I'm actually writing a book where one of the major powers uses clone soldiers.

Law enforcement entities love this arrangement as they don't have to spend time and resources developing and maintaining their own SWAT units and the military loves it as it gives their troops some real world experience and no small measure of prestige

Mentioning the SS members in Vietnam brings me to think of another soldier. Lauri Törni was in the Finnish army in 1939 when the Soviets invaded. He fairly successfully defended Finland in the Winter War. Later during the Continuation War, when Finland joined the Nazis to fight the Soviets to reclaim their land, Lauri joined the SS to keep fighting when the war turned against the Axis. He later escaped to America, took the name Larry Thorne, and became the only member of the SS burried in Arlington after his helicopter was shot down in Vietnam.
"Why the Clone Army was the perfect occupying force." Because children don't complain when you enslave and force them to fight for a cause they were bred for. Well, they couldn't complain, because if they did the Kaminoans would terminate and grind them into protein paste and fed to their brothers.

@@GenerationTech The reason why the Germans had a fear of the Canadians by the Second World War, among other Allied forces, was because of their reputation (well-earned) from the First World War. Although not having an immediate introduction to the Western Front like the French and British, the Canadian Corps became one of the most effective, creative and inventive fighting forces on the Western Front during the First World War. Well-trained and overseen by British observers, and Canadian officers alike, the Canadians were never really considered shambolic from what I recall of the history of this. Canada was basically always loyal. The only thing that may have irked some stuffier characters in the elitist British High Command, may have been the reluctance of the Canadian leadership to commit troops to the Western Front (stalling as long as possible, from the Canadian PM down) This was not to say that the Canadians were considered slovenly. Never heard of that. Perhaps earlier on a degree of scepticism on their seriousness may have existed in some corners of the imperial bureaucracy but I really don't think that amounted to much. When the Canadians were fully deployed as a very decent contibution of about 90,000 to 100,000 men in around 3 corps sized units, they had a positive impact on the Western Front. Benefiting from being held back (in greater force; some Canadians did fight much earlier, as far back as 1915 ish) for so long until 1917 onward for the majority, in terms of being able to learn from the lessons of primarily the British and French, as well as simply have more time to train and receive increasingly better equipment e.g. replacing out their rifles more than once, the Canadians were also a much fresher and generally better led fighting force for their numbers. They were, like the Australian Corps, considered some of the British Empire's finest troops by the end of the war. This is no exaggeration whatsoever - tactically and strategically, the Canadian Corps were feared. The British Army had several highly respected regiments and more elite units, in it's own right; though years of brutal trench warfare across not only the Western Front but others, had bled the British badly, and while millions of British troops still fought on and although I believe the Entente victory was almost assured even without the USA, there was a need for fresh, well-trained troops to replace losses, especially after Russia dropped out of the war allowing Germany to transport over a million Eastern Front veterans to the Western Front pretty much straight away, with many more to follow. Britain and France held the line, but the arrival of Canadian and US forces to the region, was welcomed (at least, by high command - whereas British soldiers were pretty scathing of US troops who they openly mocked as ''dough boys'' aka soft and weak, in need of kneading and remoulding into proper soldiers; think old Clone troopers calling rookies shinies, that sort of thing) The Canadians had the benefit of Arthur Currie, to my mind one of the top 3 generals in WWI. He was the driving force behind a lot of innovations and reforms in the Canadian Corps, as he learnt lessons from the experiences of other forces (primarily the British) and due to less centralised British control over their affairs, the Canadians were better able to break free of pretty restrictive, hierarchical hindrances holding back the British and French. In spite of by far being the most experienced Entente troops on the scene, the British and French were hamstrung so often by the chain of command and not necessarily (as popular culture tends to poke fun at e.g. Blackadder Goes Forth BBC Comedy series, which revels in those stereotypes belittling the leadership constantly, when really, on a micro and macro level, the British were evolving rapidly and not just pissing lives needlessly up the wall as is sometimes claimed; though of course that _did_ also happen in a sad number of cases, and even more so for the French and Russians) More independent to come up with their own methods and taking the best cues and inspiration from the British and