Introducing The War Office Podcast

Welcome to the War Office podcast. 25 US Navy SEALs and a military dog lift off from their air base in Jalalabad in Afghanistan. >> I would not want to be in that room. I would not want to know what the blood pressure is of the president when that incident occurs. >> The United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al-Qaeda. >> On the 6th of June, 1944, the Western Allies launched Operation Overlord. >> I think the best way to describe the Atlantic Wall was that it was mad. Absolutely mad. There's no other way of putting it. >> To say that the Führer himself was a handicap to Germany's war aspirations was on so many levels a massive understatement. >> It's a few minutes before 4:00 a.m. on the 27th of February, 2014. >> The relationship of Russia and the new Ukrainian state were always going to be problematic. >> From a pure military science perspective, this was playing on easy mode for that reason. >> Who was responsible or involved in this Munich Olympic attack and then to hunt and kill each of them. >> If ever lions were led by a donkey in modern American warfare, surely this was true of the Marines who had the misfortune to serve under Rupertus at Peleliu. >> This is the War Office podcast.
