Speaker 0 (0s): Is it afternoon 

Speaker 1 (25s): Midnight snack right now for all I know. All I know is that I'm happy. You're taking a moment to listen to this. So I'm going to try to make it enjoyable for you this week. We've been working on some different strategies, strategies in general, we've gone over some battles that happened in world war two, and we've applied them to our everyday life. I thought we would continue on that series, but in a more conspiratorial type of way. 

That's why I want to start off today with a story about the light brigade. I have you ever heard about the light brigade? Well, if you haven't, you're going to hear about it. Now. I'm going to read the poem by our Lord Alfred Tennyson, and then I'll give you some background on it. Let's begin a half a league, half a league, half a league onward all in the Valley of death rowed, the 600 for word, the light brigade, half a league, half a league, half a league gone were all in the Valley of death road in the 600 for word, the light brigade charge for the guns. 

He said into the Valley of death wrote to 600 word for word. The light brigade was they're a man dismayed, not tho the soldier new someone had blundered. There is not to make a reply. There's not to the reason why there's butt to do and die into the Valley of death. Look at the 600 Can into the right of them, Canon to the left of them, Canon in front of them. Follied and thunder stormed at with shot and shell Boldy they wrote and Well into the jaws of death, into the mouth of hell rote, the 600. 

It flashed all their sabers bare flashed. As they turned in the air, sabering the gunners there charging an army while all of the world's wonder when used in the battery's smokes right through to the line, they broke caustic and in Russian reel from the Sabre stroke shattered in Sunder, then they will back back, but not, not the 600 Canon to the ride of them can in to the left of them are Kennan behind them. 

Following in the thunder stormed at, with shot and shell wall force and hero fell. They that had fought. So Well came into the jaws of death back from the mouth of hell. All of that was left of them left out of 600. When Can their glory fade, Oh the wild charged they made all the world wondered honor the charge they made honor the light brigade, noble 600. 

What do you think? Pretty interesting, right? Let me see a little bit more about the light brigade. What happened there? So the light brigade was what was known as the charge, the light brigade, and that was a failed military action involving the British, like Calvary against these Russian forces during the battle of a lot of clever 

Speaker 2 (3m 49s): On October 25th, 1850, for in the Crimean war, the light brigade was the equivalent of like the 82nd airborne in the Navy seals or like the UN unbelievable special forces. And they were the best of the best. And they were sent by a command or that had zero experience into the Valley of death to be slaughtered. 

And it's a good example of how inexperience can turn the tide or how inexperience are foolish decision making can cause even the greatest Armie to lose is poor planning. It's people with really big egos and Xero experience calling the shots because you think about anybody like that in your life. You're probably thinking, and your aunt Georgia, I'm thinking about you. You're a big dummy. Maybe maybe I'm pretty big dum
