The United States has more than its fair share of famous wars in history, but that doesn't even scratch the surface. Have you ever wondered why we don't talk about the Korean War or the War of 1812 very often? Do you even know the names of the wars fought against Native American nations? What about the battle with Japan during the Civil War? In this podcast, Trevor Culley will sit down with friends and guests to discuss all of the American military history that's been forgotten, overlooked, or even covered up to explore lost stories from American history.
