Crusades
Through out time, history has had a tendency to repeat it self. It has done so in good means as well as bad. People learn from the past and apply it to their every day lives.

Crusades now can be defined as all wars undertaken in pursuance of a vow, and directed against infidels.

Most of the people who were going were going for the most important reason, a religious reason. He knew that Guy's troops were short of water and that that would affects his men's ability to fight.
