  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLWWALM6GwQ&amp;t=2250">37:30</a> the publicity tours are actually a smart thing. <br><br>One, nearly everyone loves a good war hero and meeting one might just boost recruiting numbers, and volunteers have much better moral than draftees, quite obviously. <br><br>Two, it gives the war hero a bit of time off after an exceptionally stressful situation in wartime and the guy can see his family who will be relieved that he’s still alive. You also don’t need to give the guy leave since he’s still working for the government!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLWWALM6GwQ&amp;t=2190">36:30</a> So this is a common tactic that the USA uses is they take their best, and remove them from the front lines and use them as propaganda heroes for citizen morale, and also to continue training the next set of soldiers about to deploy. &nbsp;TFE gives a really good reason for why they do this in his video about our Ace of Aces Richard Bong, in that instead of having 1 amazing fighter pilot and 30 good ones, they take out the amazing pilot and have him train instead, and now they have 30 great other pilots.

  Unfortunately, friendly fire from aircraft was extremely common, and still happens<br><br>It&apos;s hard for a pilot to &nbsp;know if the tanks he&apos;s seeing are friends or enemies

  I&apos;m sure this has already been explained but let my put it in a memorable way that Paws will understand. A tank (especially back then) is basically a &quot;Naked Apron&quot; there may not be much armor up front but if you turn around, you&apos;ve got (basically) no armor.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLWWALM6GwQ&amp;t=1038">17:18</a><br>The reason they continued to advance is because for a armored advance (or in general, any vehicle advance), the standard procedure to getting ambushed is to not become trapped and to try and break the ambush. It&apos;s not a good idea to stand still, because you&apos;re in the kill field and they already have to sighted up, and you can&apos;t really go backwards, that&apos;ll take too long. So the best solution is to become hyper aggressive and run the ambush down or at least attempt to break through.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLWWALM6GwQ&amp;t=1040">17:20</a> when ambushed, the first thing you have to do is get out of the &quot;kill zone&quot;, the most effective way to do that is to push forward. &nbsp;Ideally, one section/platoon pushes forward aggressively to keep the enemy&apos;s attention, while another section or platoon flanks them to attack from the side. Tanks don&apos;t have rear view mirrors, so backing up is extremely dangerous to everyone else on the field. The strongest armor is in front, so turning sideways to the enemy, or turning your back to them is a sure way to take catastrophic damage.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLWWALM6GwQ&amp;t=604">10:04</a> Yes, that was a huge propaganda opportunity, and the US military capitalized on it. Putting military dudes in front of cameras and getting their names broadcasted on radios was cheap and highly effective for recruiting in those days. It&apos;s the same reason the military is in movies like Transformers today. Macho stuff like that motivates guys to sign up by pumping up their bravado and making them feel like they can be a badass, too.