French experiences (lessons bought at appalling cost in lives, treasure and materiel for both), the Canadians rapidly accelerated their training and utilised new assault tactics. Among other things, the Canadians pioneered the Creeping Barrage and Rolling Thunder combined arms assault with coordination with artillery and infantry assault units. Of course the British had long been doing similar things, as were the French, but the precise manner in which they did this now, was far more refined and perfected. The Canadian Corps was notable in being highly proficient in dislodging the Germans from fortified positions, as well as being equally dangerous on the defence, with excellent rifle training. Many Canadian men signed up for their service, were from rural areas and were not adverse to firearms. The Canadians were a fine addition to the British Empire's overall capabilities, and were like a very useful dagger beside the longswords of France and Britain, pointed squarely at the Germans. Vimy Ridge exemplifies the tenacity of the Canadians. However, I believe the most telling sign of how displeasing it was for the Germans to engage them, was during Operation Michael (the last German Offensive in WWI) This was mostly aimed at driving a wedge between the British and French forces, aiming to drive the British Expeditionary Force back into the sea. To this end, they hit the British forces incredibly hard with one of the most horrific artillery bombardments in WWI, and followed it with one of their most savage and frankly desperate assault using Sturmtruppen and massive infantry reserves. Entire British regiments simply ceased to exist - what was left of the poor souls in the immediate frontline, after the barrage, were annihilated by the overwhelming assault. British forces were told to die where they stood by their commanders and so many did. The British 2nd Army to the South of all British forces on the Western Front, was sent reeling with one or two regiments in particular fighting to the last man, rendered functionally destroyed. The Germans paid dearly for this as they suffered heavy losses of their own meeting increasingly aggressive and determined, dogged British resistance. The French were also drawn into the sector and helped sure up the line. The German Juggernaut, ran out of steam in this offensive. They maxed out. It had hurt the British, but the cost had been ruinous for themselves as well, and ultimately the gains weren't worth the sacrifice. The salient was too small; crushed within a few weeks back to it's starting positions as if nothing happened. During this offensive, the Germans _deliberately avoided_ the Canadian Corps, specifically marking them on the map. The Canadians held their own salient like a thorn in the German's side and would not be dislodged. Perhaps thinking to defeat them later, the Germans put most of their effort into beating the British, but failed anyway. The Canadians were among the Entente forces slamming the Germans hard in the last hundred days of the war, which rounded out the grim conflict.
The difference between Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers is like the difference between the US Army and US Marine Corps when the two operate in the same theatre. The Marines traditionally don’t occupy territory. They move into the objective area, kill everything that resists, and move on to the next target (what the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps was designed to do). The Army typically follows in, mops up any remaining resistance and occupies. That’s why the US Army has a Corps of Engineers and various other logistics and support groups within its ranks, where as the USMC really doesn’t.
I have an idea for a video, what would happen if the Separatists didn't attack the Republic when they defected? Would the Republic have attacked them instead or would they have let them separate peacefully? the Republic didn't have much of an army until obi wan found Kamino so what would have happened?
Not necessarily, the only child of clones that has been written or talked about(as far as I know) was Kad Skirata, the son of Darman, a clone commando, and Etain Tur-Mukan, a Jedi, both from the unfinished Republic Commando novel series. He (spoilers ahead do not scroll down if you didn’t read the book) had his genome analyzed by a runaway kaminoan geneticist ( before Kad’s paternal grandfather killed her) and it was discovered that the gene for accelerated growth was recessive, meaning, among other things, it wouldn’t always be passed on, and in cases where it did get passed on, it wouldn’t take effect or would have reduced effect, although again, Kad is the only child of a clone that we know of so we don’t really have that much data to go on
I have a challenge for you and the guys to consider Allen. British Ben puts his 5 Star Trek Ships against your 5 Star Wars ships. American Ben can judge the competition. Whoever wins 3 of the matchups is declared Supreme Techie. 5 ships would be a fighter (we can count USS Defiant as a fighter), corvette, frigate, dreadnaught and super dreadnaught (guess he’s using a Borg Cube 😂). You guys can give your data and arguments why yours would win and American Ben would then declare a winner. Just an idea, love watching every video, from both Tech and Films.
