26 year Navy veteran here. Clark must have had some talent -& a few friends- to account for his rise in the ranks. However, his last promotion put him out of reach of his talents. In my experience, I was n a position to write up a fit-rep for 2 senior officers. In each case, my CO came to me to ask if I would consider re-writing the reports. I stood my ground. All militaries suffer the same problem: senior officers cannot be made to seem incompetent. To do so is damning the promotion process. In other words: damning themselves.

My knowledge of ww1 is average I would, I know of all the stuff that happened like the specific battles and the generals in charge but I don’t quite know the specifics. The only long form piece of content I’ve listened to was blueprint for Armageddon which I really enjoyed and it had me itching to read more books about the specifics rather than a whole war overview. I just bought sleepwalkers so that’s going to be my first read of a ww1 book. What should my next couple be if my goal is learning as much about the war as possible.

Dr. Phillips O'Brien is a classic example of the stupid takes that come out of the UK. He calls himself a scholar but his emotions trump his ability to perform serious analysis make him ill suited to be a military scholar. 2022: Russian economy collapsing. 2023: You guys are all idiots just because Ukraine lost a hundred vehicles in a day doesn't mean the counteroffensive is a failure. 2024: Arggh Ukraine collapsing, we must send western troops to save them.

@MagicMan508 Ай бұрын

This is very cool. I'm glad you were able to go on the trip. But I do have a question for you, as a historian. How do you know a historic document is legit? What kind of tests do you and other colleagues do to determine the authenticity of a historical document?

@codycarlsonph.d.5591 28 күн бұрын

It depends on a number of factors. For WWII, usually there were witnesses or people associated with the document that lived long enough to authenticate it. For older sources, there are some scientific tests you can exam to test the paper and ink, to see if it would have been used at the time. One of the greatest cases of fraud was the Hitler Diaries scam, in which a "collector" made public several volume's of the dictator's diaries. The document's authenticity was endorsed by Hugh Trevor-Roper, one of England's leading historians. It turned out the whole thing was forged, and Trevor-Roper's reputation was tarnished. The reporter that broke the story had her career ruined, and she never recovered.

Have you ever been to the Channel Islands? I spent childhood holidays on Jersey exploring German bunkers. The German Underground Hospital had a effect on me as a 10 year old that WW2 were no longer war movies. I was confronted with the true horror of the nazi how they treated their forced labourers digging out the the war tunnels. The Underground Hospital had a oppressive eerie atmosphere

What do you think about America putting carriers like the Ford and the Lincoln in the Middle East right now as a warning to Iran not to attack Israel? It seems kind of foolish to me; it makes these carriers sitting ducks. If Iran would launch a massive ballistic missile attack on them, only one missile would need to get through the air defenses to sink one of these carriers. It seems like the same mistake Truman made when he moved the fleet to Pearl Harbor. The idea of moving your might closer to your enemy as a way of warning them is ridiculous. Yes, it warns them, but at the price of making an important military asset vulnerable. I don't get it.

Very good video. But I personally believe that Churchill wasnt just beefing up Rommel for propoganda reasons, I think Churchill genuienly thought Rommel was a genius. Churchill loved bold attacks and once said Stonewall Jackson, an equally reckless general, was a strategic genius. And when your generals get beat by Rommel time and time again, I can see why Churchill would respect Rommel so much. To top it off, Churchill was a man who saw war very poetically, so it makes all the more sense in my opinion for him to see war as a great struggle against this amazing general

Interesting video. Salerno was a chaotic and confused battle for sure, though ultimately an allied victory. The British historian James Holland draws some very different conclusions about Clark, he's one of the only people who defends him, even his decision to capture Rome rather than pursue the 10th Army.

@blinkusfishus2052 4 ай бұрын

For the Russian POV Glantz is the best imo - even the Russians tend to agree, but his writing can be very dry which may put newer readers off. If you're just jumping in for the first time he might be a bit overwhelming. He's what you read when you want the 'next level' of detail, Just my opinion though.
