“Combat’s not all that fun sometimes.”

In this episode, we speak with Army veteran and Green Beret, Mr. Chuck Ritter. We discuss how $70k in credit card fraud landed him in the infantry, why you should always inspect your equipment, the importance of planning, why you should be selfish sometimes, his non-negotiable principles, the meaning of an old Greek word and missing mop buckets?

In the Free Fire Area, we determine the nicknames of two former US presidents. How the turntables have turned.

“I had to prioritize my trauma.”

In this episode, we speak with Air Force veteran Mrs. Jessica Guidone.

In the Free Fire Area, we ruminate over a world where the Third Reich didn’t betray the USSR.
