The Adjutants Lounge (The Mess of the Glorious 404th)

Our new series of podcasts continues as Phil and I face the Mother of all Quandaries... we soon fall down a rabbit hole of what next, and we'll soon be turning to the masses for guidance. Not sure if this is a wise thing.

+++ Listener Discretion Advised +++ The Russian Way of War - The Discussion Continues. In this episode, Dr Philip Blood, legal counsel Dustin Du Cane and I discuss the continuing Russo-Ukraine war, agriculture, a new book and how the spectre of famine is being weaponised by the Russians.

+++ Adult Content - Listener Discretion Advised. Trigger Warning - Details of Genocide and Horror +++ Continuing the theme of 'The Russian Way of War' Phil Blood and I discuss the continuing war in Ukraine, and the effect the politics of inadequacy and violence have on the current situation in Ukraine.  There is an accompanying article for this podcast that I recommend the listener reads. https://www.philipwblood.com/post/remember-vukovar-lessons-from-the-breakup-of-yugoslavia Pic: UN Peacekeepers collecting bodies from Ahmići, Bosnia and Herzegovina April 1993 - Photograph provided courtesy of the ICTY. *Apologies for the iffy editing at the end

Listener caution: This is one of the more serious posts on the Adjutants Lounge.  In this episode of The Adjutants Lounge Phil Blood (Twitter: @HistorianBlood) discusses The Russian Way of War in its current context in Ukraine. 

In this, the final, feature-length, Adjutants Lounge of 2021 Dr. Philip Blood and I discuss research, re-enactment, the importance of maps, marksmanship and critical thinking, ending with a moment of Juvenilia.  Thanks for your support and help in 2021 in making the Adjutants Lounge the fringe podcast it's become.  Have a great 2022, and we look forward to welcoming you back. 

Entering to the musicality of steam and steel, OC J4, Dr. Philip Blood returns to the Adjutants Lounge to chat about the Working Class experience of rail travel, privatization, late nights out, as well as asserting Sir William Stanier was the greatest British rail engineer... that conversation will be completed.  We also reveal a new series of discussions coming soon.
