In this gripping episode of History Rage, host Paul Bavill is joined by historian and author Jem Duducu, who returns to tackle the myths surrounding the Wild West. Together, they delve into the fantastical narratives spun by Hollywood and how these portrayals have distorted our understanding of American history. Myth vs. Reality:- Jem passionately argues that the glorified image of cowboys and gunfights has overshadowed the true complexities of life on the frontier, revealing how the reality was far less glamorous than the movies suggest.The Role of the US Army:- Discover the uncomfortable truths about the US Army's role in the westward expansion and how it contributed to the displacement and suffering of Native American populations.Rethinking Cowboys:- Explore the actual duties of cowboys, who were primarily ranch hands, and learn how their portrayal in film has led to a misunderstanding of their lives and contributions.Hollywood's Influence:- Jem critiques the Western genre, highlighting how films have shaped popular perceptions of historical events while often sacrificing accuracy for entertainment value.Unpacking Cultural Representation:- The conversation also touches on the representation of women and people of colour in Westerns, challenging the simplistic narratives that have dominated the genre.Join us for an enlightening discussion that not only dissects the myths of the Wild West but also encourages a deeper understanding of the historical realities that shaped it. Jem's latest book, History of Western Movies, will be available this September, and you can catch more of his insights on the Condensed Histories podcast.Connect with Jem:- Follow Jem on Instagram: @jemduducu and on Bluesky: @jemduducuBuy the book: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/10120/9781538177068 Support History Rage:If you're enjoying this episode, consider joining the 'Angry Mob' on Patreon at patreon.com/historyrage for exclusive content, early access, and the iconic History Rage mug.Follow the Rage:- Twitter: @HistoryRage- Instagram: @historyrage- Facebook: History Rage From all of us at History Rage, stay curious, stay passionate, and most importantly, stay angry!

                                Listen in as Erin and Zander discuss: How Zander went from military service in Iraq to building a $35 million real estate portfolio Why he pivoted from multifamily housing to the untapped niche of RV and glamping resorts The creative financing strategies he uses to secure unique deals How his team markets glamping resorts for maximum occupancy using travel sites, SEO, and influencer partnerships How passive investors can earn monthly distributions (not just quarterly) while also enjoying perks like free stays at the resorts … and much more!                                           About Zander Kempf is a real estate investor and developer specializing in RV and glamping resorts through his firm, Clear Summit Investments. His strategy? Acquiring, scaling, and branding midsize resorts that generate long-term cash flow and financial freedom, but more importantly, provide investors with the opportunity to redefine success and build a life on their own terms. As a former US Army officer, paratrooper, and Special Forces support with a deployment to Iraq, Zander sought a life where freedom wasn't just financial; it was personal. He turned overlooked real estate opportunities into scalable, high-performing assets to create authentic freedom for himself, going from a single home purchase to his now over 35 million dollar portfolio. But for him, investing has never been just about returns. It's about the power to choose, design, and live a life that truly aligns with who you are. Now, living in Hawaii, prioritizing his love for adventure, balance, and health, he's proof that real estate isn't just an investment; it's a vehicle to unlock the life you actually want to live. And now, he's helping others do the same.

The Airborne Mafia: The Paratroopers Who Shaped America's Cold War Army (Cornell UP, 2025) explores how a small group of World War II airborne officers took control of the US Army after World War II. This powerful cadre cemented a unique airborne culture that had an unprecedented impact on the Cold War US Army and beyond. Robert F. Williams reveals the trials and tribulations this group of officers faced in order to bring about their vision. He spotlights the relationship between organizational culture, operational behavior, and institutional change in the United States Army during the Cold War, showing that as airborne officers ascended to the highest ranks of the army they transmitted their culture throughout their service in four major ways—civil-military relations, preparation for potential atomic combat, helicopter airmobility, and strategic response forces. Experiences of training and commanding airborne divisions in World War II led these men to hold sway in army doctrine by the mid-1950s. Dominating institutional thought and imparting their values, beliefs, and norms throughout the service they enjoyed a special privilege within the group culture. Williams demonstrates this impact, privilege, and power by focusing on the paratrooper triumvirate of Matthew Ridgway, Maxwell Taylor, and James Gavin and the lasting impression they made on how the US Army fought. The Airborne Mafia illuminates the power subcultures can have in changing their parent cultures over time, particularly one as set in its ways and as large as the US Army. With a deft touch, deep research, and an unwavering eye for the human stories behind organizational change, Williams helps explain the existence and importance of the paratrooper mystique that remains within the military still today. Former paratrooper Robert F. Williams analyzes masterfully the origins, development, and impact of a small but very influential group of airborne leaders in the decades following WWII. I witnessed this dynamic in both peace and war, and Williams captures the subject superbly. The Airborne Mafia is a must-read for soldiers, scholars, policymakers, and history buffs who want to learn how culture can so significantly influence an organization. Cutting through the outsized myths of one of the US Army's most storied units, Williams delivers a groundbreaking study of the airborne and its soldiers. An incredibly well-told tale of operational innovation, institutional leadership, and cultural persuasion, The Airborne Mafia will no doubt be a go-to book for those interested in an organizational history of the US armed forces during the Cold War era. The Airborne Mafia is a significant contribution to military history. Williams has worked carefully with culture as a driving force in this book. He reveals and fully appreciates how the actions and thoughts of World War II airborne generals shaped the institution into the 21st century. Williams uses the analytical lens of airborne—as a warfighting concept and as individuals dedicated to it—to examine how military institutions change over time. The Airborne Mafia does a phenomenal job articulating how this particular subculture and its vital undercurrents first coalesced and then unified into a powerful force.

