I've been getting carried away with my videos lately. Because of this, the next few will be much shorter. But yeah, here's another video I've been wanting to make since when I first began my channel. It's basically how I used to teach the Vietnam War to my high school students.

Yes, I used to show them some of the photographs you'll see in this video. Yes, some of them are graphic. Viewer discretion is advised. This video will likely get age-restricted, so I am currently uploading another version that is much more censored.

I recently reached a million subscribers! It's quite a milestone. It only took me 13 and a half years! To celebrate, I did a Q and A livestream a few days ago. I also plan on finally making that Mr. Beast and Mr. Beat Compared video. haha that will be fun

Anyway, thank you all for your continued support!
