      @Time Keeper I couldn’t help but notice you only mention “US Special Forces”, from which I deduce that you’re yet another American that thinks of the American military as the greatest, but feel free to correct it.
      You have no idea how disappointing it is when reading an incorrect comment about a song when the lyrics are “I was with the special forces…”, but to imagine that only Americans were in Afghanistan is showing a great deal of disrespect to all the allies that fought and died there.

    Horses time in war has come and gone, but it still boggles my mind that for thousands of years, only until a little over 100 years ago, horses were one of our greatest tools and weapons, and all it took was one war to change everything

    I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
    Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
    I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
    I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
    I?m a horse soldier, eternal, through and through
    I's with Custer and the 7th in ?76 or ?77
    Scalped at Little Big Horn by the Sioux
    And the tears and devistation of a once proud warrior nation
    This I know ?cause I was riding with them too
    I drank mare's blood on the run when I rode with the Great Khan
    On the frozen Mongol steppe when at his height
    I's a White Guard, I's a Red Guard, I's the Tsar's own palace horse guard
    When Romanov was murdered in the night
    I knew Salah al-Din and rode his swift Arabians
    Harassing doomed crusaders on their heavy drafts
    And yet I rode the Percheron against the circling Saracen
    And once again against myself was cast
    Well I've worn the Mounties crimson, if you're silent and you listen
    You'll know that it was with them that I stood
    When Mayerthorpe, she cried, as her four horsemen died
    Gunned down in scarlet, coldest blood
    I's the firstest with the mostest when I fought for Bedford Forrest
    Suffered General Wilson's Union raid
    Mine was not to reason why, mine was but to do and die
    At Crimea with the charging light brigade
    On hire from Swiss or Sweden, be me Christian, be me heathen
    The devil to the sabre I shall put
    With a crack flanking maneuver, I'm an uhlan alles uber
    Striking terror into regiment of foot
    I knew my days were numbered when o?er the trenches lumbered
    More modern machinations de la guerre
    No match for rapid fire or the steel birds of the sky
    With a final rear guard action I retreat
    No match for barbered wire or the armoured engines whine
    Reluctant I retire and take my leave
    Today I ride with special forces on those wily Afghan horses
    Dostum?s Northern Alliance give their thanks
    No matter defeat or victory, in battle it occurs to me
    That we may see a swelling in our ranks
    I?s with the Aussies at Beersheba took the wells so badly needed
    And with the Polish lancers charging German tanks
    Saw Ross' mount shot down at Washingtown the night we burned the White House down
    And cursed the sack of York and sons of Yanks

    What does de la guerre mean?

    • @50millionmarkindebt78
      @50millionmarkindebt78  2 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      La Guerre means "the War" in French.
      But it means something different.
      There is a quit famous German Book about Strategy that is named "Vom Kriege" from a General called Clausewitz.
      And "Vom Kriege" is called "De La Guerre" in French.
      Corb Lund talks about "Vom Kriege" cause Clauswitz talked in his book about how War changed and a more Mobile approch is needed, which was basis for most of the German Doctrin in the last Century and which founded the Blitzkrieg and Tank Warfare.

      Our colleagues from the SAS were also there, so your comments trying to make it out to be a purely American only operation, shows a great deal of disrespect and disservice to those that were fighting alongside the American SF.
      With that attitude it’s hardly surprising that a lot of countries distrust/hate narrow minded Americans especially those that believe, without reason, that they’re the only ones fighting the terrorists. Would you care to amend your incredibly inaccurate comments or do you prefer to stick with your biased, inaccurate BS?

      As far as narrow minded goes, that isn't correct. They where factually American dominated wars, yes we had a coalition that had many nations contributions, bit it doesn't change that the GWOT was an American campaign, started by Americans, because of an attack on America.

      You need to pay attention to the lyrics more. It has nothing to do with Being bias towards Americans. Yes several other NATO allies fought in Afghanistan. But that part of the song is in reference to American Green Berets who were the first to boots on the ground in Afghanistan in 2001. Fighting alongside the Northern Alliance led by General Abdul Rashid Dostum, the troops, often riding on horseback, achieved important victories against the Taliban. As far as I know no other nations troops fought on horseback in Afghanistan. Again it has nothing to do with Bias towards Americans he's just simply singing history as he did throughout the song. The singer himself is Canadian and mentions Canadian Mounties and many other nations. Just listen, enjoy and revel in the history mentioned in the lyrics.