This is the VIC 4 VETS, Weekly Honored Veteran. SUBMITTED BY: Buck Carter’s little girl - Allison Schottenhaml Private first-class Buck Carter Vic & KenToday I would like to honor my father Private first class Buck Carter. Born February 3, 1917 in Sikeston Missouri. In 1943 my father was working on his families 700 acre farm outside Sikeston raising cotton , corn, wheat and cattle including driving truck to take crops to barges on the Mississippi river. Everything we know about my father's military history comes from his DD214 and military Personnel records we acquired after he passed away. As he would not really share much of his service.We know on April 23, 1943 he signed up for the US Army at Jefferson Barracks.Line 18 on dd214 Race there are 3 options white, negro or other! His is marked other he was part of the Cherokee Nation.Line 30 military occupational specialty & number. Rifleman 745. I had to look that up and found this: Must be proficient in the use of such hand weapons as rifle, automatic rifle, carbine, pistol, rocket launcher, rifle grenade, hand grenade, flame thrower & bayonet. Must be proficient in the technique of hand to hand combat to destroy enemy Personnel & to assist advance against an enemy position. May perform supervisory duties to control, coordinate & tactical employment of a fire team.Line 32 Battle & Campaigns, Normandy with arrowhead meaning part of D-daySaint Lo-France, Rhineland-GermanyLine 33 Decorations & citations,American Theater Ribbon, World War II Victory Metal, Presidential Unit Citation, Army Occupational Metal (more than 30 consecutive days in occupied territory), Good Conduct metal, Honorable Discharge Lapel Ribbon and Bronze Star.Date of discharge December 21, 1946 After returning from the war my father decided to not return to farming since his 3 brothers were running the farm and he has experience driving a 1 1/2 ton truck he decided he wanted to be a long haul truck driver and see the country he fought for! After a few years of driving he became part owner of a very successful heavy hauling & rigging company in St. Louis and was able to retire when I was 9 years old and we moved to 150 acre ranch raising cattle and appaloosa horses. Every summer when I was out of school we would load up our horses and hit the road camping and trail riding around the country mostly camping on Indian Reservations and visiting historical sites. He taught me to love this country and I believe those trips taught me more than all the history courses in school.When I was 22 years old my father passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm while out eating breakfast with my mom! That was the worse phone call of my life! I was a daddy's girl and miss my father so much everyday but blessed to have spent so much quality time with him! ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

