Mes chers camarades, bien le bonjour !Je sais que par ici vous aimez bien ce qui touche à l'histoire de l'Égypte, et comme régulièrement, j'ai un truc pour vous ! Eh ouais, en mars 2025, la tombe assez spectaculaire d'un haut commandant de Ramsès III a été découverte à Tell Roud, promis c'est intéressant et je vous explique ça !Bonne écoute !

Le 14 décembre 2024, le cyclone tropical Chido frappe violemment l'archipel de Mayotte, situé dans l'océan Indien. Immédiatement, les moyens de l'Etat sont mobilisés pour venir en aide à la population. Dans les semaines qui suivent, un bataillon de reconstruction est créé avec à sa tête le colonel Blaise Seguin alors commandant du 31e régiment du génie.  C'est cette mission d'assistance à la population et d'appui à la reconstruction au plus proche des Mahorais que cet officier rompu aux théâtres d'opération va nous raconter. Comment s'est organisé ce déploiement, avec quel préavis et quels objectifs ? Comment ses sapeurs habitués à travailler dans un contexte de crise ou de catastrophe naturelle ont-ils appréhendé les ravages de ce cyclone hors norme ? Que gardera-t-il de cette expérience et de son temps de commandement ? Un récit à hauteur d'homme. Musique originale : Stéphane Lebaron et Romain Paillard Crédit photo : MDL Victor François

Le Groenland est devenu un enjeu géopolitique important ces derniers mois. En effet, si les appétits s'aiguisent, c'est parce que c'est l'une des rares régions inexploitées de la planète. Or, ses formidables réserves en terres rares sont connues et sa position est rendue éminemment stratégique par l'accélération de la fonte des glaces. C'est une très mauvaise nouvelle pour la hausse du niveau de la mer qui nous impacte tous. Donald Trump a promis que cette possession danoise serait un jour américaine. Mais la réponse des 57 000 Groenlandais ne se fait pas attendre, « Nous ne sommes pas à vendre ! ». En mai 2025, à cause d'une canicule inédite en Islande, les glaces de l'inlandsis ont fondu 17 fois plus vite que la moyenne historique ! Et la fonte de la calotte glaciaire qui recouvre cette île-continent du pôle Nord pourrait devenir irréversible à partir de 2030. D'ailleurs, le fait que l'Arctique se réchauffe 4 fois plus vite que le reste de la planète est aussi terrifiant pour les populations qui y vivent. Ils sont les témoins des impacts concrets du dérèglement climatique. Une évolution que suit de près le projet français Greenlandia qui a emmené des journalistes dans ces zones reculées. Ittoqqortoormiit est le village le plus isolé du Groenland. Ses 350 habitants vivent à l'entrée du plus grand fjord du monde. C'est ici, sur la côte Est du continent gelé, que l'initiative Greenlandia a emmené cet été des chercheurs français et groenlandais pour étudier comment les changements climatiques impactent la biodiversité fragile de ce fjord. Le journaliste scientifique Yann Chavance nous emmène à bord du voilier polaire Kamak pour suivre le travail de ces chercheurs, mais aussi à terre dans les rues d'Ittoqqortoormiit à la rencontre de ses habitants, qui voient leur mode de vie traditionnel bousculé par la fonte de la banquise, compliquant la chasse et ouvrant la porte au tourisme polaire. Avec le journaliste scientifique Yann Chavance à Ittoqqormiit, où le projet Greenlandia étudie l'impact du dérèglement climatique sur l'ensemble du vivant.

