What do a Tortoise, a horse, and a bear have in common? The history guy podcast features three stories of animals who served as military mascots. First is Timothy the Tortoise, who before she died was the last surviving veteran of the Crimean War. Then the history guy talks about Sgt. Reckless, a horse who served with the marines during Korea, carrying munitions, performing heroic feats, and eating almost everything.
