~~Video Description~~
To preorder your copy of "Something Like Philosophy"
Have you ever heard someone compare a longbow to a machine gun? A cavalry charge to a modern tank assault? Have you ever thought that such comparisons were incredibly silly, and wondered why they're so popular? Well then, this is the video for you! Here, we discuss the idea of 'comparison' in military history and its value as an educational tool. It has its benefits, but it can be a real double-edged sword!
