From the unfathomable casualty counts of the World Wars and Antietam to the gritty, technological absurdities of Vietnam, this episode asks a glaring question: if we're so "civilized," why has there never been a time on Earth without war? Lionel goes head-to-head with callers to bust long-held historical myths, exploring how esteemed military giants like Eisenhower and MacArthur actually opposed dropping the atomic bomb. Buckle up for a hard-hitting, cynical look at how oil, greed, and "regime change" keep the racket of war spinning, because as it turns out, history would be a wonderful thing if only it were true.