[5:06] On August 6th, he will deliver the closing keynote at the RIMS Texas Regional, providing highlights from his 33 years in the Army, including years as the Commanding General of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. [5:20] I'm so glad he's here to provide a preview of his keynote and also discuss flood risk and leadership. Let's get to it! [5:28] Interview! Retired Major General Robert F. Whittle Jr., welcome to RIMScast! [5:35] Joining us now is one of the RIMS Texas Regional's keynotes, Major General (Retired) Bob Whittle. [5:46] Major General (Retired) Bob Whittle, Jr. asks Justin to call him Bob. [6:03] This is the inaugural Texas Regional event. Bob is excited about it. He loves Texas, and he knows people are coming from all over the country to attend. Justin adds that it's a big deal for the Texas chapters, which are some of the most active and voluminous RIMS chapters. [6:27] Bob's keynote will close out the Conference on August 6th.  [6:31] Today's discussion will be about flood risk and then about leadership. [6:47] Bob's bio is on the RIMS Texas Regional page. [6:52] Bob was Deputy Commanding General of Operations for the U.S. Army North, responsible for Homeland Defense and coordination with civil authorities. One major event occurred domestically while he was there. [7:17] That was the integration of 70,000 refugees from Afghanistan to the United States. When the U.S. left Afghanistan, a lot of interpreters, their families, and other key players were able to come to the United States. They needed help integrating into U.S. society with jobs and homes. [8:05] Bob says there was never an expectation that we would have to move 70,000 people here. We thought that Afghanistan would continue to move forward after we left, but it fell pretty rapidly. Some Afghan interpreters and officers who were under threat were brought to the U.S. [8:52] One of the challenges in any kind of operation like that is that it involves Federal, state, and local officials, and non-governmental organizations. Within the Federal side, we have FEMA, the State Department, and the Department of Defense. [9:14] These agencies worked together to build a framework and partner with the other authorities. The first risk is that politics or ego get in the way of accomplishing the mission. [9:28] The mitigation for that is trying to build relationships well ahead of the crisis, so people trust each other and can work together. They constantly emphasized the unity of the mission. [9:41] It's not unity of command, as there's no chain of command with all the partnerships, but there must be unity over the mission of resettling the Afghan refugees. [10:06] Justin asks if Bob is as easygoing as he seems. Bob says, you'd have to ask the people he worked with to get a solid understanding of who he is, versus how he self-reports. He says he is known for being cool, calm, and collected. When he needs to step it up, he can do it rapidly. [10:35] Bob found that projecting a calm personality helped him build trust. From years in the military, Bob learned that you succeed by making your peers successful. The more you help your peers, the more likely it is that you will earn a promotion or the assignment that you want. [11:37] Bob was in the Corps of Engineers for 33 years. He's a Licensed Professional Engineer in the State of Virginia. He led the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Great Lakes and Ohio River Division. The civilian side of the Corps of Engineers deals with infrastructure. [12:13] Bob speaks of dam safety. The Corps of Engineers is responsible for the dams in Federal Navigation channels. They work through the inherent risks of the dams, making sure they have the right controls in place and testing to ensure that the controls are there. [12:42] There are so many other dams in the U.S. Some of them are private. While Bob was at the Great Lakes and Ohio River Division, two private dams failed in Michigan, the Edenville Dam and the Sanford Dam. The Corps went up there to assist and help determine the root cause. [13:07] It was a lesson in making sure you are doing all the right things from a risk perspective. Controls weren't in place. Some issues had been identified but not mitigated. The State of Michigan stepped in and worked with the private company to mitigate the issues. [13:35] The dams had failed, and there was a lot of flooding in that area. It was unexpected as it had not happened before. It was in May 2020, a month after COVID-19 started hitting. [13:53] When things happen, you have to look forward. The Corps of Engineers is key. If the Ohio River drops too low for barge traffic to go through, eventually, Nashville starts to have a lot of trouble with power. It's very important to keep the Corps of Engineers running. [14:15] During COVID-19, the Secretary of Defense stated, “I want everybody in the Defense Department to stop moving. Stay where you are.” Bob was the Acting Deputy of the Corps of Engineers then. He immediately communicated to the 37K in the Corps, Don't stop moving. [14:32] If the Army Corps of Engineers had stopped, it would have been a huge issue. There were repair shifts at work, making sure things were running. In Michigan, when those two dams failed, the Corps put their masks on and moved out to help solve issues. [15:03] The risk framework the Corps of Engineers uses for dam safety is similar to what Bob has seen in industry and similar to what the Army does, even at a small unit level. The Army has a risk document that they use for training or going into combat. [15:26] The Army's risk document covers inherent risk, the probability of an issue, mitigation and controls, residual risk, and what the impact would be. The controls are the most important thing. They help ensure a low probability of a huge issue. The risk document is simple, and it works. [16:17] On the topic of the tragic recent Texas floods, how should leaders be thinking about flood risk mitigation? Bob knows that everyone involved in the situation is doing the absolute best that they can. If you want to be prepared for any disaster, it starts with simple planning. [17:24] You have to look at what the disaster may be, what the probability of it may be, and if it does occur, the key things that will need to happen on the ground in response, the people who will need to be involved, the resources they will need, and the timing of those activities. [17:46] It's like deliberate project management. You have to make assumptions in the beginning about what will happen. The next thing is getting funding for the resources, the people, and the tasks that have to occur. [18:01] There's a lot of deliberate planning and, for any domestic emergency in the U.S., the planning has to be done at the Federal level, the State level, the local level, and with non-governmental organizations that will be involved.  [18:15] The first step is building relationships ahead of time. Step two is to have rehearsals. The rehearsals can be with a map and some key leaders on site. Rehearsals help to validate the planning you've done. [18:51] In a disaster, one of the first steps is to allocate resources. There were decisions about resources when COVID-19 hit all over the U.S. They couldn't just send money to one area. The Federal government, states, local governments, and NGOs decided how to allocate resources. [19:23] Bob points out that you can decide with no information or with 100% of the information. In an emergency, you don't have time to get 100% of the information out there, so you need to determine if you have enough information to make this decision and if you need to act now. [19:46] It's about risk. Do you take a chance? Risk is all about the probability of success. It's achieving an objective. [20:04] After the disaster is over, a lot of people evaluate those decisions and take two years to study whether the right decision was made. You've got to be in the shoes of the person making the decision, with the same timing, to understand how they did it and why. [20:24] You do want to review the decisions, to learn from them, but you have to know that these leaders are making decisions based on the time available and the necessity of moving things forward.

