Episode 24: Vietnam Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry — Manifesto!

Jake and Phil are joined by novelist, essayist, and Penthouse Magazine national security columnist Matt Gallagher to discuss Gustav Hasford’s June 1987 article in Penthouse Magazine, Vietnam Means Never Having to Say Your Sorry. Due to coronavirus-related time constraints (we all have children who need minding), we are departing from our usual format and will just be discussing the manifesto.
