Hello, you've joined the Victor Davis Hansen show. Victor is a commentator and analyst

of current politics and past political and military affairs. He is a trained class

assistant and philologist and he's written much about both the ancient and modern worlds.

And today is our weekend episode, so we're going to look into history. And the topic

today is going to be the barbarian invasions. We'll do also some current political events

along with it. So stick with us and we'll be right back to start the show.

Senior Fellow in Military History and Classics at the Hoover Institution and the Wayne

that men can at any age and therefore they were somewhat superior in their maturity. I

don't know. But the way that this society is war, there is no more meritocracy. So if you
