"August 1964, the U.S. entered the Vietnam War based on reports of an unprovoked attack in the Gulf of Tonkin - which the president knew were false." AKA the Vietnam war was started based on a lie and it got thousands upon thousands of innocent fighting age men killed. And people still trust their government. Here is a list* of the countries bombed and/or invaded by the United States from the end of the Second World War to 2020: Afghanistan 1998, 2001- Bosnia 1994, 1995 Cambodia 1969-70 China 1945-46 Congo 1964 Cuba 1959-1961 El Salvador 1980s Korea 1950-53 Guatemala 1954, 1960, 1967-69 Indonesia 1958 Laos 1964-73 Grenada 1983 Iraq 1991-2000s, 2015- Iran 1987 Korea 1950-53 Kuwait 1991 Lebanon 1983, 1984 Libya 1986, 2011- Nicaragua 1980s Pakistan 2003, 2006- Palestine 2010 Panama 1989 Peru 1965 Somalia 1993, 2007-08, 2010- Sudan 1998 Syria 2014- Vietnam 1961-73 Yemen 2002, 2009- Yugoslavia 1999 Note that these countries represent roughly one-third of the people on earth. 'Murica! *sigh* I wish we could all get along but as long as bloodthirsty psychopaths stay in power all over the world, they will pit us against each other like pawns in a sick chess game and the endless wars will never end.

Regarding the first part (switching the ammo with overcharged rounds): Just incase anyone is interested in exactly what the catastrophic failure of a firearm and the damage it can do to the user, the channel/"Gun-tuber" 'Kentuckyballistics" has several videos of different guns being blown up using overcharged rounds, including the AK-47! And to help picture just how insanely high pressure the rounds were that the MACV-SOG units were sabotaging the ammo supplied with, there's two videos in which Kentuckyballistics blows up .50cal rifles, which normally use rounds with an average operating pressure of 55,000psi, the one he uses to cause the rapid disassembly of the .50's is overcharged to about 190,000 psi.. MACV-SOG were by all accounts making rounds with upwards of 250,000psi.. and in a cartridge thats more than half the size of a .50cal round.. That's insane.. that would have been like a grenade going off in your hand/in your face.

Napoleon did one dirty trick back when he was emperor. Before the battle of Austerlitz, the Russian army retreated when Napoleon began to approach them just to undermine him So Napoleon tricked Tsar Alexander I into battle by sending a letter to him saying he was in a vulnerable position. The tsar believed him & met at Austerlitz, the Austrian empire During the battle of Austerlitz, Napolean retreated from the high ground and the Russians took it. Only for them to realise it was a deception tactic as that is what Napolean wanted Thanks to the fog, his army surrounded them & the Russians were forced to retreat giving Napolean the victory

Just remember. There are NO RULES in war. No matter what someone tells you. The moment you follow the rules is the moment your enemy will brake them to kill you.

I thought theres no rules in war. Theres no dirty tricks, just excellent strategy.

Keep up the great work.

Best way to defeat your enemy is to know them.

So long as they don't drag civis almost all dirty tactics seemed to be a viable option and to not use them is stupid

These animations are so detailed. I love how at 12:25 you can see Hitler hiding his tremoring hand behind his back

WTF that's such a good spot!

The greatest era ever!!! Stephanie and Sean deserve their respect both were so great at selling every Angel they were in

Man-of-wars used to flag different, paint their ships different colors and further change their appearance to trick the enemy.

The doctoring of weapons was first documented during the Malaya Insurgency (1950’s) rifle barrels found by British Army were slightly bent to ensure they exploded a bit easier than replacing propellant

You missed the mouse trap suit! Where the enemy wears several mouse traps on their uniforms. So after you kill them, you get your nuts caught in a mousetrap when you teabag them!

that ammo sabotage trick... How do I dissuade bike thieves from stealing Bike Lock? that will just make them jump to another bike to steal. Brake lock? sabotage the brakes from functioning if I am not using it. either that will teach them a lesson, or think twice about stealing an unlocked bike next time.

Love the old meme of the yeet seat bicycle anti-theft device, basically the meme showed a person cutting open their bike seat and sticking petn explosives into it, sewing it back up and putting a barbecue grill igniter as a trigger. So that way when the thief sat on the seat it would set off the explosives

@@coolsnake1134 As much as I would like to do that, That sounds like the shotgun door booby trap that was featured in simple history. Using lethal methods to dissuade perpetrators, which could possibly lead to a lawsuit if they do survive or if somebody witness it. At least the way I am planning to do it, Is to make the perpetrator be more vulnerable to getting into an accident In considering they value their escape more than being safe, they won't be getting away.

My grandfather was awarded 5 bronze starts, 3 with valor, and a silver star. He was a Sgt. Major, who fought in Korea, and 4 tours in Vietnam. He was one of the first 500 Americans sent to Vietnam as an advisor. He was with a small attachment of south Vietnamese troops, and was one of only 3 americans on this patrol. They had reports of a patrol of around 50 NVA troops coming there way. They sent scouts, and soon learned that it was closer to 300 NVA troops. They were outnumbered and were low on ammo, but had plenty of explosives and det cord. They expected the NVA to come thru a narrow valley, on their way south. They lined explosives in 3 X patterns thru the valley, across about 100 yards and had claymores on both sides of the valley, all was connected with detenation cord, and had troops on the hills of both sides. They waited for the NVA to come thru the valley, and from a single detonator, caused a massive series of explosions, eliminated almost of the enemy at once. Troops picked off the few survivors, and took many prisoners. They also got a lot of valuable intel from captured NVA. He was awarded the bronze star with valor, and the paperwork that comes with that award is quite fun to read. The story of his silver star is also a good read, but is a story for another day.

Would have figured you would have mentioned that Canadians would throw cans of food into the German trenches of ww1 and when the Germans went for the food they'd throw grenades in right after. A good way to describe the Geneva convention after ww1 is that it is a list of things the Canadians are no longer allowed to do in war.

Interesting, I didn't know that about Iraq/Afghanistan. If you Google search "last photo combat camera", you'll see the last photo that a US soldier took as a mortar round exploded in the tube. Story will be with the photo. I wonder if that's the real truth behind that occurrence.

Cool history, you definitely missed some other notable battlefield tricks, Make it a series 👍👍