SUBMITTED BY: Buck Carter’s little girl - Allison Schottenhaml Private first-class Buck Carter Vic & KenToday I would like to honor my father Private first class Buck Carter. Born February 3, 1917 in Sikeston Missouri. In 1943 my father was working on his families 700 acre farm outside Sikeston raising cotton , corn, wheat and cattle including driving truck to take crops to barges on the Mississippi river. Everything we know about my father's military history comes from his DD214 and military Personnel records we acquired after he passed away. As he would not really share much of his service.We know on April 23, 1943 he signed up for the US Army at Jefferson Barracks.Line 18 on dd214 Race there are 3 options white, negro or other! His is marked other he was part of the Cherokee Nation.Line 30 military occupational specialty & number. Rifleman 745. I had to look that up and found this: Must be proficient in the use of such hand weapons as rifle, automatic rifle, carbine, pistol, rocket launcher, rifle grenade, hand grenade, flame thrower & bayonet. Must be proficient in the technique of hand to hand combat to destroy enemy Personnel & to assist advance against an enemy position. May perform supervisory duties to control, coordinate & tactical employment of a fire team.Line 32 Battle & Campaigns, Normandy with arrowhead meaning part of D-daySaint Lo-France, Rhineland-GermanyLine 33 Decorations & citations,American Theater Ribbon, World War II Victory Metal, Presidential Unit Citation, Army Occupational Metal (more than 30 consecutive days in occupied territory), Good Conduct metal, Honorable Discharge Lapel Ribbon and Bronze Star.Date of discharge December 21, 1946 After returning from the war my father decided to not return to farming since his 3 brothers were running the farm and he has experience driving a 1 1/2 ton truck he decided he wanted to be a long haul truck driver and see the country he fought for! After a few years of driving he became part owner of a very successful heavy hauling & rigging company in St. Louis and was able to retire when I was 9 years old and we moved to 150 acre ranch raising cattle and appaloosa horses. Every summer when I was out of school we would load up our horses and hit the road camping and trail riding around the country mostly camping on Indian Reservations and visiting historical sites. He taught me to love this country and I believe those trips taught me more than all the history courses in school.When I was 22 years old my father passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm while out eating breakfast with my mom! That was the worse phone call of my life! I was a daddy's girl and miss my father so much everyday but blessed to have spent so much quality time with him! ________________________________________________________________ This Week’s VIC 4 VETS, Honored Veteran on NewsTalkSTL.With support from our friends at:Alamo Military Collectables, H.E.R.O.E.S.

General Douglas MacArthur is arguably the most decorated American military officer in American history. For a career that spanned five conflicts and about 50 years of active duty, it is an impressive record. His service in World War I accounts for nearly 20% of his 100+ decorations, and many military historians view the combination and number of his U.S. and international honors from 1917–1918 as truly unique. To discuss these World War I awards, the World War I Podcast hosted Sherman Fleek, a military historian and former command historian at West Point who has published on General Douglas MacArthur and the history of the US Military Academy.Have a comment about this episode?

Retired Major General Matt Smith shares candid lessons on leading through combat, crisis response, civil unrest, and personal trials at the highest levels of Army command.In this episode of Moments in Leadership, I sit down with retired Major General Matt Smith, US Army, to reflect on the leadership lessons earned over a three-decade career in uniform. From commanding troops in Afghanistan to steering large organizations through hurricanes, civil unrest, and the COVID-19 pandemic, General Smith's story is one of resilience, adaptability, and character.We discuss the weight of command at scale, the challenges of shifting from tactical to executive leadership, and the cultural differences between active duty and National Guard formations. General Smith also shares raw insights from the Pentagon during crises like Black Lives Matter protests, January 6th, and the early days of COVID, offering a rare look inside the Army's decision-making under pressure.Later in the conversation, he opens up about the personal strain of being under investigation while still in command — and the moral courage it took to stay focused on his people, his duty, and the institution. His advice on composure, trust, and standards will resonate with leaders across every profession.Finally, we explore his new mission leading the Master in Business for Veterans program at Emory University, helping seasoned enlisted and officers translate their military leadership into business success.Support the Show & Stay Connected:Support this project on Supercast: Moments In Leadership SupercastVisit the Moments in Leadership website: https://bit.ly/3SA2XHeFollow on Instagram: https://bit.ly/3eO4kTiEmail: themiloffice@gmail.com

Six months ago, President Zelensky was summoned to the Oval Office for an almighty dressing down which sent foreign policy experts into grief and shock. Then just one month ago Putin got the red carpet treatment in Alaska, when all the talk was about Ukraine having no chance of recovering occupied territory. But overnight, everything changed, with Trump following up his extraordinary speech at the UN by declaring that Kyiv “can win back all of Ukraine in its original form.” He also said European NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft in their airspace, which some have argued is gambling with World War Three. Joining Piers Morgan to discuss is ‘Provoked' author Scott Horton, former NATO Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, General Wes Clark and former Republican congressman and US Army reserves Iraq veteran, Peter Meijer.

