“So, you wont be reading about the 300 Spartans or the Battle of Pharsalus and Caesar, nor will you read of Waterloo and Napoleon.”

No mention of Battle of Thermopylae, Yorktown, San Jacinto?

Nonsense.

No mention of Battle of Thermopylae, Yorktown, San Jacinto? Nonsense.

Also no mention of Tours in 732, where Charles Martel's defeat of the Moors stopped Muslim expansion into Europe and made possible the Christian Middle Ages. Without that, we'd be speaking Arabic today and praying five times a day towards Mecca. Hugely significant battle.

The battles ranked were unknown or forgotten battles. Particularly those not known to western audiences. So no, 300 Napoleon and Waterloo and Caesar ET AL are not mentioned.

The only problem I have is that the 1920 battle of the Vistula between Poland and the USSR is not mentioned. Given that Kyle is anti-communist I was surprised not to find it on the list.

I am glad that He mentioned the battle of Yarmouk. That is one battle we should remember. Gaixia I thought was also a good one and so was the Six Day war but I am having trouble as to why Hansan-do and Sterling Bridge are mentioned?

I would've liked it if he mentioned in addition to the miracle of the Vistula, he should put down The siege of Malta, Verdun, some Genghis Khan stuff maybe some stuff from the crusades.

Nonsense is right

This list reflects Weissmans partialities

The Six Dar War which however valiant is low impact insofar as total human history

The dig at Mel Gibson

Whatever happened to historical objectivity

Rare as hens teeth

[Do the math]

I agree, the battle at the hot gates saved all of Western civilization.
