World War II: Defense of the Philippines - Part 1
A coordinated raid targeted US installations in the Philippines shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Japan's invasion caused US forces to withdraw and led to indefensible brutalities, such as the infamous Bataan Death March. Part 1 of this series looks at the battle's opening days from the Marine Corps perspective.

World War II: Battle of Guam, 1941
The attack on Guam came only a few hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The island's defending force was significantly undergunned against the 5,500 troops from Japan's South Seas Detachment. We spend a little time talking about the amusing way Guam came into US possession, attempts to fortify Guam, and the Japanese attack on the island.

Outstanding Podcast Marine!
Needed to listen to something different while I was working and came across this podcast. I remember a lot of it, was reminded of stuff I had forgotten and I am learning a buttload of stuff I’ve never known. It has been 32 years since I have been in and highly recommend this podcast to anyone who wants to learn about Marine Corps history (good and bad)
Bad pronunciation of the word Britain . Otherwise a decent podcast
See abive
Good host
I listened to the Seminole wars episodes interested in the history and I have no affiliation with the American military. I appreciate the broad approach and consideration of different viewpoints, not what I was expecting. Well done.