I got a question, Fractured Space vs some Star Wars Vessels. As well is their Jump Drives better than Hyper Drives. It seems quicker and able to get towards the location looking at the wrong way. Though as well weaponry and drives against some Star Wars vessels. Fractured Space well used to and still is (With Community version since OG is gone, but with Community you keep everything) and it's a fun PVP spaceship fightings, along with industrial looking vessels and unique in all their ways. My favorite vessels from the game are Paragon, Reaper, Leviathan, Pioneer, and Gladiator. Well there are many amazing vessels that have their own roles making selecting your vessel pre-game important for a counter on the enemies, if enemy select a cloak ship such as Ghost or Black Widow from the United Space Research (USR), the Pioneer from USR or Punisher from Zarek Industrials (Along with others anti-stealth ships capabilities) is your choice. Though the game if you want to win, have to play with the team, I tried soloing, and ended me up dying many times.

@@thunderspark1536 But the death star is a one time investing and because the clones age so fest you need new ones every few years. So I think it makes sence to use them if at all only as elite-units in small numbers.

Hey GT. I know you might not do video games. But can you review the future technology from COD: Advance warfare and see if they are accurate enough to be made in real life?
If one of them catches a cold, you can just send them out on the open battlefield in bright colored armor and words sprayed on in every language that say “shoot me” plastered all over it. That’s how you can dispose of one
If this is true then how would the galactic civil war have gone if Palpitine kept the clones? Sence most stormtrooper officers and navy officers would be clones would less atrocities be commited? did you already do a video on this?
@generation tech can you do an episode on what if mandalorians lead the clones into battle or if the old republic jedi lead the GAR and occupied the council
Uh, no. No they were not. You guys are ass-kissing the clones WAAAAAY too much. Just as you people bash the Jedi unjustly, so too do you over-praise the clones for something they're not the best at. The clones don't have the numbers to occupy enemy worlds the same way the CIS battle droids or Imperial Stormtroopers did. The clones are perfect for storming enemy positions and taking out enemy fortifications, but they're not numerous enough that they can compete with droids and Stormtroopers for garrison duty. Each clone is made in Kamino after a decade of flash-training, whereas droids can be made in a day and Stormtroopers can be recruited from the populace. While the latter two are inferior to clones in terms of infantry quality, in terms of numbers needed to garrison worlds, droids and Stormtroopers outclass clones in that regard. Garrisons usually just have to deal with scattered enemy resistance forces or local unrest from the populace, not enemy forces in large numbers. Putting clones on garrison wastes their potential, not to mention the fact that the clones aren't as numerous as the Stormtroopers or battle droids, meaning that they can't cover as much ground as the other two forces could, which garrison forces have to do. At most, the Clones are in the high millions or perhaps even in the billions if we're being generous, but the Stormtroopers were in the tens of trillions and the CIS battle droids were in the QUINTILLIONS. So no, the clones are not the best option for garrisoning a planet. Assaulting planets, maybe, but not sitting on their asses and garrisoning worlds, where their potential is wasted and they are stretched thin.
I agree with their assault role as well. I think as they are an offensive tool kind of like storm troopers vs the imperial army. Plus, a traditional army(like the imperial army) or pdf supplemented with/by the clone army. Clones take the planet/whatever and pdf holds. Also, more guerilla forces. Imagining the arc where they taught the planets force to take down droidekas by rolling the nade but to a much higher degree of implementation.
@@eyesofstatic9641 Exactly. PDF forces are more suited for garrison duty than clones are. Sure, have some clones be there for garrisons-to teach local PDF forces how to fight droids while the greater mass of clone troopers assault enemy positions.
at 4:07 you say that the Gurkha's, Sikhs, and Africans were all perceived as inferior. while that may be true of british perceptions towards African troops their attitude to the Gurkha's and Sikhs were very different- the British fought numerous wars against both and they were already recognized as formidable fighters.
