~ ... Please correct to: Department of War - despite that Dr. Strauss may have then been associated with it when it was named Department of Defense. Clearer statements.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5FAzFSOcT8&t=2330">38:50</a> Strauss is DEAD WRONG!!! Everyone knows that Caesarion is the son of Legionary Titus Pullo.

There's something intuitively wrong about listening to a Jew so cynically emphasize Roman history, religion, and myth which as we all know they despise. No thanks. I've nearly listened to the entire lecture and have gained nothing, except a contemptuous account of Roman history, events and dates.
