I've been making arguments in public for long enough to know that being right is rarely sufficient. You have to be clear, you have to be precise, and you have to understand how language actually works on an audience, which is why I recommend Hillsdale College's new online course, Classical Logic and Rhetoric. In this course, a Hillsdale College professor teaches you the tools to construct a sound argument. You'll learn how to think more clearly, how to structure your reasoning so it holds up under pressure, and how to communicate your ideas in a way that people can understand and respond to. Rhetoric is not manipulation. Logic is not pedantry. Together, they are the tools that allow you to think and speak at your best. This course makes that accessible to anyone. To enroll, go to hillsdale.edu/trigger. There's no cost, and it's easy to get started. That's hillsdale.edu/trigger. One of the central controversies of the war, just was it something that could have been won or not? And a lot of historians, uh, especially on the left, will say, "No, this was, we could never have won it." Yes, I mean, the Americans have air power, artillery. The North Vietnamese don't have these things, and so it is very one-sided. In fact, that will be the general pattern. So they take crippling losses, uh, at the hands of American and South Vietnamese forces. They commit some terrible strategic blunders. This was not a, a foregone conclusion that it was gonna end the way it, it did.

Hollywood's dramatizing things.
Konstantin Kisin· Host1:24
It is, yes.
Francis Foster· Host1:25
Wow.
Konstantin Kisin· Host1:25
[laughs] Yes. Hollywood hasn't done a very good job on Vietnam.
