Humans are an odd, almost paradoxical group. We fight each other like we hate each other, but when we work together, things change. When it comes to a common enemy… If the population of a single city unites, the whole country notices. If the population of a country unites, the whole world notices.

The revelation that the war for the humans began when the first shot was fired. They didn’t need to engage in combat to be at war, the mindset was still there. We studied them to the point we could predict their movements ten steps before they would make them. We knew how the battle would play out
I think it’s actually kind of accurate. Other species may be “smarter” as in they value equality and utopia more than we do, so they have less interior fighting, they build a better society but they lack practice at warfare. We’ve practiced it for thousands of years, our economies are practically built for wars already.
One book helps the humans to prepare for any war. The title of the book is "The Art of War." Humans treat war as an art which to master as well as improve. The humans have written other books to supplement The Art of War. One method which humans use in war is deception. To fool their supposedly superior foes, the humans pretend to be weak in matters involving war. The Humans studied their enemy in order to find their weaknesses as well as to fool them as they prepared for war. Once the humans find many of their enemies' weaknesses, they start to attack in various ways. Some of which involved some Hit and Run tactics. These hit and run tactic help to weaken their enemies. Often to the point of confusing them as well as weakening them a little before the first round of major attacks.
There are several books that help humans prepare for any war. The Art of War, attributed to Sun Tzu is one. Vom Kriege (On War) by Prussian general Carl Philipp Gottfried von Clausewitz is another. Personally, I am a fan of the Go Rin No Sho by Mijamoto Musashi as that is also applicable in other situations like business.
Never has a more incongruous word been used to describe the battle strategies of the human forces..."inhuman". Ludicrous, when the story is told from an alien's perspective. The battle, strategies, execution were very, very human. The author used that turn of phrase several times, incorrectly. That's a fail.
Agreed, that stood out to me also. It's how you can tell the writer is very much an amateur. The words "impossible", "unbelievable" or any number of other words could have easily been used there. It's like when someone defines a word with the word itself. Logic fail.
Maybe someone should tell the Kidare there's no such thing as cheating in war there is winning and losing just keep the innocent out of the cross hair whenever possible
Reminds me of the The False Mirror books by Alan Dean Foster. A galactic wide war accidently finds earth - a technically advanced planet with relatively high gravity and one of the rare type... the apex species is a predator (human). The planet? Earth. Suddenly humans become the most valuable force in the galaxy - admired and hated for their propensity for and expertise at violence.
I always thought a great premise for a sci fi story would involve humanity making its first extrasolar breakthrough only to realize that the big bad alien monsters out there are nothing compared to us. They have been silently watching our savagery throughout our development and they made the decision to quarantine our entire solar system like North Sentinal Island when we developed internal combustion.
Reminds me of the scene in The Fifth Element where Korben shoots the head troll in the head and one of the others said "when did we learn to negotiate like that?"
Being former Armored Cav and an Abrams Tanker, yep. Not to mention a native New Englander whose family has been here since the early 1600's. It's why Washington beat the British, he didn't face them head on w/brute force, he used tactics.
With all due respect, no one thing lead, on its own, to the outcome of the American Revolution. The British had logistics issues, their generals and officers also regularly refused to cooperate with one another, especially Sir William Howe and Sir Henry Clinton. The forced quartering of British troops, which included not only being forced to house them, but feed and provide for them as well also led to many colonials losing their support for the British, to say nothing of the blockade on salt imports, as salt was vital back in that era for preserving food, in industrial uses such as salt glazing pottery, making gunpowder, setting dyes into fabric and curing leather. They were overstretched due to commitments elsewhere in the world, as well as guerilla warfare tactics, which the Americans employed far better and more extensively than the British did, especially in the Southern theatre.
most likely by what the aliens observed about human's however if the aliens only observed human's just doing logistical stuff then they may have just read humans incorrectly, it would be even easier to misread a species if you only see half of their personality ( ie peaceful side ) and not the fighting side
I interpreted it as the aliens were describing the Humans as unlike they have seen from Humans before. To an alien that only ever knew a human species that was considered “isolationist” like was mentioned, this would seem “inhuman”. Or, maybe they were referring to humanity as “in-[insert alien species name]”. Sort of how us humans call robots/ai “inhuman”
Thats just the thing about Humans, we have spent literally THOUSANDS of years PERFECTING warfare into an art form. So ANY alien species that HASNT done that, would never stand a chance against Humans. The ONLY way they could even HOPE to have a chance would be to have technology so superior to ours, that it makes our weapons useless. But EVEN THEN, that would only last for so long. Because humans have ALSO spent MILLIONS of years learning to adapt. So an alien species' BEST bet to defeat humans, would be to take us ALL out in ONE strike.
