Description

Podcast of Skeptics Stack Exchange (http://skeptics.stackexchange.com). Hosted by Marco Cecconi (Sklivvz) and Steve Lundquist (Larian LeQuella). In this episode: Throughout the world, we are inundated with images and stories about militaries, their exploits and capabilities, but are these claims really true.
