I greatly appreciate John J. Pershing's vision regarding the so called "racial" problems in America. He inspired my own Commandant, Louis F. Wilson, MoH, who said, "There are no black Marines, there are no white Marines, there are no brown Marines and there are no yellow Marines. Marines are GREEN." I have walked this Earth for 65 years and have only seen one race of people on this planet, humans. If we can all see that reality, regardless of cosmetic differences, then we will be better off for the insight.

You think that genocide of the White race is okay. Whites have made major contributions to civilization. Declaration of Independence is one example of what they did.

These are the heroes of our past who were not the problem but were part of the solution. Ready to step up, take responsibility for their actions, and make a peaceful future happen. 😌

The one who shaped general Patton and general mac Arthur general Pershing one of my many american heros

Very interesting

He was very honest about his thoughts on the unconditional surrender of Germany. I think he was correct and his assertion for unconditional surrender. I think if that would’ve happened there would be no World War II as we know it today.

Pershing knew that the shotgun can be a devastating weapon. I'd venture to say that the Great War might have turned out differently without "trench sweepers".

He was commander of FT Bliss in El Paso, TX

My biggest toxic trait is I know how to love but I don't know how to believe I'm loved.

Great video!! ❤

I like Pershing but giving him credit for the war in the Philippines is not a compliment. The US had NO BUSINESS going to war against people they just fought to "Free".

No offence mates but compaired to other WW1 generals like Monash from Australia, he doesn't rank very high imho especially as before this, he failed to get a Mexican leader who attacked America in an attack I wish got Mexico into war as well (like Japan did in WW2). It's all my point of view ok? Don't take it too seriously.

@@KangaKucha yes, The town of Columbus, New Mexico The truth of the matter is that Pershing just failed because for once, Villa had lots of support from sympathizers to his cause in the state of Chihuahua where he remained hidden. Plus Villa new the area like the palm of his hand. It may be true that the US joined WWI and the expedition was called off but the fact remains that Pershing had more than enough time to capture Villa and he did not.

From the standpoint that Pershing never captured Villa, he failed. However, Villa never again raided the USA or killed Americans in Mexico. So from that aspect, Pershing succeeded. It must also stated that even though the expedition officially lasted about nine months, for most of it Pershing and company were told to sit tight as the the Americans and Mexican diplomats argued through official channels about the expedition. Carranza used the expedition as a way to try and consolidate power, as he was very unpopular at the time.

Can American stop saying that they saved the allies of World War I Europe. At least not when it come to contribute on the battlefields in form of combat. it was there help on the logistics spectrum that won ww1 and ww2

The US military has been largely ahead of mainstream society. It integrated the military before segregation ended. Do you cheer for Russia or China for being stronger or more manly? Do you think our special forces are truly woke while they're still dropping bodies everyday abroad? How can you even consider yourself a patriotic American when you talk like you're not even on our side?

We were the decisive factor in WWI. WWII we were involved for nearly four full years and the victory in the pacific was mostly because of us. Korea was a draw (China wouldn't let North Korea lose...we wouldn't let South Korea lose). Vietnam, we did eventually give up. Of course it was a proxy war for the communists....the North Vietnamese got supplied by the Soviets and Chinese. Iraq and Afghanistan we more or less gave up in the way that the British gave up on us back in the day. We didn't really DEFEAT them, we outlasted them.

Pershing was pretty ardently racist person, a better documentary would not shy away from that

No no no. There is a dark side which you will never reveal because you are the victors, the writers of history.

There was a comment earlier about how general Pershing was a great officer, well he wanted W W 1 to drag on into 1919 just so that he could use all of his army to beat the Germans and claim the victory for America. The Australian general Sir John Monash and and the Canadians and New Zealanders had the Germans beaten anyway with a little bit of help from the Americans, who by the way, Pershing did not want fighting under a foreign commander.

Every country (especially English speaking) claims the most credit for the ultimate victory in WWI. The Aussies say they were most responsible, the Canadiens and the British the same. Americans are no different. Interestingly the French don't as much, even though they arguably suffered more than anyone.

Why is General Pershing’s video of such low quality compared to other History Hit videos? 🫤