@@lawrenceschneider5637 You missed the point, it's a quote from Teddy Roosevelt about his philosophy on war. You don't actively try to provoke war (speaking softly), you simply stay prepared for it (big stick).
The story would have improved in terms of being more interesting if they had the backstory of HOW the humans developed the precision, WHY they developed the ships they did to allow their quick strike approach, WHAT their thinking was in how they made their attack and how their thinking differed from their allies, WHAT their operational doctrines were and why and how they differed from those of the Coalition. Putting this in context, the story demonstrates how a controlled, professional, innovative, ruthless humanity managed to take apart an enemy that the Coalition forces with a sort of mass-action slaughter reminiscent of WWI military thinking. In a sense, the interesting thing was how humans developed the idea of "undoing" their enemies with a multifaceted approach, informed by thoroughly understanding the enemy's weaknesses in detail. In a sense, humans follow a very Sun Tzu-type thoughtful strategic approach, surgically abd lethally cutting through weaknesses rather than inefficiently fighting mass slaughter campaigns. In another sense, the humans were humans at their best, clear thinking, thorough, creative, resolute and clear about discarding the ideologies and delusions of the sides but instead in a manner reminiscent of the Non-Aristotelian ("Null-A") thinking of A. E. Van Voght's great Null-A novels saw to the core of what was actually true, focused not on an ideological map but on the real territory of enemy resources, dispositions, propensities and thinking more clearly acted more effectively than their ideological opponents ever could. In that sense more Patton than Sun Tzu although both were Null-A thinkers :-) Anyway a story with a lot of possibilities that could be the basis for a book or a movie with some development - giving the back story and building to how this battle transpired.
War is a way for politicians to get their own citizens on side, whenever the governments come under criticism from their own people for either bad governance or policies. Falkland Islands conflict comes to mind: Argentina was coming under internal attacks for “disappearing “ citizens, and the UK had some dissatisfaction from northern mining and steelworkers. An oversimplified take on the situation, I’m sure, but in both countries their citizenry became patriotic. Argentina has still not admitted defeat, as far as I know. If you look at the Royal families of Europe, most of them were related to each other. So how could we really expect them to truly hate each other. It’s a ploy to keep in power
I agree by and large. But I disagree with "Family cannot really hate each other". Hate is a intimate thing. Its best done between family and friends. Take for example divorce or heritage.
You had an ok premise, until your last sentence. That simply shows your complete lack of understanding of politics and Western Europe for, oh, the past 400-500 years. Go back and read about WW1, but the other wars in the 1800's and early 1900's in Europe and Eastern/Western Europe and rethink your very misled last sentence.
War, as it is conducted nowadays, is not a game of forces clashing. It is a surgical destruction of threats before they could ever be utilized. If you want an example of this, look at breakdowns of Operation Desert storm or the Battle of Conoco Fields.
Ah I thought i was listening to a story from the great Eric Frank Russel. A master story teller in the genre of terra Uber Alles. It’s a shame most of his works are out of print.

The depths of depravity and malice that humans can show have lead to us not only being a race who is good at war but one who has mastered it on ourselves.
Reminds me of the box game Starfire where you could build an empire, an econmy and ships to explore the universe and try to conquer the other players.😊
I'm personally surprised the aliens don't already fight something like this. These are not exactly complex strategies or tactics, or even attitudes towards war. The end result is aweing, but the method is comparatively simple.
It could be because most of the other species have never dealt with actual war before. Maybe humans are an outlier that just really love conflict and have learned a lot from it. Either way this kinda stuff makes me so hype lol
I believe this conventional weapons are ballistic projectiles where energy shields would cause them to melt and shatter that causes piercing and more damage like a flak cannon to the enemy ship armor. While the human ship have both Energy Shields, Point Defense, and Armor Plating. I believe the aliens weapons use energy base weapons where energy shields is enough.
I love how we hype up our own species to such an extent that even seemingly omnipotent fictional aliens tremble at our feet. As if all other species that travel the stars wouldn't have a similar upbringing of warfare and the same level of efficiency as us lol.
