Is war universal? How common is war? Why Nation go to war?
*WAR
HUH
WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!*
Through selective breeding we humans can eliminate "war loving" individuals without killing them but by preventing them from succeeding in leaving more offspring. By monitoring humans we can determine who has aggressive tendencies and determine if those tendencies were instilled in them by abusive or neglectful parenting. Most people are rendered emotionally broken by their primary care giver while still infants or toddlers. Therefore we as a society must assure every future individual receives full time nurturing without upsets; upsets even as minor as mommy leaving for hours to go to a job. Infants and toddlers suffer immensely by the absence of mommy (or whomever they are most use to) whether they are capable of understanding that she is returning eventually or not.
As long as bullying and dominance is a human trait, war will be a human inevitability.
What? No comic strip jokes? not even a Calvin And Hobbes reference? Nothing?
It's treason, then.
This isn't exact "Crash Course World History" more than it is anti-war psychological propaganda. Which is fine, but the title is misleading.
Havenāt watched it yet but hopefully he mensions the art of war
You are all over the place dude
Without war, we wouldn't have these luxuries in our lives, because humans like to be challenged, and we hate losing.

Why it exist at the first place?! And why can't be people be treated equally?! This is the reason that causes racism?!
This podcast is the perfect example of why serious subjects should not be treated flipently e.g. he says that wars happen because young men are warlike. If this were so, why do young men have to be told that weapons of mass destruction are aimed at their country and about to be launched or that women and children are being or about to be murdered and raped to get them to go to war and why do they have to be concriptaed to get them to go. Don't forget, old men start wars, young men have to fight them.
I think this Marlantes guy was either a psychopath or financed by some military defense lobby to write his book.

Me: My parents a literally watching this video right now.
Parents: WTF DID YOUR TEACHER TELL YOU TO WATCH IN QUARANTINE???
War always exists.
There are enough triggers in just the YouTube comments sections alone.
Religion, ideology, resources, land, spite, love or just because. No matter how pathetic the reason, itās enough to start a war.ā

5:35 Genuine question; with that reasoning then wouldn't the phrase "We must secure the existence of our people…" from Adolf Hitler, fall in line with all historical reasons for warfare? War, as you said, had been meant for gathering resources to ensure the survival of a kin group. So in Hitler's case,, excluding the morality of everything, Anschluss and Lebensraum strategies fits into the category
If you want your girlfriend to break up with you, start this video, and keep pressing the zero key over and over.
Marines arenāt soldiers, there marines. Soldiers are in an army, and marines are in an amphibious fighting force. Itās like calling someone in the Air Force a soldier instead of an airmen.
To study why Humans go to war one shall look at "competing" Ant colonies,
As groups of civilizations we are much more similar to them we would like to admit.
Lol as if trade shaped the world more than violence and war
a cycle that gets broken all the time is a cycle that is never really broken
Indianapolis!! I love my city and JG is a small part why!
Something else needs to be taken in account when discussing wether or not humans where naturally peaceful or aggressive Paleoanthropology the study of mans ancient relatives
