Buckshot Bear Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Watched the Aussie war movies Breaker Morant, Gallipoli, The Lighthorsemen, Kokoda and Battle of Long Tan that really move me too tears over 3 nights...good for another 3-4 years now until I watch them again.

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Gallipoli is the most depressing movie I've ever watched; just increasing dread the whole way...no escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just so hard to watch those young men futilely going over the top to certain death in each wave when the whistle blew, but over the top they went.

The side that won, or the side that lost? We are always a war behind, at least at the outset, fighting with the tactics of the last war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised that as bad as the casualties were in the US Civil War they weren't worse given they were using smoothbore flintlock tactics (lining up and shooting at one another) when they had rifled, percussion guns capable of so much better accuracy.

As usually happens, the generals were attempting to fight a new war with previous war’s tactics and strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