Clone Troopers=Weak... Probably the reason why they couldn't shoot worth a damn. But SW lack something just about no one stated: Humans get shot, survive, no armor! Storm Trooper gets blasted, dead!
Clones were the perfect soldiers. They did not (due to their indoctrination) abandon their duties. Once Order 66 enacted, that doomed the clones (as the perfect soldiers). this order removed all original thinking and tactical ability (pre Order 66). Palpatine did not realize the damage he was doing to the Clones. He only saw the fact that he was "god sith" and his will was the only creative will needed in the empire. It is a shame to see such brilliant soldiers relegated to unthinking (compared to pre 66) machines and then abandoned.
Worlds need to be lived in. The blame for most of this sits on Sith Lord Yoda. Don't believe me ? Let's start with, he knew about Order 66, before it happened, through multiple sources. He realized the Jedi Order needed to end, but not him, because he was more important than the Jedi Order or anyone else in the Galaxy. Even though, he fostered the Jedi's corruption for 800 years, at least. Something he could have changed the course of, as Grand Master. And are we to believe he had no idea there was a Sith in the halls of power? That he didn't notice with 800 years of political plots, something was off? Why wasn't there an investigation of the Clone army or the disappearance of a predominant Jedi Master? He removed Ashoka from Anakin's life, and denied him the Master title, which fostered bitterness. Allowed Kenobi and Padme to confront Anakin, like no one could see how that would turn out. Drove Dooku from the order, by denying him answers to valid questions. How many of his students turned or died at the hands of a Sith? He also, told Luke, that Luke was Vadar's son, almost assuring a confrontation and Luke's death, if not for a really big and delayed change of heart. Additionally, after trying to wrest power from Palpatine after the Jedi were killed in Order 66, did he try to protect survivors or train new Jedi? No, he hid. And even when a Jedi learner literally came to him, he tried to send him away, or as noted get him killed. Did he have a change of heart at the end of his unnaturally long life, which is more a Sith thing? Who knows. As an odd coincidence, Yoda showing up was just just shortly after Darth Bane disappearing. No, the blame for the Empire and the chaos that followed for centuries was all on Sith Lord Yoda, and maybe Jar Jar.
If I was Palestine I’d have the elite storm trooper corps then use all of them as clone templates and have my clones modified to grow fast only until they hit their prime then I’m going to have them age slower so they can be combat effective for more years than a normal human. Then I’d genetically modify my regular storm trooper recruits to age slower so they can be combat effective longer.

THEY ARE THE DEFENDERS OF THE EMPIRE. THEY ARE MY CLONE TROOPERS AND THEY SHALL KNOW NO FEAR!
"Canadian troops despite being deemed undisciplined quickly became known as hard to kill (...)"
(Don't forget that part.)
"And good at killing"
Yea they were especially feared by the axis during ww2 apparently they didn’t have e logistics to handle Pows so they just executed them
@@GenerationTech The reason why the Germans had a fear of the Canadians by the Second World War, among other Allied forces, was because of their reputation (well-earned) from the First World War. Although not having an immediate introduction to the Western Front like the French and British, the Canadian Corps became one of the most effective, creative and inventive fighting forces on the Western Front during the First World War. Well-trained and overseen by British observers, and Canadian officers alike, the Canadians were never really considered shambolic from what I recall of the history of this. Canada was basically always loyal. The only thing that may have irked some stuffier characters in the elitist British High Command, may have been the reluctance of the Canadian leadership to commit troops to the Western Front (stalling as long as possible, from the Canadian PM down) This was not to say that the Canadians were considered slovenly.
