The Battle at Lake Changjin (Feat: KD from War_Takes) Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

It's that special time of year where you gather around the fire with your loved ones, cozy in with some hot cocoa, and watch your favorite Christmas movie. And while a Chinese move full of propaganda about the time they beat back the US Army at Lake Changjin (The Chosin Resevoir for you America heads) isn't really a Christmas movie, the battle took place about the same time so we're gonna count it.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer when two tanks go head to head and one shoots the other's shell out of the air
