Video's live. You know the drill.
The M60 "Pig" or the M2 Browning — if you had to pick one machine gun to anchor a defensive position in the Vietnamese jungle, which one is it and why?
Veterans of the channel know the answer. New people — let's see if you've been paying attention. 👇

The M60 machine gun replaced the Browning M1919 as America's primary GPMG in Vietnam — but it earned a brutal nickname among the troops who carried it: "The Pig."
It weighed 23 lbs unloaded, jammed in humid jungle conditions, and the bipod had a habit of snapping off at the worst possible moment.
Tomorrow we cover every U.S. machine gun used in Vietnam. 11:30 AM ET.

If the war had lasted into 1946, which American super heavy tank program would have actually changed the battlefield?

Video is live. Now tell me what you actually think.
The T28 had armor the Germans couldn't crack and a gun that could destroy anything they built. By every metric, it was a monster.
But here's the real argument: Were super heavy tanks a stroke of engineering genius — or a complete waste of resources America didn't need to spend?
I want to hear from both sides. 👇

The T28 Super Heavy Tank — America's answer to the German Maus — weighed 95 tons and had 12 inches of frontal armor. Nothing the Germans had could penetrate it from the front.
It also never saw combat. The war ended before it could.
Tomorrow we cover every American super heavy tank project of WW2. The machines that were built for a war that moved faster than they could. 11:30 AM ET.

The video is up. Now I want your take.
Soviet tankers got American Shermans and British Valentines through Lend-Lease. Some called them lifesavers. Others said they were firetraps.
So here's the question: Did Lend-Lease tanks actually change the outcome on the Eastern Front — or would the Soviets have won without them?
Make your case. 👇

The Soviet Union received over 12,000 American tanks through Lend-Lease during WW2 — including thousands of M4 Shermans the Red Army actually preferred to many of their own vehicles.
Soviet tankers nicknamed the Sherman "Emcha" — a phonetic take on M4.
They liked it more than you'd expect. Tomorrow we explain exactly what America sent — and why. 11:30 AM ET.

🔍 DID YOU KNOW?
The M4 Sherman's 75mm gun could penetrate a German Panzer IV at 1,000 yards — but struggled against the Panther's frontal armor at almost any range.
American crews knew it. They called the Sherman "Ronson" — after the lighter that "lights first time, every time."
Our U.S. tank ranking drops TODAY at 11:30 AM ET.
