Is studying ancient wars/battles/military commanders useless?

I know documentaries about it look lame entertainment,
The reality behind it is brutally fascinating.

Btw, some of these martial Arts used in hand to hand combat, came from those very times.

Also things like 48 laws of power (or 50 laws with 50 cent edits) Art Of War, all those kind of books are different examples of things used in war flourish big in among the business suits and hood scholars alike. What does that tell you?

So what? we went from, swords guns drones chemicals but its that very mindset to conquor the enemy for good or bad that mades these wars end in the first place.

The only difference between today and then is back then you had to fight there was no choice when war broke out.
Now, mfs dont have to be at war when too much industry can make comfortable living, but that competive drive to protect and defeat competition, will always be a instinctual exploit that is the premise of war.

The main thing people look at when crafting tactical support is:

Terrain surveillance

Equipment handling (including, all the weapons as needed,food rations and self care tools)

Cultural Familiarity
[Can they gain local support? Defectors? Alliances? Supplies from the locals]

Protection (such as barriers, protective
structures, number of people able to fight and station with quality training, superior technologies, healthcare for wounded casaulties)

As long as humans are mortal, there will always be these things happening in a war.
Nobody is having life or death battles sitting on their couch watching the flat screen on the wall.

Well first and foremost get the audiobooks alot easier to digest, these are the types of books that u listen over and over.

In regards to the best i would say the 48 laws of power and 50th law are great. Then 33 strategies of war.

I have two of his latest books on queue, mastery and the laws of human nature. But listening to the intro of the laws of human nature is:wow::blessed: sounds like its gonna be pure piff

The 48 laws morally can be a bit:patrice::merchant: but its good too know how the most powerful people get power and maintain it:sas2:
