  One word I would use to explain your success - what you do is authentic. It’s the most appealing form of differentiation.

  My wife does  understand why I watch your videos along with others, I started doing it so I could understand my father who was a sailor in WW2. I came to understand that he had some sort of PTSD from the fears and trauma of war primarily from the kamikaze attacks and picking up the dead, wounded, and survivors of battles, both aviators and sailors.  But as he would say, by the grace of God I continued to live.  He was a good father to me and I thank him daily in my prayers.

  I am a 40 year old construction worker with two grandfathers that fought in the pacific.  I built model planes as a boy and read as many books as I could about ww2 and combat aviation in general.  This show is the coolest thing I never knew would exist.  I put my earbuds in at work and enjoy my workday as I’m entertained and educated..

  I&apos;ve broken my rule of watching before commenting, but I have to stop and say This is why I support this channel, I like to believe I&apos;m up on history and it&apos;s analogous lessons &nbsp;but I&apos;m not beyond correcting, which I do not see as an attack like most but appreciative for the new knowledge and/or Philosophy, Humans then is the same as humans now, this is powerful knowledge

  My father was a Major US Army CIC who served 3 years in the South Pacific. He was awaed the Bronze Star and the Solder&apos;s Medal.He never talked about the specifics of what he did so I find these broadcasts very interesting.

  What keeps me coming back and attracts me to your podcast is the tremendous amount of respect you treat your subject with, in particular the people involved.

  My dad loved Halsey. As a mere CPO he had a very brief but productive encounter in Noumea, New Caledonia. When Halsey was put in charge, morale soared. We have a photo of Halsey next to old family photos on our wall at home to this day!

  What a rich program - both in content and presentation. I am 82 years old. Before this, my knowledge of the navy in World War Ii was basically provided by the original Victory at Sea episodes on Sunday afternoons in New York (your shows give so much greater information). I was in high school then, and would watch with my father, an army veteran from the war in Italy. He also didn&apos;t talk much about the war, and I can&apos;t remember a single comment of &nbsp;his as we&apos;d watch the program. Did all those guys of the Greatest Generation (my dad worked in the CCC, and other jobs during the Great Depression which he said all paid just $35 a month) have a secret pact to remain silent, and decide it was not to be brought up with their kids as they went on to lead their lives as normally and successfully as possible? And they did it very successfully too, as the U S became prosperous under Truman and Ike, all the while presrving the nuclear peace taking up responsibilities as a world super power.
