Thanks for posting and embedding the video link. Neil is always worth a listen. I have to turn it up fairly loud to make out some of his diction because his (gorgeous) accent is a bit hard for my ears, but he is deliberate and precise in his choice of words.
He mentions Jim Webb’s book on the Scots-Irish history, both in Europe and here in the USA, but he didn’t mention the title: Born Fighting: How the Scots-Irish Shaped America. One of the best histories of our country I’ve ever read; well documented, and giving me a side of “The war between the States” that I had not read before. It explains the why and how a lot of my redneck roots came about.
Problem is Luke was shot in the neck and left to die in the back seat of a car.
Are we all willing to be shot in the neck and left to die in the backseat of a car?