Often touted as the gold standard in national security strategy making, 1953's Project Solarium was President Eisenhower's way of developing a strategy to counter Soviet expansionism. With frequent current calls for a new Project Solarium, was the original project a versatile solution or was it particular to Eisenhower's presidency? Professor Walter Hudson explains. By 1947 relations with the Soviet Union were viewed in Washington as an ideological tug-of-war that could only be won by one side. After the initial strategy of Containment had been crafted under President Truman, the US and its NATO allies massively increased defence spending once the Korean War broke out, fearing a series of further acts of Communist aggression. By mid-1953, however, Stalin was dead, the Korean War at its end, while the cost to the US of the Containment strategy adopted in 1950 was becoming unbearable. With Project Solarium President Eisenhower initiated a rethink not only of what American strategy should be, but also how that strategy was made and understood by his Administration. Professor Walter M. Hudson from the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy at the National Defense University in Washington, D.C., guides us through the process adopted in 1953. A former US Army officer, he served in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Panama, Korea and Germany, and holds a PhD in military history from Kansas State University. He is the author of Solarium at 70: Project Solarium's Influence on Eisenhower Historiography and National Security Strategy, published in 2023 by the National Defense University.

AR 670-1 has long been a hot topic of discussion among Soldiers and leaders at every level; and too often left open to interpretation. Until now…At the direction of senior Army leadership, Army Directive 670-1 has been released to clarify these standards and provide shared understanding between Soldiers and leaders to know what ‘right' looks like.To explain the changes and how they will affect every member of the Army, Fran Racioppi sat down with Sergeant Major of the Army Mike Weimer, SGM Laurin Nabors and SGM Alex Kupratty. The SMA shares the “why” behind personal grooming standards and the importance of doing the little things that develop a culture of commitment from compliance. SGM Kupratty breaks down the definition of professional soldier from the experienced warriors of 75th Ranger Regiment to the new Privates of 4th Infantry Division. SGM Nabors provides the details on what's changing, when and how the new standards are expected to be enforced. She also shares her journey from an Army Reserve heavy equipment operator to the halls of the Pentagon. This episode is about redefining what it means to serve in the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen and why development of a war fighting culture starts with how a Soldier presents themself each and every day.Highlights0:00 Welcome to the Jedburgh Podcast3:26 Army Directive vs Regulation in 670-15:30 Why Now8:49 Closing Gaps12:55 Changes to 670-121:08 Why Standards Matter28:25 Analyzing Data29:42 Beards34:30 Preparing soldiers38:10 Active Guard Reserve44:30 Joining the Ranger Battalion49:42 The Grace Period50:33 Daily HabitsQuotes“Part of the problem is our process is too slow.”“The first thing I had to figure out is are they educated?”“Do they understand the standards as they are written?”“Once you are emplaced in a leadership position, that's where the commitment piece has to be rock solid.”"If you can't do the simple things I'm asking you to do, how are you going to do the hard things in combat?”“We had to come in and really define “What is military appearance?”“It's a direct reflection of your willingness to be compliant to a standard in your leaders.”“The why reinforces one uniformity.”“We're part of something bigger than all of us."“Really understanding the generational differences that exist is arguably the most challenging thing that I found as a senior leader in the Army.”“I don't think anybody knows what large scale combat will look like.”“The camaraderie that exists in that formation is unlike anything I've seen before.”“Leadership's not about 'What did I do here today?'

During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team are republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode originally aired on June 12, 2023.___The dull hum of aircraft filled the morning air. German soldiers looked up from the French town of St. Lô, expecting to see a few enemy fighters bearing down on them. Their hearts froze in their chests as nearly a thousand bombers emerged from the clouds. They had heard of the devastation wrought by their enemy on the Fatherland's cities, but St. Lô was only a tiny provincial settlement far from the Paris metropolis. In minutes, their world was aflame as Allied bombs exploded around them and tore flesh and metal apart in equal measure. The panzer division holding St. Lô was nearly annihilated in the first of three waves, and little was left as the sun reached its noon height. Then, the survivors heard engines approaching from the north and east in the direction of the Normandy beaches. Tanks and half-tracks bearing white stars swarmed through the town, finishing off the defenders and ripping open the Nazi left flank that had held the Allies back for over a month.The Third United States Army is one of the best-known units of the Second World War. From the opening move on St. Lô in August 1944 to the war's end nine months later, it liberated an area of Nazi-occupied Europe roughly the size of Afghanistan. Its soldiers were the best-trained men in the US Army, its officers and NCOs among the most professional in American military history, and its record of battle remains unsurpassed in enemy casualties inflicted and land covered. Most of the credit is due, of course, to the soldiers in tanks and trucks, but even the proudest of these would point to their commander as the man who made the Third Army such a terrifying weapon of war: General George S. Patton, Jr.Join us for this special, double-length episode of 15-Minute History as we teach you about General George Patton, his life, leadership, heroism, and his effect on the world we know today.
