Wouldn't 'Nam era Americans completely whip Nazi ass, being that they would pretty much have near-intimate detail on the arms and common tactics of the Nazi soldiers?

And the fact that most of their technology is ripped-off of the Nazi's 

[TheBronzePickle]

If the 'Namericans were outnumbered, they'd just hide in the Everfree Forest and Canter Mountains with the ponies and ambush the nazis until the numbers were more balanced, then move out in force and crush the remains. If we added tanks in, numerical advantage would be moot anyway since WW2 ballistics wouldn't do shit against 'Nam armor.

And we didn't rip off as much Nazi technology as you think. The stuff we did rip off we made a lot better.

Hm...

Maybe I shouldn't have based this all off my entire knowledge of history which is basically imaginations of an incredibly strange arena where historical characters and fictional groups fight.

[Dsarker]

Well, of course not! You missed out the most important part - the commentators.

The Secret Histories were propaganda, plain and simple.

Which doesn't explain why they were hidden so effectively, or why they were censored at some point after his death. You don't create propaganda and then divide it up into small sections and hide it all over your empire. For that matter, the vast majority of his people were illiterate, so it isn't as if they would have been able to read any sort of written propaganda.

But perhaps they made the propaganda, then hid it, so when future people found them, THEY would be the affected audience! HUH? HUH?

Maybe everything everyone does is secretly intended to influence people in the future! But what if there are no people in the future? What if we influence ourselves in the future, destroying historical continuity? OH GOD, IT'S FULL OF PRIMARY SOURCES!

Perhaps more modern people made them and then planted them where archaeologists would look.

Or perhaps we just ran across a bunch of ancient conspiracy theorists.

The secret histories themselves were WRITTEN after his death. They were a collection of the oral tradition of the Mongols.
