As a life long history geek who served in our military and who majored in history, you are my favorite history lecturer, with The Fat Electrician and Dan Carlin as close seconds. History needs to be a story well told and you do that without peer. Thank you.

Thank you! Both for the compliment and your service!

1:42 It's bizarre to claim that Chosin Reservoir wasn't a defeat for the US because the US troops "retreated in good order". It's a credit to them that they managed to some degree to do that, but that doesn't make a defeat into a victory.
