    I just listened to the most recent Vietnam War episode. It was great as always. I do have a question however. There always seems to be a mystery around the reason for the US losing this war. It seems to me that this is as simple as,

    1. Don’t invade unless you plan to pull troops out quickly afterwards, and

    2. Go all in with the required resources.

    There is ample evidence of what works and doesn’t work just in the two Iraq wars alone. It is even more odd considering the different approaches were ... more

    Searching through podcasts I was looking for Gettysburg and found this podcast.

    After the short series on Gettysburg I was fully hooked.

    Steve does an excellent job, his guests are not just well versed and enthusiastic, but good teachers.

    The podcast goes off on some tangents with bonus or extra episodes, for the most part these are great taking a topic into the details it deserves.

    This podcast also does movie and TV series reviews. These are mostly quite enjoyable, the best part is discove... more

  • Gulf of Tonkin Episode

    Sean makes a major mistake describing LBJ as a powerful vice president. While he was the most powerful senate majority leader and planned on being the most powerful vp, after he was sworn in, the Kennedys marginalized him completely. RFK hated his guys. After Rayburn died in 61, he was powerless and a joke to the Kennedys. They did not use him to pass any legislation and sent him abroad. By November 1963, with the Bobby Baker scandal looming, he was worried about being replaced on the ticket and... more
