Best Military history & warfare Videos
「Military history & warfare」下面有121部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象:入门3部,适合还没学过的人;进阶6部,适合已经懂术语的人;普通向111部,按兴趣就能看;更硬的1部,留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是纪录片,所以它们的共同点是先把人物和来龙去脉放回去,再谈对错。常出现的频道包括SmarterEveryDay、VICE、Veritasium。目录给这个主题划的范围是:Military topics: World War II, Gulf War, air power, navies, submarines, weapons systems, nuclear weapons and testing, tactics, intelligence agencies, defense technology, aviation in war.如果只看三部,就从《Mechanical Computer (All Parts) - Basic Mechanisms In Fire Control Computers》开始,它负责把问题讲出画面;然后看《U.S. NAVY BASIC MECHANISMS OF FIRE CONTROL COMPUTERS MECHANICAL COMPUTER INSTRUCTIONAL FILM 27794》,换一种讲法或例子;最后看《The Secret War》,留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开,顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月,不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明,用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看,把引用当成只是拿来举例,把批评留下来对照,不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
