@@Outlier999 On the subject of apocryphal anecdotes: During a history lecture I once heard a professor say "Even if he never said this, he should have." I forget the exact thing the professor was talking about, but it was something out of classical history, anyways I digress. His point was that even if a quote or anecdote was apocryphal, good ones get the point across quite well. Regardless if they actually happened. While you are correct that there is no record of him saying this... He should have. food for thought: Prior to all the recording of the last 150-200 years (the Victorian age is when it all kicks into overdrive for the first time, that is when you see things like categorization and whatnot go nuts). All the quotes and speeches and whatnot that we have from this or that person, are universally agreed to be representations of what people said, especially when talking speeches. It isn't until the development of things like dictation machines that we really get what people said verbatim. Even then, at best we can only truly say things like "there is no record of them saying that", which is not the same as "they never said that". Granted in common use, those are conflated all the time.
The germans generals said it because they all know the potential industrial machinery that is built into America. That is why germans are not eager to have a conflict with the americans.
Summary: Human ships carry huge tons of resources Alien race starts attacking the ships like pirates Humans get mad and get their military to easily crush the aliens
Thx for the summary. I prefer the the stories that focus more on talking about why humans are physically or intellectually dangerous in combat scenarios or political fumbles that lead to humanity having to lash out. I find the stories about human ships or fleet engagements to be impersonal and a slog to get through. So thx for saving me some time.

On occasion, a warrior race will treat the Terran book "THE ART OF WAR" as a joke. Only to learn one the many of the arts which Human are good at included WAR.
The level of most of these war stories is WW 2 level tactics. Glassing planets and blowing up suns is a waste of real estate and star systems , and shows very poor tactics and management. I woulds think that more refined targeting or use of systems to convert planets directly into usable planetary bodies and commodities for the combatants. I am referencing the device used in one of the Star Trek movies that quickly terraform a planet. Another idea is instead of shields, develop a system that captures or absorbs and repackages matter and energy of war ordnance into useful packages for use. This is science fiction. Why not not explore ways to convert swords into plowshares on the battlefield?
Admiral Yamamoto, after Pearl Harbor: "...I fear all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve..."
He never said that. The screenwriter did.

@patrickmiano7901 I believe it was for the film Tora!Tora!Tora!. In modern times, I believe it's just called Tora!
He may or may not have said it but he damn sure believed it
The germans generals said it because they all know the potential industrial machinery that is built into America. That is why germans are not eager to have a conflict with the americans.
Humans: You think you can kill us? WE CAN'T EVEN KILL US!
Summary:
Human ships carry huge tons of resources
Alien race starts attacking the ships like pirates
Humans get mad and get their military to easily crush the aliens
and probably convert their carrier fleet to be part of the military forces

Well put together. And there was nothing wrong with how the story was told, Made perfect sense it was smooth😊
Never antagonize a war like race that stopped being war like.
Peaceful is not the same as harmless, a harmless creature cannot hurt you, a peaceful creature chooses not to harm you!

Speed run on how to kill your species
So the Tyts went tits up.
(never be sorry for your puns)
lmao
👍👍👍
The Tyt Government Supports this Like I'm giving you.
😂
LMAO!
Great fun! Thanks!
This one gets saved to listen to again.

Now that I've tried it, I don't think I can live without it.
Bill Nye
Awesome
Yes, a very good approach, good story. 👍
Good job!
Btw “Dihydrogen monoxide” is water.
As some one has already said: Well put together. And there was nothing wrong with how the story was told, Made perfect sense it was smooth
Well this is the first story of a star going super NOVA.
How big are those Terran Super Cargo carrier?? With a crew over 500, it must be massive.
Well it's a SUPER cargo carrier not just Carrier
Well HMS Victory had a crew of 821 at Trafalgar. HMS Rodney had a crew of 1361 so not that big.
@@lesley1174 Okay so modern cargo ships have 8000 to 12000 container for a crew of about 150 maximum!
Imagine declaring war without an army 😂😂 that is stupid. 😂😂😂
That very much depends on your industrial base and your willingness to ruthlessness
WOW
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙋🏻♂️
Looks like things went TyT’s up
On occasion, a warrior race will treat the Terran book "THE ART OF WAR" as a joke. Only to learn one the many of the arts which Human are good at included WAR.
I like the sleeping gaint story. Lololol
Dihydrogen Monoxide ? LOL 😆
Lesson: Don't ____ with America's boats!
Sounds more like a history lecture, not a short story.

What a bunch of Tyts
Sounds like millennials pissing of Gen-X. FAFO.
Yet another story who base underlying plot follows the plot following up to and after the 9/11 attacks.
The loud inhales of the narrator are annoying.
Interestingly, I thought that was an intentional "Vaderism"....
This story was kind of meh.
This comment was kind of meh
To may commercials in 12 minutes. Bye-bye.
Too many adverts, made me quit listening
The Terran's doubletalk ruined the story. Plain speaking would have made it a more enjoyable story.

A poor version of this story.
Worst writing ever, nothing is understandable.
Talking about war in metaphors that was interesting