[23:34] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with RIMS Texas Keynote Speaker Major General (Ret.) Robert F. Whittle Jr.! [23:44] What's the vibe at a Bob Whittle keynote? Bob focuses on the lessons he's learned over his career. A lot of the lessons are from mistakes that he has made, or vicariously from mistakes others have made. [24:00] Bob's goal is to make it humorous with some anecdotes; people remember anecdotes. He plans for an enjoyable session. Bob feels that when you're speaking to an audience, it's a hostage crisis. You owe it to them to entertain them a bit while providing valuable information. [24:34] Bob says it's not a hostage crisis if people are glad they went. [24:44] At the end of his keynote, Bob takes questions from the audience. He says it's the most enjoyable part because it's a free flow of information. [25:01] Bob has led troops in combat and peacekeeping missions across multiple continents. Bob says he learned a lot about cultural risk and adaptability in leadership. He says the Armed Forces learned a lot during that process, and the U.S. government did, as well. [25:22] After major combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and moving into a stability effort, Bob says they learned about human terrain, the culture of the people. The culture can vary from place to place and village to village. [25:58] An American isn't ever going to understand the cultures as well as the interpreters (many of whom had emigrated to the U.S. and had come back to interpret) and the NGOs in place. Have them help you learn the culture. [26:34] Bob talks about how these experiences shaped his strategies. He became more of an active listener to gain situational awareness. To develop a relationship with an Afghan officer, you visit him at least three times and have tea with them. [27:11] Bob speaks of vision. Afghanistan, for thousands of years, had not been a democracy. Are you going to make it a democracy in a year or even in one generation? You have to know the human terrain. What is the best governance for the people to make the country not a threat? [27:55] Within the culture, how do you make that as benign as possible and effective, the way that they like to do it? [28:17] Bob talks about decision-making under pressure. It is harder in some ways and easier in others than your regular decisions. You're not going to get to 100% of the information under pressure. [28:33] You have to accelerate the decision-making. The more you know about your environment and the probability of different things happening, the more comfortable you can be with that.  [28:50] A leader has to stay as cool, calm, and collected as possible in that environment. Everyone who works for you or with you, whom you want to influence, is looking to you for how they should feel. How bad is it? If you can keep that posture, they're going to perform better. [29:18] It's easier to do that when you're a leader because you know people are counting on you. If you focus on that, the cool calmness just comes. [29:31] Bob was Commandant of the U.S. Army Engineers School. Bob talks about preparing the next U.S. Army Engineers. The key is training. If you know your job well and you've trained as much as possible, then you'll be more apt to take the right actions and be cool and calm. [30:05] The Army does a great job of investing in training for its people. An Engineer Officer goes to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, for seven months right after they're commissioned. They come back, four years later, for a year. [30:19] They'll come back again as they get different promotions and constantly sharpen their edge. They are trained in every task that they're going to do, domestically in the U.S., or combat. [30:37] The training is repeated so the officers will gain good instincts and be able to take action without having to think long and hard about it; at the same time, being able to realize that every situation is different; How do they need to make this decision? [30:53] The U.S. Army Engineers School specifically teaches risk management. When the Army goes into a new nation for combat operations, they have to assess the bridges there. The bridges won't be in a U.S. database. A lot of the bridges are small. There may be many streams. [31:15] Bridges over streams may be small, and the Army has huge tanks. The Army has float bridges that they assemble in streams. The speed of the river and the types of banks affect how much material those bridges can handle. [31:51] They need engineers to go out there and evaluate the load classification for each bridge. When the Army went into Bosnia, they crossed the Sava River, which was in flood stage at the time. That takes a much longer bridge. It took a lot of ingenuity and more resources to cross. [32:34] When it comes to risk management, it's important to look at all the different controls. For bridges, one control is that one vehicle crosses at a time. You don't need three tanks on the bridge. Engineers need to decide if a float bridge can handle two tanks or limit it to one. [32:55] They could limit it to day crossing only, with people guiding the tank. There are all kinds of things to make sure they get right. [33:04] Justin looks forward to hearing more about Bob's experience on August 6th at 11:00 a.m. at the RIMS Texas Regional Conference 2025 in San Antonio. [33:17] Bob is a graduate with a Master's Degree in Environmental Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, so a little Texas accent comes through. He loves Texas, and he got there as soon as he could. [34:23] Special thanks again to Retired Major General Bob Whittle for joining us here on RIMScast.

