Montgomery was shit. Fitting enough that he gives meme advice

The brits literally beat the shit out of the Chinese in the Opium war, on land

Insert joke about France here

OP is an idiot because those two sayings are talking of a 20th Century Context.

"Don't fight a land war in Asia" is due to what happened in Korea and Vietnam. Basically where US/NATO foreign policies go to die.

Many of them involve or could be applied to war, particularly
>LAW 15) Crush your enemy totally
So many people have made the mistake of sparing their enemies, or of beating them and thinking that's enough. It never is. A beaten enemy will conspire against you and a defeated people will breed another generation of warriors. Crush your enemies totally, ill all your enemies, never spare anyone.

>LAW 23) Concentrate your forces
Force concentration is the number one key to winning wars throughout history, more men doesn't just mean you're more likely to win, it also means you'll kill your enemies faster and so take fewer losses yourself overall.

not a rule but an advice: violence isn't the most important thing to win a war.
this can be confirmed by germany's warfare history.

Rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, is: 'Do not march on Moscow'...
Wow great meme bro XDDDDD! Le Russia is too stronk to be le conquered :DDDD
>Rule 2 is: 'Do not go fighting with your land armies in China'
Literally a historically inaccurate statement. The Japanese, Mongols, other Chinese, and European armies have all proven this wrong

>Do not go fighting with your land armies in China
I never understood this one. What precedent is there for this? Didn't the Mongols utterly rape doing exactly that? Didn't the Boxers get curbstomped by foreign armies doing that?

Why is that a rule? What don't I know?

>Rule 2 is: 'Do not go fighting with your land armies in China'

This rule didnt work very well through the 19th century
Is there even one white country that didnt send its army there and rape China at least once in the late 1800s?
