		Celaya, the decisive battle of the Mexican Revolution, has its own flavor too, with all the gory comedy of the First Bull Run mixed up with the anti-fun, hard lessons of WW I trench warfare.
		The battle of Celaya was won because Villa's macho ways, galloping around Mexico leading cavalry charges, met their match in Obregon.
		Celaya is one of the classic decisive battles of history, and what it shows holds for every country: the best commanders aren't blowhards who bet their men's lives on an ego trip.

		Francisco Villa did not become the chief of Madero's Army of the North all at once -- but like Oliver Cromwell, Michael Connelly, or Yitzhak Rabin, he rose through the ranks because he was fearless in battle, a born leader, who did not retreat, but rather advanced in the face of cannons and gunfire.
		American Establishment historians postulate that after Wilson recognized the Constitutionalista government, Villa became bitter towards America because Wilson had allowed the Carranzistas to be transported on trains in America in order to encircle and defeat Villa's troops in the battle of Agua Prieta.
		Huge floodlights had also been shined on Villa's troops from the Douglas Arizona side of the border, which also aided the Carranzistas in destroying much of what was left of Villa's army.

		Villa was reported as using cavalry charges extensively in his campaign.
