@Andrew91851 The song is about winning without fighting, and more specifically, using your strategic knowledge to outmaneuver the enemy and force them to surrender without fighting.
@bubus7 even thoug i agree whit you i also have to agree whit forlornhppe. much of this song is about breking the enemys will to fight . but also crushing what is left after that is done
@bubus7 The concept of desensitizing your own soldiers to the realism of the true nature of warfare is part of the 'Art of War'. I have Vietnam War veteran relatives who where shown the most graphic of film reals as part of their training. The goal was to desensitize them to the sight of seeing death, which in their theory would make them better soldiers. But in hindsight it made them only more ruthless killers.....
hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence. supreme excelence consists of breaking the enemies resistance, without fighting. (as seen in the video)
@ForlornHope1337 And basis of Roman war strategy during rule of Marcvs Avrelius Valerivs Diocletianvs, basis of Caesar's campaign in Galia and overall Roman policy ("divide et impera"), plus basis of today's "shock doctrine".
@ForlornHope1337 what did you expect him to put in the MV? it might not be accurate to the words but it still is a kick ass MV... awesomly done! Faved and 5 stared!
@ForlornHope1337 The Art of War does indeed describe defeating your enemy without fighting as being the best solution, but it is but a few lines in a 60 page book. Warfare is much more then politics and avoiding to fight, it is to pick your fights carefully, taking all things into consideration. And this video does indeed show scenes of that.
I did read your post. Did I ever say that it was about the video, or the song? I was saying what the art of war is. No matter how desirable it is to out maneuver your enemy, to win without fighting, it is rarely possible. That is all that I responded to.
@bubus7 Having read von Clausewitz and the Art of War, I know you have misinterpreted the song. The song is about one section of the Art of War, which roughly translated means "Because victory can be achieved in any battle with only knowledge of our forces and the forces of our enemy, it is not the best thing to fight. The greatest victory is to win without fighting." And what does von Clausewitz have to do with the Art of War?
@ForlornHope1337 As much as it is desirable to take a country whole and intact, there are times when that is not possible. The greatest thing that you can do, in that case, is smash the enemy force in such a way that it can never be gathered again against you. To quote: If you must strike, strike hard enough to shatter in the first blow, or not at all.
Sun Tzu was great, but many people don't get at all what he said/wrote. Winning without a fight and without losses should be no. 1 priority for everyone and for whoevvers sake: If you can't find the enemy...move on. Todays oppressions and supressions are total failures
It seems to me thet you newer actuly read any book about warfare or not have a clue about it if you actualy read art of war book on witch this album is all about or read von Clausewitz on war you probley knew why I mead this video in a way i did it

that ending, verry clever. love it
Thanks :-)
Andrzej Ponikło I don't get it? The lyrics at the end or the video, which is the clever thing you guys are referring to?
hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence.
supreme excelence consists of breaking the enemies resistance, without fighting.
(as seen in the video)
kevin rodriguez Oh, the outro. Yeah I always loved it-such a calming way to end the badass-ness! XD
Riley The Flaming Wookie Cookie to me its the most badass scene in the video
I have a new type of warfare in my mind it is called:-
1) Spectation
@ForlornHope1337 And basis of Roman war strategy during rule of Marcvs Avrelius Valerivs Diocletianvs, basis of Caesar's campaign in Galia and overall Roman policy ("divide et impera"), plus basis of today's "shock doctrine".
@ForlornHope1337

@bubus7 yeah I can see elements from the art of war book kudos
I did read your post. Did I ever say that it was about the video, or the song? I was saying what the art of war is. No matter how desirable it is to out maneuver your enemy, to win without fighting, it is rarely possible. That is all that I responded to.
they all look like good movies except king Arthur which is a good one
@Fallenglory13 Yes, they wrote that way.
WAR !!!!!!
If neither you or your enemy knows themself or their enemy, both you and them loose ? #filosoraptor

@TheSacrificialGod I am sure you meant "upon" not "apon". I find it quite amusing when people correct others while making mistakes as well.
sun tzu

@TheSacrificialGod Oh but you are mistaken. Logic and reason are very big concerns of mine and when someone misuses them then that concerns me :)
