    How The Navy Got Its... Reputation

    In 1919, rumors were swirling that a naval base in Newport, Rhode Island, was rife with immoral (gay) behavior. In response, Assistant Secretary of the Navy Franklin Roosevelt commissioned a sting operation. Send fresh, young sailors into the base to honeytrap men into having sex with them. What followed was one of the biggest scandals in U.S. Navy history.

    New Orleans' Murderous Hooker

    When you think about prostitutes and serial killers, you generally assume the former is being killed by the latter. But in the case of Bridget Fury, the former IS the latter. Fury was infamous in antebellum New Orleans for killing Johns who didn't pay, mutilating rival ladies of the night, and all other manner of horrific crimes.  Subscribe to the Softcore History Patreon for hundreds of hours of extra history content including episodes like this ad-free, listener voicemails, movie watch-alongs, and weekly bonus episodes.  Download thePrizePicks app today and use code SOFTCORE to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup!

    This Is Sparta!

    King Xerxes launched a second invasion of Greece in 480 BC to avenge his father's failures a decade before. The massive Persian army of over 100,000 men was met by Leonidas and his force of 300 Spartans (and roughly 7,000 other soldiers) at a pass in Thermopylae. This three day stand turned the Spartans into martyrs and a rallying cry for the Greek city states.  Subscribe to the Softcore History Patreon for hundreds of hours of extra history content including episodes like this, listener voicemails, movie watch-alongs, and weekly bonus episodes.  Download thePrizePicks app today and use code SOFTCORE to get $50 in lineups after you play your first $5 lineup!

    The Pacific Theater Was A Nightmare

    Maybe we don't talk about the Pacific Theater in World War 2 as much as we should because we don't want to acknowledge how gross it actually was. The Battle of Peleliu is arguably the best example of how foul it was. Unspeakable war crimes, temperatures exceeding 110 degrees, crabs eating dead bodies that had exploded from the heat, human mutilation by normal men who'd been broken by the savagery of the battle. Peleliu might have been literal hell.

    The Japanese Ate A Lot of People In WW2

    The Japanese committed a lot of war crimes in World War II but cannibalism wasn’t one of them, though only because cannibalism wasn’t technically a war crime because no one thought to make a rule against it. Still, Imperial Japanese soldiers practiced cannibalism more than you would think, and NOT because of a lack of food. We talk about the instances Japanese soldiers ate Allied troops both as an act of psychological warfare and because they believed it would bring them strength.  Subscribe to the Softcore History Patreon for hundreds of hours of extra history content including episodes like this, listener voicemails, movie watch-alongs, and weekly bonus episodes.  Rob Fox https://www.instagram.com/robfoxthree/ https://twitter.com/RobFoxThree https://www.tiktok.com/@robfoxthree Dan Regester https://www.instagram.com/danregester/ https://twitter.com/dan_regester