De kogel is door de kerk, de hogere NAVO-norm is een feit. Dat zadelt COMMIT, de commando voor materieel en IT bij defensie, met een flinke klus op.

The new cybersecurity pioneers aren't chasing alerts, they're building with AI. But what happens when tools meant to assist begin making decisions for us? And what skills do we lose when machines fill the gaps we used to grow into? In this episode, Chris Cochran, CEO and Founder of Commandant, returns to Hacker Valley Studio with an insider view on building in the AI boom. He shares why he's betting on incident response over the “AI SOC,” what it means to use AI with integrity, and how this moment mirrors the early industrial revolutions: chaotic, risky, but ripe with once-in-a-career opportunity.   Impactful Moments: 00:00 – Introduction 02:11 – Launch of Commandant AI 03:06 – Early-stage LLM opportunities 05:26 – Built first AI co-pilot in 4 hours 06:00 – AI bot tops HackerOne leaderboard 07:44 – AI used for and against orgs 10:14 – Focus on incident response, not AI SOC 12:34 – Reducing cost of prolonged incidents 14:01 – Cybersecurity changing every 2 months 16:58 – AI causing rapid skill loss 21:59 – AI-assisted job interviews detected 24:49 – AI lacks business context for blocking 27:30 – Daily AI use pays long-term dividends Links: Connect with our guest, Chris Cochran: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrishvm/   Check out our upcoming events: https://www.hackervalley.com/livestreams Join our creative mastermind and stand out as a cybersecurity professional: https://www.patreon.com/hackervalleystudio Love Hacker Valley Studio?

