The topic of this video is whether light infantry is obsolete. To address that question, the author of the video first explains what is light infantry (and what the U.S. military considers light infantry isn't--it is too heavily weighed down) and discuss the advantages and disadvantages to each. The conclusion is that light infantry works great versus mechanized infantry where mechanized infantry can be canalized, such as mountain passes or swampy/marshy ground but stands no chance in flat terrain--and that includes forested terrain as one of his stories illustrates. A 60-ton tank has no problem pushing over trees.
