In this video, we discover the cultural changes that played an unseen hand in the development of warfare. Did you know, in the past, unqualified noblemen lead us into battle? Nowadays unqualified peasants like myself are allowed to take a crack at it!

'Close with and destroy the enemy' The infantry has the best job description in military history. They're the oldest job in the military. Find out where their name originally came from.
