This video, "Fighting like FOOLS," by Warrior Poet Society, emphasizes the critical importance of integrating intellectualism with martial prowess. Drawing from the misattributed quote to Thucydides (but correctly identified as Sir William Francis Butler) and the example of General James "Mad Dog" Mattis, the content advocates for warriors to be scholars and "warrior poets." It highlights the dangers of a disconnect between thinking and fighting, citing historical figures and texts like Sun Tzu's 'The Art of War,' George Orwell's '1984,' and mentioning thinkers like Karl Marx. The video promotes continuous learning and education to prevent costly mistakes and save lives, underscoring that great fighters and officers must be perpetual students.
