Summary: 5 Stars
This video covers the life of Pancho Villa, one of the leaders in the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920. Few Americans remember who Pancho Villa is, and those who do remember the Left's image of a dashing hero. This DVD covers both sides of Pancho Villa, both the heroic and the villian side. If Pancho Villa was a current US citizen or even a US general, our political Left would be howling to lynch the man.
The story of Pancho Villa applies to today because of events in the New Mexican town of Columbus during the morning of March 9, 1916. Pancho Villa plundered the town of Columbus and left 18 dead US citizens and soldiers and 8 wounded. The raid proved to be a disaster for Villa, with 5 of his men captured and a further 890 killed--and something like 100 wounded. Worse was the 10,000 man force led by Blackjack Pershing into Mexico. Villa was able to evade Pershing's troops and the Pershing Expedition failed to bring Pancho Villa to "justice." Today's political Left aligns with Villa and not with Woodrow Wilson and Pershing. Times change.
Today a cross-border raid by factions in the on-going low-intensity civil war in Mexico are possible. Raiding a border town and leaving a large number of American corpses behind would embarrass the Obama adminstration. Taking a few dozen hostages would force President Obama to "do something."
But the Columbus Raid didn't just happen. This History Channel DVD gives enough background of Pancho Villa and the situation in Mexico and the southwestern USA to put the raid in context. History is really a messy subject. Why did Pancho Villa raid a sleepy little New Mexico town? What were the long-term results of this raid? This DVD is a good start and will help you understand the danger of today's border situation.
