Nicholas Kidd

Yeah, all Armenian names end in either Yan or Ian depending if you're from eastern or Western Armenia

Lions Led By Donkeys Podcast

All the Armenian name I've heard always ended in "ian". Is this a thing, a bit like Scottish names that often start with "Mc" or just a coincidence?

Sleepi123

Isn't there a whole historical study of military intelligence?

Will Clark

Why is military intelligence so unmentioned in military history? Acquiring maps or guides, knowing the size and location of enemy forces, location of water and fodder, loyalty of allies and subordinates, et cetera... How commanders find out this stuff (or don't) seams fairly important but it rarely gets mentioned. Is it just lack of sources or something more?

Jacob Vardy

Military history is all well and good. But it’s time to take it up a notch. What is your best (personal) military fart story.

If you could give a crate full of AKs and ammo to any military commander before 1400, who are you picking? Personally I'd go for either Alaric (to fuck up some Romans) or the Children's Crusade (could be a laugh idk)

Ben Yardley

If you could fist fight one historical figure who would you choose? Not to the death just till someone taps. And do you think you would win?

WW2 American General Mark Clark. Was he a) an enormous pompous glory struck dickhead? Or b) see previous answer. The fact he allowed the German forces in Italy to escape north and establish the Gothic Line so that he could instead liberate the open city of Rome on June 4th and get some headlines until.... 36 hours later when Allied forces landed at Normandy likely cost tens of thousands of soldiers lives and extended the Nazis fight in Italy until the end of the war.... and that was just an average day for this incredibly vain pinhead. He was actually investigated by Congress post war for his disastrous handling of a river crossing in Jan 1944, but that did not impede his career. A gold braided Donkey if there ever was one.

Deweycat

The internment of Japanese nationals and Japanese-Americans in WW2 has many of the precursor elements of historic genocides (suspicion of foreign allegiance, racism, mass internment, outright violation of the law in order to carry out the detainment). Similarly the extended history of lynchings of Black people in the South has similar patterns to genocides (racism, outright murder without consequence, widespread occurrence). Do you have an opinion as to what stopped these from escalating to the scale of an actual genocide?

Minna Ihalainen

If you could change the course of history with one well placed banana peel, where would you put it?

Alex Tita

Based on the various series and episodes you have done regarding the Russian Empire, Soviet Union and Russian Federation, it's pretty clear that being a Russian conscript is a bleak existence in any time period. Question: which time was the worst to be a Russian conscript and which was the least horrible?

jackson macpherson

Seconded. A disaster that never had a chance to happen, or an example of military development and deployment under the most extreme conditions imaginable?
