This trailer is interesting but it contains a statement that could lead to an interesting discussion. Who was the greatest military leader in all of history? Of course, to respond you have to have a rather broad knowledge of military history. So, it you dare, please put in your two cents...

This was a great maneuver. This is kind of like when the devil's Brigade came over the top behind the Germans in Italy. The Germans weren't expecting The American Canadian Special Forces Unit to have The High Ground. Hannibal used his African elephants to cross the Alps and coming to Italy and come in from The High Ground. Just think, the elephant was the equivalent of the Abrams tank of his day with its strong animal and Fear Factor kind of like the tank was at the end of World War one.
