Al Murray and James Holland explore a vivid and heartbreaking article by Paul Fussell about his career in the 7th Army (My War: How I found irony in the infantry) and how it influenced declinist thought in historians.

They also talk about the lack of bullets that would actually hit enemy troops during battle.