Learn how to lead like a general and build an extraordinary team. Applying battle-tested military principles that work when lives are on the line. This episode dives deep into servant leadership, decision-making under extreme pressure, building unshakeable team loyalty, and the critical difference between positional authority and earned respect. You'll discover why the most successful leaders take credit for failures while giving their teams credit for wins, how to train your people to standards (not time), and the strategic thinking frameworks used at the highest levels of military command that directly translate to boardroom success. I'm incredibly honored to have Major General Steve Maranian on the show - and I mean that. This guy is one of the most respected leaders and change agents in military history, with global defense expertise honed over 17 years in Europe, Africa, and Asia, including combat deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait. As the former Commandant of the US Army War College, Steve literally commanded and trained future world leaders while revolutionizing military education. He's currently the Commanding General of the 56th Artillery Command in Germany, where he built an entire organization from fewer than 100 soldiers to thousands, overseeing budgets and contracts worth tens of millions. Steve's the guy they call when they need someone who can build coalitions with international partners, transform organizations from the ground up, and solve the most complex leadership challenges. Trust me, what this man shares in this episode will change how you think about leadership forever. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Never ask your team to do anything you wouldn't do yourself. Take credit for failures, give your team credit for wins. Train to standards, not time - master basics before adding complexity. Use trusted advisors who will speak truth to power when making decisions. Make the counter-argument as strong as your preferred position. Personal connections drive performance more than positional authority. Commander's intent includes specific tasks and timelines, not just vision. Hope is not a method - analyze why strategies might fail. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Met ‘operatie Spinnenweb’ heeft Oekraïne Rusland een pijnlijke tik gegeven. Poetin gaat terugslaan, vertelde hij Donald Trump in een telefoongesprek. Te gast is onze Rusland-correspondent Joost Bosman. Hij vraagt zich af wat Poetin nog echt kan doen om wraak te nemen. Want hoeveel erger kan het nog worden voor Oekraïne? Lees ook | Veldkamp: ‘Gesprek Trump en Poetin kan eerste stap zijn naar vrede, maar Poetin blijft tegenwerken’ Europaverslaggever Geert Jan Hahn sprak met Eurocommissaris van defensie Andrius Kubilius en Commandant der Strijdkrachten Onno Eichelsheim over 'operatie Spinnenweb'. Zij zijn vol bewondering over de Oekraïense aanval. Maar maken zich toch ook zorgen, want zijn Nederland en Europa wel voorbereid op dit soort droneaanvallen? Luister ook | Spinnenweb en de nitwits Zuid Korea heeft nu echt een nieuwe president Na het uitroepen van de staat van beleg, het afzetten van president Yoon en benoeming van meerdere interim-presidenten heeft Zuid Korea nu eindelijk echt een nieuwe president. De centrum-linkse liberaal Lee Jae-myung moet nu de als president de politieke chaos gaan herstellen. Te gast is hoogleraar Koreastudies, Remco Breuker. Hij maakt zich zorgen over de plannen van Lee om de banden aan te halen met Noord-Korea. Van bromance tot botsing | Postma in Amerika Elon Musk blijft zich kritisch uitlaten over de ‘Big Beautiful Bill’. Een reactie van president Donald Trump blijft voorlopig uit, maar de irritatie lijkt toe te nemen – Musk heeft immers een enorm bereik. Ook binnen de Republikeinse Partij groeit de onrust over het wetsvoorstel. Aan de ene kant wil men geen ruzie met Musk, aan de andere kant is botsen met de president misschien nog wel riskanter.

Please take just a few minutes to complete our 2025 listener survey because your opinion is very important to us. In this episode of From the Crows' Nest, host Ken Miller is joined by a panel of two Army colonels to unpack how the Army has made strategic investments into growing its EW capabilities.Col. John Hosey, Chief of Cyber and Commandant of Army Cyber School, tells Ken that the Army began producing soldiers with cyber training in 2008 – very new in the military world. He says one of their points of focus now is to improve the ability of the Army to reprogram their kit to change their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) as threats evolve.Col. Leslie Gorman explains to Ken that her role as the Army Capability manager for EW is to help the Army, as a retired general officer told her last year, “own the EMS like [the Army] owned the night in the 1980s.” Col. Gorman says their push now is to set the conditions so advanced machine learning and algorithmic-based analytics can set the stage for the future of the Army's EW efforts. To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.We also invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at host@fromthecrowsnest.org.