Never heard of that. Perhaps earlier on a degree of scepticism on their seriousness may have existed in some corners of the imperial bureaucracy but I really don't think that amounted to much. When the Canadians were fully deployed as a very decent contibution of about 90,000 to 100,000 men in around 3 corps sized units, they had a positive impact on the Western Front. Benefiting from being held back (in greater force; some Canadians did fight much earlier, as far back as 1915 ish) for so long until 1917 onward for the majority, in terms of being able to learn from the lessons of primarily the British and French, as well as simply have more time to train and receive increasingly better equipment e.g. replacing out their rifles more than once, the Canadians were also a much fresher and generally better led fighting force for their numbers. They were, like the Australian Corps, considered some of the British Empire's finest troops by the end of the war. This is no exaggeration whatsoever - tactically and strategically, the Canadian Corps were feared.
The British Army had several highly respected regiments and more elite units, in it's own right; though years of brutal trench warfare across not only the Western Front but others, had bled the British badly, and while millions of British troops still fought on and although I believe the Entente victory was almost assured even without the USA, there was a need for fresh, well-trained troops to replace losses, especially after Russia dropped out of the war allowing Germany to transport over a million Eastern Front veterans to the Western Front pretty much straight away, with many more to follow. Britain and France held the line, but the arrival of Canadian and US forces to the region, was welcomed (at least, by high command - whereas British soldiers were pretty scathing of US troops who they openly mocked as ''dough boys'' aka soft and weak, in need of kneading and remoulding into proper soldiers; think old Clone troopers calling rookies shinies, that sort of thing)
The Canadians had the benefit of Arthur Currie, to my mind one of the top 3 generals in WWI. He was the driving force behind a lot of innovations and reforms in the Canadian Corps, as he learnt lessons from the experiences of other forces (primarily the British) and due to less centralised British control over their affairs, the Canadians were better able to break free of pretty restrictive, hierarchical hindrances holding back the British and French. In spite of by far being the most experienced Entente troops on the scene, the British and French were hamstrung so often by the chain of command and not necessarily (as popular culture tends to poke fun at e.g. Blackadder Goes Forth BBC Comedy series, which revels in those stereotypes belittling the leadership constantly, when really, on a micro and macro level, the British were evolving rapidly and not just pissing lives needlessly up the wall as is sometimes claimed; though of course that _did_ also happen in a sad number of cases, and even more so for the French and Russians)
More independent to come up with their own methods and taking the best cues and inspiration from the British and French experiences (lessons bought at appalling cost in lives, treasure and materiel for both), the Canadians rapidly accelerated their training and utilised new assault tactics. Among other things, the Canadians pioneered the Creeping Barrage and Rolling Thunder combined arms assault with coordination with artillery and infantry assault units. Of course the British had long been doing similar things, as were the French, but the precise manner in which they did this now, was far more refined and perfected. The Canadian Corps was notable in being highly proficient in dislodging the Germans from fortified positions, as well as being equally dangerous on the defence, with excellent rifle training. Many Canadian men signed up for their service, were from rural areas and were not adverse to firearms.
The Canadians were a fine addition to the British Empire's overall capabilities, and were like a very useful dagger beside the longswords of France and Britain, pointed squarely at the Germans. Vimy Ridge exemplifies the tenacity of the Canadians. However, I believe the most telling sign of how displeasing it was for the Germans to engage them, was during Operation Michael (the last German Offensive in WWI) This was mostly aimed at driving a wedge between the British and French forces, aiming to drive the British Expeditionary Force back into the sea. To this end, they hit the British forces incredibly hard with one of the most horrific artillery bombardments in WWI, and followed it with one of their most savage and frankly desperate assault using Sturmtruppen and massive infantry reserves.
