Summary
To mark Memorial Day and 250 years of America, Andrew and Blake dive into American history with a look at the darkest days of the American Revolution. Author Patrick O'Donnell talks about the battles of Brooklyn, Trenton, and Princeton, when unpaid and shoeless American patriots held on when the country was on the brink of total collapse. Then, Hillsdale's Mark Moyar talks about America's 20th Century military, which mobilized to win two world wars but then was led astray during the years of Vietnam.
