    Literally made no sense that the Enclave had absolutely ZERO recruitment policy. You absolutely cannot conquer a lawless post-apocalyptic country the size of the United States that ALREADY HAS multiple fledgling and developing communities and nations. The Enclave expected to fight a long series of small and large scale wars over a few short years with completely limited manpower and no way to replenish casualties outside of the birth rates within their secretive shadow organization? Of all the factions that should be making first contact with and recruiting from the Vaults, it should be the Enclave as “the remnants of America’s government” considering it was they who contracted the things. America put its best and brightest inside giant steel bunkers to both develop skills to rebuild the nation, and to perform immoral experimentation and research. Those both sounds like things the Enclave would like to get their mitts on. Smart healthy patriots and evil research documentation.

      Some other channels that are more clickbaity will consistently repeat a sentence, even whole paragraphs, verbatim from the wiki multiple times in one video.

      Bravo! First video I've seen about the Enclave that mentions the Boston Bugle. SO much is revealed in that one article. BTW: The Boston Bugle had PLANNED to release the information about the whereabouts of the American president at the time, and Control Station Enclave, on October 23, 2077 (or maybe the 24th. I honestly can't remember. I'd have to go back and check). But basically, it can be inferred the Boston Bugle was monitored by the Enclave or even Vault-Tec, both of whom were working close together at that time, realized they were about to be exposed to the world and launched a rogue, American nuke at China, forcing the Communists to respond, then forcing the rest of the American military to re-retaliate against China, thus ending the world. Some believe it was Vault-Tec (specifically, Braun) who launched the secret nuke themselves so they could initiate their sick experiments in the Vaults, but it was launched early, the reason why many Vaults were unfinished, for example Vault 88, by the war's start, and why the Vaults got an "Early Warning" ahead of the launch. Awesome video, regardless! ^_^

      I imagine if the enclave makes a return this will be their final force. All that is left, and I always theorized they'd show up with their fleet. I mean it makes sense from a gameplay standpoint. Bethesda keeps introducing bigger and badder tech. Liberty prime (fallout 3) the Prydwin (Fallout 4) and Beth knows the fans want to see more of the enclave. So it's very probable.
