Professional Military Education

Dr. Victor Davis Hanson joins me to discuss the state of military education. Throughout the interview, we touch on a lot of issues from the current state of military readiness to the lack of military education in colleges and universities. Dr. Hanson is a military historian, classicist, and author of numerous books on military history. It was good to let him speak his mind on a variety of important topics. I appreciate his candor and willingness to share his insight that comes from a lifetime dedicated to studying history.  Key Topics include: How to get people interested in military history The importance of military history to understanding human nature Epaminondas and the downfall of Sparta A discussion of leaders to study including General Ulysses S. Grant and General William T. Sherman A discussion on the causes of war  Why is military history neglected by most colleges and universities? Dr. Hanson’s candid assessment of today’s military and the issues that it faces What the heck is postmodernism?  Boo