Entire British regiments simply ceased to exist - what was left of the poor souls in the immediate frontline, after the barrage, were annihilated by the overwhelming assault. British forces were told to die where they stood by their commanders and so many did. The British 2nd Army to the South of all British forces on the Western Front, was sent reeling with one or two regiments in particular fighting to the last man, rendered functionally destroyed. The Germans paid dearly for this as they suffered heavy losses of their own meeting increasingly aggressive and determined, dogged British resistance. The French were also drawn into the sector and helped sure up the line. The German Juggernaut, ran out of steam in this offensive. They maxed out. It had hurt the British, but the cost had been ruinous for themselves as well, and ultimately the gains weren't worth the sacrifice. The salient was too small; crushed within a few weeks back to it's starting positions as if nothing happened. During this offensive, the Germans _deliberately avoided_ the Canadian Corps, specifically marking them on the map. The Canadians held their own salient like a thorn in the German's side and would not be dislodged. Perhaps thinking to defeat them later, the Germans put most of their effort into beating the British, but failed anyway. The Canadians were among the Entente forces slamming the Germans hard in the last hundred days of the war, which rounded out the grim conflict.
The difference between Clone Troopers and Stormtroopers is like the difference between the US Army and US Marine Corps when the two operate in the same theatre. The Marines traditionally don’t occupy territory. They move into the objective area, kill everything that resists, and move on to the next target (what the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps was designed to do). The Army typically follows in, mops up any remaining resistance and occupies. That’s why the US Army has a Corps of Engineers and various other logistics and support groups within its ranks, where as the USMC really doesn’t.
As a big history buff and fan of the French military, this is entirely spot on.
all the dislikes are from storm troopers
Only imperial stormtroopers are this accurate
I disliked.
Oh nice! These vids are the best
I have an idea for a video, what would happen if the Separatists didn't attack the Republic when they defected? Would the Republic have attacked them instead or would they have let them separate peacefully? the Republic didn't have much of an army until obi wan found Kamino so what would have happened?

Great video Allen! I loved it as always
Love these videos keep up the good work but never forget that the true enemy is swimming around us now in our weakest times ready to strike!
What do you think the energy bill for the cis was
was the 501st the best clone legion or whatever u call it?
Vader’s fist, yes they were
The clones was far more superior than any other military force. Its just that they are very expensive... Nice video!
Since *all* clones have *genes* that cause them to *age extremely fast* ,
wouldn't their *children* also *age faster* than normal (~25% faster)?!?!!
Not necessarily, the only child of clones that has been written or talked about(as far as I know) was Kad Skirata, the son of Darman, a clone commando, and Etain Tur-Mukan, a Jedi, both from the unfinished Republic Commando novel series. He (spoilers ahead do not scroll down if you didn’t read the book)
had his genome analyzed by a runaway kaminoan geneticist ( before Kad’s paternal grandfather killed her) and it was discovered that the gene for accelerated growth was recessive, meaning, among other things, it wouldn’t always be passed on, and in cases where it did get passed on, it wouldn’t take effect or would have reduced effect, although again, Kad is the only child of a clone that we know of so we don’t really have that much data to go on
I have a challenge for you and the guys to consider Allen. British Ben puts his 5 Star Trek Ships against your 5 Star Wars ships. American Ben can judge the competition. Whoever wins 3 of the matchups is declared Supreme Techie. 5 ships would be a fighter (we can count USS Defiant as a fighter), corvette, frigate, dreadnaught and super dreadnaught (guess he’s using a Borg Cube 😂). You guys can give your data and arguments why yours would win and American Ben would then declare a winner. Just an idea, love watching every video, from both Tech and Films.
I’m 37 seconds early how bout that
Hope you pulled out regardless
I got a question, Fractured Space vs some Star Wars Vessels. As well is their Jump Drives better than Hyper Drives. It seems quicker and able to get towards the location looking at the wrong way. Though as well weaponry and drives against some Star Wars vessels.
Fractured Space well used to and still is (With Community version since OG is gone, but with Community you keep everything) and it's a fun PVP spaceship fightings, along with industrial looking vessels and unique in all their ways.
My favorite vessels from the game are Paragon, Reaper, Leviathan, Pioneer, and Gladiator. Well there are many amazing vessels that have their own roles making selecting your vessel pre-game important for a counter on the enemies, if enemy select a cloak ship such as Ghost or Black Widow from the United Space Research (USR), the Pioneer from USR or Punisher from Zarek Industrials (Along with others anti-stealth ships capabilities) is your choice. Though the game if you want to win, have to play with the team, I tried soloing, and ended me up dying many times.