The biggest threat to America today is too often the one we think about the least. Nuclear, biological, and chemical warfare has been around for decades and the effects of an NBC attack on the homeland or American interests abroad is a very real scenario. Retired Lt. Gen Leslie Smith spent a career in the Army as a Chemical Officer. He served as the Chief of the Chemical Branch and Commandant of the United States Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear School. He was the first Chemical officer to serve as the Commanding General of the United States Army Maneuver Support Center of Excellence and the first Chemical officer to serve as the Army's Inspector General. He is now the Vice President for Leadership and Education at the Association of United States Army.With reports looming about Russian willingness to use NBC weapons in Ukraine, and Iran's constant desire to acquire them and put them into the hands of terrorist proxies, Fran Racioppi sat down with Lt. Gen. Smith to discuss the real threat America faces. We broke down the history of America's Chemical weapons programs, their use in various stages of conflicts, the implementation of international prohibitions, how the US Army prepares for NBC threats, and what we learned about their modern day use through the COVID pandemic. Lt. Gen. Smith also shared insight into the important role the Inspector General plays in maintaining standards and accountability within the Army, as well as the role AUSA is playing in supporting soldiers both active duty and post-service.

This is a conversation to kick off the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Retired U.S. Army Major General and history buff, Bill Rapp, drops some knowledge on how the colonies weren't exactly gung-ho for a full-blown revolution before April 1775. Turns out, they were mostly ticked off and feeling rebellious in response to intolerable British policies. But a tense situation and an itchy trigger finger set it off. The episode covers the action-packed Battles of Lexington and Concord, George Washington taking charge of the Continental Army, the intense Battle of Bunker Hill (which was actually fought on Breed's Hill), and the clever move at Dorchester Heights that sent the British packing from Boston. William “Bill” Rapp is a retired Major General of the United States Army with 33 years of distinguished service which included combat deployments in three wars, two Defense Service Medals, two Bronze Star Medals, Master Parachutist and Ranger tabs. He was not only a respected Army officer, but also a leadership developer who served as Commandant of the Army War College and Commandant of Cadets at the US Military Academy at West Point.  In over 42 months in combat, Bill led an airborne engineer company in the first Gulf War, commanded a 3,000-soldier brigade in the Iraq War, served as General Petraeus' personal assistant during the Iraq Surge, and commanded over 17,000 troops supplying all resource needs of the 160,000 U.S. and international force in Afghanistan in 2011-12. He also served as the Army's senior liaison to the U.S. Congress. Bill holds a PhD in Political Science from Stanford University and is the author of the book about the Boston Campaign of the American Revolutionary War titled Accomplishing the Impossible: Leadership That Launched Revolutionary Change. He now consults and teaches on leadership and is working on his second book on Sioux and Cheyenne leadership at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

Een bombardement op de Oekraïense stad Soemy met grote gevolgen, maar volgens de Amerikaanse president Donald Trump was het een vergissing van de Russen. Op de grond is Rusland aan een voorjaarsoffensief begonnen, zegt de Oekraïense legerbaas Syrsky.Onze eigen krijgsmacht moet zo snel mogelijk paraat staan voor een eventuele inzet. Dat heeft Commandant der Strijdkrachten Onno Eichelsheim gemeld via een zogenoemde dagorder.

We geven meer geld uit aan defensie. Niet alleen omdat Amerika dat van ons eist, maar ook omdat we minder afhankelijk willen worden van diezelfde Amerikanen. Maar om dat te bereiken is nog heel veel nodig. Zo is de defensie-industrie in Europa nog ontzettend versnipperd. En op sommige domeinen staan de ontwikkelingen in Europa nog in de kinderschoenen. Hoe kunnen we onze slagkracht op het vlak van defensie vergroten en ook echt onafhankelijker van Amerika worden? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering van De Strateeg van: - Tom Middendorp, speciaal gezant namens Nederland voor de Europese Defensiesamenwerking en voormalig Commandant der Strijdkrachten.

