This was an amazing assemblage of first rate historians! We should all be grateful that we have such brilliant scholars who have dedicated their professional lives to educating us about the tragedy and triumph of WWII. If we as a people fail to understand the lessons of history we are doomed to repeat them.
"Down this road, on a summer's day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, the community which had lived for a thousand years, was dead. This was Oradour-sur-Glane in France."
Comparing male and female pilots accident rates while ferrying planes doesn’t tell us much. All are at a junior level and ferry pilots aren’t among the top aviators which isn’t a requirement for menial tasks such as ferrying planes. Instead, for an apples to apples comparison, rank the top female pilots against the top male pilots in simulated combat situations amd classroom performance. Then, pick the best pilots regardless of their sex. Artificially advancing either sex over more qualified pilots ensures both an increased accident rate and mission failure rate.
Russia has slaughtered Ukraine to the point that their offensive has achieved nothing but blending their troops, weapons and supplies away. The Russians will dictate terms to the West. Ukraine is finished as a viable state.

This is amazing
With all respect to Mr. Parshall-A book was written on "The Japanese Offensive in the Indian Ocean 1942" by Michal Piegzik.
"Down this road, on a summer's day in 1944, the soldiers came. Nobody lives here now. They stayed only a few hours. When they had gone, the community which had lived for a thousand years, was dead. This was Oradour-sur-Glane in France."
I've been to Oradour-sur-Glane. Very sad.
OMG Parshall’s “ehh” hand signal front & center after the NZ 2nd infantry division was described as “the best infantry division in the Commonwealth!”
What about the man that designed the island hopping commanding General Advanced Echelon ofthe 5th Air Force General Whitehead my uncle 😅
Read the book FLYING BUCCANEERS by BIRDSALL. Mentioned all the time. The book is still top notch !!! Read again if u got it.

The Ukraine comments did not age well.
Which ones? Russia has adapted but still suffer from most of the same issues at the start of their invasion.

Russia gets stronger, Ukraine weaker
Wow Mac Arthur was quite an asshole that is what i learned here
Some a holes make good commanders
The more you learn about MacArthur, the worse of a human being you realize he is.
