Despite being gravely wounded from a recent tour of the Fenestrelle fortress in the Italian Alps, the War Nerd talks about the big new Mark Bowden book Hué 1968, and his bad memories of the Vietnam War era as it played out on his half-Okie street in the East Area suburbs. . . .We also discuss Gen. Westmoreland, one of the two or three worst generals in American history, as well as Kubrick's defeat in trying to make art out of the battle of Hué . . .
