Summary

The Bradley Fighting Vehicle was one of the most controversial military projects in U.S military history due to its high cost and safety issues. A book titled, “The Pentagon Wars” by James G Burton, highlighted many of the problems with the Bradley and it was so eye-opening that HBO produced a movie adaption starring Kelsey Grammer. Today, we review the film and discuss the problems with the Bradley and the Military Industrial Complex. Also, in this show, we give an update on the Saudi nuclear deal and Tier 1 Group. Tier 1 Group apparently provided training to the Saudi hit squad that murdered Jamal Khashoggi. https://www.patreon.com/brohistory #73 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
