    I like the podcast I like the tank I like the humor I like the detail in the tanks, but there is one thing that in my opinion could be replaced the politics talk. now I like current events, and I like listening to the news and politics, but in my opinion unless it’s politics related to the tanks history they don’t deserve to be in a military podcast, but other than that, I love it

    On another note, I’... more