Clone troopers are the MVPs of War.
Would the Empire have fallen had the Clone Army not been scraped?
Probably still given how the emperor was extreamly overconfident and made lots of mistakes
Prince Thunder Spark It would probably fall even faster because they cost so much money. Also there would be less of a connection between the people who found work in the stormtrooper-units in this timeline and the empire.
@@chaospilot2142 I mean true there, but the death star also was a lot of money so I don't think the empire would really care, they probably have more zeros for their debt then their computers can count to
@@thunderspark1536 But the death star is a one time investing and because the clones age so fest you need new ones every few years. So I think it makes sence to use them if at all only as elite-units in small numbers.
@@thunderspark1536 but the clones were much more loyal to Palpatine than regular troopers. Think about this, would order 66 happen if regular humans were executing it?
I wonder if there are videos about fan made Clone Battalions, Legions, or Corps?
I vote a video on the battle of jakku that’s be clutch it’s confusing as hell as to what happened in between 6 and 7
I love this guy
Hey Allen love the channel your a star wars God so I was asking if you can make this a video okay we know that the clones was the best fight force in star wars history but you made a video on saying that the chiss was the best faction so my question to you is can you analyze witch two faction is the best
Hey GT. I know you might not do video games. But can you review the future technology from COD: Advance warfare and see if they are accurate enough to be made in real life?
I agree
Hi who's excited for the bad batch TV show :)
Do a theory on what the Bad Batch series will be about
Hey my names Blair too, dont hear about many Blairs too often.
What if one of them catches a cold?… …
he's summarily executed as xeno living anti-vaxer he is.
galactic corona? I'm not ready for that
If one of them catches a cold, you can just send them out on the open battlefield in bright colored armor and words sprayed on in every language that say “shoot me” plastered all over it. That’s how you can dispose of one
If this is true then how would the galactic civil war have gone if Palpitine kept the clones? Sence most stormtrooper officers and navy officers would be clones would less atrocities be commited? did you already do a video on this?
Well, Palpatine kept clones in legends, GCW was still lost...
@generation tech can you do an episode on what if mandalorians lead the clones into battle or if the old republic jedi lead the GAR and occupied the council
hey im waiting the republic vs the earth video
Finalmente chegou o vídeo
Music is a bit too loud in this video, otherwise loved it!
I disagree with the notion that the clones where barely human.
Uh, no. No they were not. You guys are ass-kissing the clones WAAAAAY too much. Just as you people bash the Jedi unjustly, so too do you over-praise the clones for something they're not the best at. The clones don't have the numbers to occupy enemy worlds the same way the CIS battle droids or Imperial Stormtroopers did. The clones are perfect for storming enemy positions and taking out enemy fortifications, but they're not numerous enough that they can compete with droids and Stormtroopers for garrison duty. Each clone is made in Kamino after a decade of flash-training, whereas droids can be made in a day and Stormtroopers can be recruited from the populace. While the latter two are inferior to clones in terms of infantry quality, in terms of numbers needed to garrison worlds, droids and Stormtroopers outclass clones in that regard.
Garrisons usually just have to deal with scattered enemy resistance forces or local unrest from the populace, not enemy forces in large numbers. Putting clones on garrison wastes their potential, not to mention the fact that the clones aren't as numerous as the Stormtroopers or battle droids, meaning that they can't cover as much ground as the other two forces could, which garrison forces have to do. At most, the Clones are in the high millions or perhaps even in the billions if we're being generous, but the Stormtroopers were in the tens of trillions and the CIS battle droids were in the QUINTILLIONS. So no, the clones are not the best option for garrisoning a planet. Assaulting planets, maybe, but not sitting on their asses and garrisoning worlds, where their potential is wasted and they are stretched thin.
