  • AI, War, and the Blind Spots in America’s Defense| with JJ Parma

    AI, War, and the Blind Spots in America’s Defense| with JJ Parma
    Mar 27 2026
    What if the next evolution of national security isn’t more troops… but smarter technology? In this episode of Full Spectrum Frontiers, Bennett sits down with former Navy SEAL JJ Parma to break down the uncomfortable reality behind modern security, artificial intelligence, and the gaps most Americans never see. After 21 years in the SEAL Teams and a transition through Wall Street, JJ is now on the front lines of a different kind of battlefield—working with ZeroEyes, an AI-driven weapons detection platform designed to stop threats before they happen. This conversation goes deeper than headlines. We get into:
    • Why most security systems in America are still reactive
    • The hidden vulnerabilities in U.S. infrastructure and military bases
    • How AI is already reshaping national defense (and what’s coming next)
    • The real cost of prolonged wars—and the lack of clear strategy
    • Why entrepreneurship and innovation are now critical to national security
    • The uncomfortable truth about bureaucracy, decision-making, and enforcement
    And maybe most importantly… What kind of future we’re actually building for the next generation. This isn’t fear-driven. It’s reality-driven. Because national security isn’t just about what happens overseas…
    It’s about what we protect here at home.

  • The Untold WWII War Crimes Still Shaping Asia Today | Full Spectrum Frontiers

    The Untold WWII War Crimes Still Shaping Asia Today | Full Spectrum Frontiers
    Jan 15 2026
    World War II did not end cleanly in the Pacific.
    It left behind buried memories, unresolved trauma, and secrets that still shape global politics today. In this powerful conversation, Bennett Tanton sits down with Jenny Chan of the Pacific Atrocities Education Center to uncover the parts of WWII history most people were never taught. From Japanese war crimes and human experimentation to the long-term effects of generational trauma, this episode explores how history does not simply disappear when wars end. We dive into the forgotten suffering of civilians, prisoners of war, and even the soldiers who carried out horrific acts. Jenny explains how selective historical memory has distorted international relationships, fueled resentment, and quietly influenced modern geopolitics in Asia and beyond. This episode is not about blame.
    It is about truth, memory, and why national security depends on understanding the full human cost of war. Topics include:

    • Unit 731 and biological warfare
    • Human experimentation during WWII
    • Generational trauma and epigenetics
    • The politics of historical memory
    • How war crimes still shape Asia-Pacific relations
    • Why erasing history creates future conflict Some stories are uncomfortable. But forgetting them is far more dangerous.
