Nate in GA

It was very informative and points out how some historians and journalists have clearly overlooked what was happening in South Vietnam from 1968-73. After 1967, many on the left focus on what was happening in America while selectively highlighting a few highly negative events in South Vietnam.
Amazing!!

I like the topics but uploads could improve on selecting which classes to upload from. The New Deal episode for example is not the best to be presenting such an important topic. Certainly there’s better lecturers from which to choose some of these topics. Also sound quality in certain lectures is poor and could be more consistent I feel like a simple editing program would fix that .the MaGas who are crying about “different perspectives” are just learning how disgusting their politics is & im all for it. Maybe they’ll learn that their fascists in one of these.