I agree with their assault role as well. I think as they are an offensive tool kind of like storm troopers vs the imperial army. Plus, a traditional army(like the imperial army) or pdf supplemented with/by the clone army. Clones take the planet/whatever and pdf holds.
Also, more guerilla forces. Imagining the arc where they taught the planets force to take down droidekas by rolling the nade but to a much higher degree of implementation.
Hold on, isn’t the whole point of the clone army to be versatile and adapt to any situation
The amount of tactical analysis in this comment section hurts my brain
:(
@@Will-jh1cn But they don't have the numbers for garrisoning the same way the droids and Stormtroopers do.
@@eyesofstatic9641 Exactly. PDF forces are more suited for garrison duty than clones are. Sure, have some clones be there for garrisons-to teach local PDF forces how to fight droids while the greater mass of clone troopers assault enemy positions.
Storm Troopers have thoughts and they couldn't be traitors
It’s because they warned you about wrist rockets. Very important.

Will you ever do the republic vs earth
at 4:07 you say that the Gurkha's, Sikhs, and Africans were all perceived as inferior. while that may be true of british perceptions towards African troops their attitude to the Gurkha's and Sikhs were very different- the British fought numerous wars against both and they were already recognized as formidable fighters.
Clone Troopers=Weak... Probably the reason why they couldn't shoot worth a damn. But SW lack something just about no one stated:
Humans get shot, survive, no armor!
Storm Trooper gets blasted, dead!
Dude. The music is too loud.

Clones were the perfect soldiers. They did not (due to their indoctrination) abandon their duties.
Once Order 66 enacted, that doomed the clones (as the perfect soldiers). this order removed all original thinking and tactical ability (pre Order 66). Palpatine did not realize the damage he was doing to the Clones. He only saw the fact that he was "god sith" and his will was the only creative will needed in the empire.
It is a shame to see such brilliant soldiers relegated to unthinking (compared to pre 66) machines and then abandoned.
What is Benedict Cumberbatch doing at 4:10?
The music was a little too loud

Last time I was this early Darth Maul wasn't half the man he used to be
But would the volunteer army executed their jedi generals?
Worlds need to be lived in.
The blame for most of this sits on Sith Lord Yoda.
Don't believe me ? Let's start with, he knew about Order 66, before it happened, through multiple sources. He realized the Jedi Order needed to end, but not him, because he was more important than the Jedi Order or anyone else in the Galaxy. Even though, he fostered the Jedi's corruption for 800 years, at least. Something he could have changed the course of, as Grand Master. And are we to believe he had no idea there was a Sith in the halls of power? That he didn't notice with 800 years of political plots, something was off? Why wasn't there an investigation of the Clone army or the disappearance of a predominant Jedi Master? He removed Ashoka from Anakin's life, and denied him the Master title, which fostered bitterness. Allowed Kenobi and Padme to confront Anakin, like no one could see how that would turn out. Drove Dooku from the order, by denying him answers to valid questions. How many of his students turned or died at the hands of a Sith? He also, told Luke, that Luke was Vadar's son, almost assuring a confrontation and Luke's death, if not for a really big and delayed change of heart. Additionally, after trying to wrest power from Palpatine after the Jedi were killed in Order 66, did he try to protect survivors or train new Jedi? No, he hid. And even when a Jedi learner literally came to him, he tried to send him away, or as noted get him killed. Did he have a change of heart at the end of his unnaturally long life, which is more a Sith thing? Who knows. As an odd coincidence, Yoda showing up was just just shortly after Darth Bane disappearing.
No, the blame for the Empire and the chaos that followed for centuries was all on Sith Lord Yoda, and maybe Jar Jar.
If I was Palestine I’d have the elite storm trooper corps then use all of them as clone templates and have my clones modified to grow fast only until they hit their prime then I’m going to have them age slower so they can be combat effective for more years than a normal human. Then I’d genetically modify my regular storm trooper recruits to age slower so they can be combat effective longer.
I think clones should be isb and storm troopers should occupy since clones are better than stormtrooperd
I love how wrongly he says Aussie
Clones are expendable.
Not to me