In a cinema in south-west Germany, an audience is gathered to watch an Oscar-winning film, The Zone of Interest, about the life of Rudolf Höss, commandant of Auschwitz. Those present comprise Jewish people from around the world, and the special guest is Rudolf's grandson, Kai.The topic was rarely visited during Kai's childhood. It was only after a school history lesson that he began to comprehend Rudolf's role as head of the largest mass murder site in history. Journalist Shiroma Silva talks to Pastor Kai Höss as he seeks to disabuse congregations of the thinking that has all too often blamed Jewish people for all the world's ills, and describes himself as a Gentile who has been saved by Jewish leaders.

What kind of a reaction should you expect when you piss off the Commandant of The Marine Corps? Is it possible for the a guy to take his PT Test in peace?  Find out, the answers to these questions and more on this weeks "sode" of The Cammo Comedy Show Podcast!If you have any funny military stories of your own that you would like to share, drop us a line at:stories@cammocomedy.com  or  Leave a voicemail at (531) 222-6146  Sadly, the voicemail will only record in 2 minute blocksWe are here to make you laugh, but behind this there is the imbedded philosophy of, "No One Left Behind." Sadly, 22 vets per day commit suicide, approximately 67,500 vets are homeless and thousands struggle with everyday life after service.  What we hope to accomplish is providing a fun place to gather that will have a similar feel to the conversations that happen at the VFW or American Legion between vets.  Since the latest generations of vets are not really going to these places anymore, we are making it happen online.  We believe that the sense of community will help some who struggle, while providing stories about the good times that we can all laugh at!An additional part of this show is capturing the oral history of the military over the past few decades, so if you happen to know a veteran who served during WW2, Korean War or Vietnam eras, we would love to hear from them.  Obviously, we want to hear stories from all eras, but we have special respect for the older generations.

Every day Rudolf Höss oversaw the killing of thousands of people at the death camp and then went home and acted like a doting father to his family. Höss was brought in by top Nazis to pioneer the industrialisation of the mass murder of Europe's Jews and others. He lived in a house that shared a wall with Auschwitz, metres from the crematorium, where he and his family enjoyed a happy domestic life - his wife once described their life at the house as 'paradise'.The house was home to a Polish family until last year when it was taken over by the Counter Extremism Project who invited History Hit to explore the house, which is largely as it was when the Hoss family lived there. Dan travels to Poland with historian and best-selling author Thomas Harding to discover more about Höss' role in the Holocaust and what the house teaches us about 'the banality of evil'. They learn about what went on there, what Holocaust artefacts were recently found in the attic and the future of the house as a centre to combat hate.Warning: this episode contains descriptions of human suffering and genocide which some listeners may find upsetting.With special thanks to the Counter Extremism Project, Dr Hans-Jakob Schindler, Keith Burnet and Thomas Harding.You can find out more in Thomas' book Rudolf and Hans: The German Jew and the Hunt for the Commandant of Auschwitz. He also has a new book out for children. It's called 'The Story of the House that Hid Anne Frank.'Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Max Carrey and Dougal Patmore

The US Marine Corps has seen its time and it is now the opportunity to sunset it and wish it well in memorium. Two historical moments have destroyed the efficacy and primacy of the USMC: missiles and the sad Commandant tenure of GEN David H. Berger who will be remembered as the man who murdered the Corps. The US has not made a contested beach landing since Inchon in 1-19 September 1950 and the era of missiles has made the contested beach landing by maritime connectors and vertical envelopment a murderously expensive undertaking. The non-naval Houthis in Yemen have proven that US and allied naval surface power is a questionable enterprise peripheral to littorals. It is time to lay the wreaths, acknowledge the contributions, stand to for the swansong and decommission the Corps.
