I dunno if he'll ever see this, but the gentleman to ask about Vietnam is HR McMasters because his thesis became Dereliction of Duty about the Joint Chiefs of Staff failure in Vietnam.
If there is a right side of history and a wrong side of history then why not a person that wise like Churchill simply jump into the right side of history. Why waste time studying history if history is offering right and wrong sides? An outstanding show.
I would add to the list of military geniuses enumerated herein the Revolutionary hero, Francis Marion The " Swamp Fox", The American legend of boys of my generation of the 1950's. One of the early pioneers of the jargon phrase , " hit and run. "
Yes, universal suffrage is definitely one of those issues where you can be on the wrong side of history, most definitely, you only need to look at history, of course, right.
10:10 This was in the 1990s, when it seemed that the US would be able to use overwhelming force against anyone. Russia was bankrupt and China was still a third world country.
Pleasant suprise hearing Shostakovich 7nd symphony in the introduction
Superb guest.Now I cant wait for Dr Hanson!

Well, this is a very interesting post. Keep up with this... History is the way to look at the future...
Excellent. Thanks.

Wow. Very impressive. He has a manner of talking and organizing his thoughts in a way that reminds me of Dwight Eisenhower.
Petraeus is among the best.
VDH thinks so. Looking forward to his interview.
Read Nick Danziger. His account of Afghanistan is superb. Flashman in the great game... double deluxe! History all the way...
This is very interesting, so thank you for sharing 👍

And Hanson is next.... hello im your newest biggest fan
Excellent podcast, especially because it revealed that GEN Petraeus is a fan of the Flashman novels and has the guts to admit it in this woke age.
Thanks
Well, that was the highest value I've gotten for free since NFT Worlds. Thank you.
Well there was a lot of old school connections, not that that's a bad thing. Hope most of the content sounds better the next time I listen to it. 🍁😎
I'm hoping he's got some good tips on OPSEC.
Shostakovich 7 Bernstein/CSO… good selection

So glad that Andrew has a podcast! However, Petraeus was difficult to listen to, he kept droning on and on..........disappointing....
Watched Tony Cowden on Jocko Willinks podcast. “We created the enemy”. Curious to what the General has to say about his take on Iraq?
Of course. I think you miss the point of interviewing people whose opinions you might not agree with.
Harry Flashman! Follow Flashman... no joke... cool.

Bingo. They were giddy about the notion of world domination
Clearly the principles are informed by zero understanding of complexity. Which also shows in how these wars have gone so far for the U.S.
History does not repeat itself, but DNA does.
America is good at destroying countries but not so good at the reconstruction since the Marshall plan.
