pablo Escobar’s hippos.
Australian/British Farmer: "Damn it! I survived Passchendaele! I survived hails of bullets and artillery fire! I nearly had my leg blown off! I earned this f***ing land! I will not be mocked by a bloody bird!"
Emu: *Bwak!*
Mocked by a bloody bird? What about mockingbird?
@@موسى_7 He needs to kill a mockingbird
KingDT2007, but how?
Farmer: Nooo I earned this fucking land through war and death and fucking Passchendaele You can't just take my land
Emus: Haha emu go BWAK BWAK
I have been waiting for this and the fact they lost is priceless. Lol
There was a culling of a pest, not a war.
I know this has become a meme, but seriously: It wasn't an actual war and it wasn't lost. They tried to get rid of vermin. The first attempt failed, the second succeeded. The only odd thing about this isn't the failure of the two machine gunners, it's that they actually tried to solve this with just two machine guns and one truck.
Duke Nukem it was a war
Duke Nukem
And the pests still won.
Duke Nukem

3:00 this dude straight up thinking about weaponizing emus
I never realised previously the farmers were ex-soldiers and specifically asked for military help, which brings a small degree of sense to an absurd story.
Before: Protect the emus!
Then: Kill the emus!
Now: Protect the emus again! (But it's secretly bcuz we can't win against them)
That could be the reason why Australia is a dessert specifically because The EMUs won the war versing the Environment.

Imagine just walking around and then seeing soldiers and emu’s in an all out war
A member of The Australian Parliament suggested that since the emus were so sucessful in their battles that they should be given medals
Now that is defeat
Grandson: Grandpa, were you in a war?
Grandpa: I was in a big one where we fought birds.
seriously can u imagine getting a medal for that, i killed a buncha birds, sure it was benificial for the farmers but ya know not quite what i would call commendable lololol

Except we won veatnam strategically. A month after we pulled out the north attacked again and we decided not to do anything
tis but a joke my friend
But Australia fought in Vietnam too.
They were in the crops man!!!
Make this a battlefeild 1 gamemode
When the Black Hawk helicopter was first being deployed in Australia, crews had to be trained to not fly too low over kangaroos, as they scatter and warn the enemy. When they were building the flight simulator, they decided to just re-skin light infantry as kangaroos. Helicopter approaches, "kangaroos" scatter...perfect. The following year, a bunch of USMC helicopter crew are preparing for coming to Australia. Into the simulator they go...one flies a bit low, so the kangaroos scatter...only to launch Stinger missiles 30 seconds later! (They'd forgotten to disarm the re-skinned infantry)
Unwinnable
Dalton Chew i mean for god sakes those kangaroos had stinger missile launchers. Im sure there were casualties in the emu war on the human side. A few emus got a hold of 1911s and killed some Australians
lol " 2:30 - 'Emu Kamikaze operations begin'
this changed history.
America: My national animal is the Eagle. It’s bold, strong and patriotic so we list this ad a protected species.
Australia: My national bird is the Emu. And it’s a PEST!!!
Also, bloody delicious!
the eagles basically endangered though, not so tough. Emus, on the other hand, take 10 bullets to kill and Australian eagles are 4x the size of American ones
Wait that sounds familiar
They're also ridiculously strong though, after the war live emus were found to have 10-30 bullets in them
They lived
Sorry Yankee, but your national bird is a cosplaying seagull. In my country (Finland) national bird (Cygnus cygnus) is known as highly protective parent which will beat you to pulp and looks magnificent while at it.

Yes our chancellor told us not to hit them

Losing to some birds seems imaginable and I would have never believed that the Australians lost

One must sacrifice for the thousand. That emu deserve a medal.
2:37
The most inspirational speech during this war was this :
The Emu Commander : "Bwaaa Bwak Bwak Bwak Bwak. Bwak Bwak Bwaaa Bwak Bwak. Bwaaa"
The Emu Soldiers : "Bwaaaaa"
Very inspirational!!
Bwaaaaaaa
