01:47.600 --> 01:49.710
known as the father of modern army

01:49.710 --> 01:52.470
combat does preaches the benefits that

01:52.470 --> 01:54.580
sound combative training provides

01:54.580 --> 01:57.130
soldiers on the battlefield . Every

01:57.130 --> 01:59.400
soldier's basic rule is the close with

01:59.400 --> 02:01.567
the enemy . So if you ever get in that

same situation as they was 41 years ago
