George C. Marshall
General, U.S. Army

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DAY 3 AT GETTYSBURG, Phil Smith, Col USMC (ret), joins us to talk about the deliberate attack made by the Army of Northern Virginia on the Army of the Potomac that occurred on July 3, 1863 on the ridges south of Gettysburg.

Phil and I look at the Lee’s concept for the attack on Day 3.  What was he attempting to do when he ordered “Pickett’s Charge”?

Gettysburg is epic battle in American history with incredible decisions to study for fans of military history and decision making.

GEORGE C. MARSHALL — WINNING THE PEACE: Dr. Rob Havers

George C. Marshall
General, U.S. Army

General George C. Marshall, US Army was one of the greatest world leaders of the 20th Century.  His creation and expansion of the modern US military is extraordinary.  His expansion of the US industrial base that supported the military expansion was extraordinary.  His conception of how post-World War II  Europe would be restored and the role The Marshall Plan would play in transitioning the American wartime industry to peacetime functioning without losing capacity or throwing mass  numbers of people out of work.

Dr. Rob Havers is the President of the George C. Marshall Foundation and paints a vivid picture of how Marshall, who wrote no memoirs, achieved the great things he achieved in his life on the GRAND SCALE he achieved them on.

FASCINATING.

John Ubaldi
MGySgt USMC (ret)
Founder, The Ubaldi Reports

The founder of Ubaldi Reports joins us for an update on the G20 Summit where the President encountered Russian President Vladimir Putin for the first time.

QUESTION:  Can the United States have a long-term foreign policy if it doesn’t involve Congress?  Or will it be fundamentally changed every four years?

Interesting discussion.
