The NAM Rogers professor has no respect for the US Navy. He got the facts wrong about how the dive bombers got away with their attack at Midway land when, and said the battle was a mess despite the US clobbering all 4 of the Japanese carriers. It is very amusing to Pommies that the US armed forces are good at good at anything and would be hopeless without the help of the mother country. Love the show.
