      yeah actually, you do miss or replace words and phrases periodicall, but this is a natural folley any reader is guilty of. I frequently have to pause and read, because I jump paragraphs ahead while reading when particularly engrossed in the tale. And you tend to pick the good ones.
      Of the few such voiceover channels (when will TH-cam abandon that outdated title?) I've seen, gifted to me by the Almighty Algorithm you're my favorite so far for just getting to the fucking point. You read it aloud quickly enough to follow along, and don't bother with any bullshit before or after.
      Honestly, your purity is refreshing.

    9:53 Try dating back to the age of sail. My friends family have had a person in the navy since the war of 1812 that he can trace back. I talked to a english friend of mine who told me his great great grandfather fought at Trafalgar, he is now a Midshipman in the British royal navy.. poor mercs gave us a reason to fight someone other than ourselves..

      I met a guy, a German, his family had been military since the days of the Holy Roman Empire. Ritter, his surname, means knight, and even with the decline of the Nobility, his family had served in the various militaries through to today. That's a millennium of military service.

    Nice to remember that wars are primarily extreme forms of culture clashes. The mercenaries were so focused on the coin, that they didn't understand how others couldn't be. I'm sure some merc groups could have been folded into local governments. And much loss of life could have been avoided if terrans trained other military for the xenos.

    Around 15:00 he skips an entire 2 lines of writing. This is not the first mistake. Earlier in the video he called the marines marcinaries. Tho I can forgive that considering the context. Hopefully this is a one off. I like this channel. But I'm not gonna keep watching if he isn't even gonna bother properly reading the story's I came for.
