Thanks for covering this part of US history!

another great episode. learn a lot about US history

Joe’s sack on Rome

another warrior caste turns out to be inbred freeloading thugs, why does this always happen? 😕 😞

Ah fragging, the only good thing a soldier can do.

For good coffee in the Netherlands, find an Italian deli!

These previews are such teases. ;-;

The focus of this episode really confused me, but you still made that entertaining! Absolutely hope you cover Mongols, etc, and East Asian history to war - very neglected despite popular demand. Just look at Supernova in the East.

Ah yes... The time Russia and the United Kingdom played Risk with actual nations....

We need an Eddy Rickenbacker episode.

For those that wonder what the SLR rifle used by 1 Para, it’s the British-adopted version of the FN FAL, firing the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge. This round is still used as the round for M240B/FN MAG medium machine gun. A great history that covers The Troubles is ”The IRA” by Tim Pat Coogan. His section on the Battle of the Bogside is extremely eye-opening. The amount of CS tear gas the British used in that neighborhood over three days is insane.

Joe ur podcast is good and I like it, but saying ”content warning: it’s bad” does not inform. You have to be explicit, like ”mass murder of hostages, mass murder of women, suicide bombs, shooting deaths, children conscripted to dispose of exploded human remains.”

You seem a little racist to the British.

glad to be here, unlike the sixth army

In the end everyone died and became a part of the corpse based infrastructure.

The response of the people of Nanking to John Rabe’s post-war misery is the only raft of goodness to cling to in this f-ing tempest. Truly a complicated man, but I gotta have respect and admiration for personally saving so many. It was very brave, and you also left out my man was diabetic XD he was rolling through those streets in his batman cape shooting insulin the whole time. Unbelievable story truly. I hope to visit his house in Nanking one day, it’s a museum I hear.

God doesn’t talk to us anymore because he is afraid.

There is no as dark and rancid as what lurks in the wretched hearts of men :/

Rest in Power Gene Handsome and Comrade Utkin.

yeah
