  • Just one complaint

    I love this podcast, so I’m still leaving 5 stars with my grievance. The boys should have done a deep dive on the Tim Kennedy saga before talking about it. The information is out there, and easy to find. TK lied about way more than a bronze w/ V device.

Tim Kennedy is a chronic liar, and a dirt bag. Go watch the episodes from the Antih... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 306 - I Do Believe In Spooks
Q: How did you determine the ones who were bad actors as opposed to the ones who were legit?
Brewer described that they didn't need to ask questions as the local citizens would openly approach them to provide intel, showing their desire not to return to the bad old days post-Noriega.
Ep 306 - I Do Believe In Spooks
Q: What is better? Would you stay the enlisted route or is it better to go the officer route?
Brewer expresses satisfaction with having done both, stating that higher ranks come with less field time and more administrative tasks, suggesting that going both routes can be ideal for comprehensive experience.
Ep 303 - Rangers Lead The Way
Q: What can you tell new members about joining the military?
Hard work and perseverance are key; anyone can succeed in the military if they want it.
Ep 297 - The Worst Most Important Assignment
Q: Can you say what some of those proactive steps that you take are?
Dillon mentions seeing a clinical psychologist who specializes in law enforcement resilience and emphasizes the importance of mental health care.
Ep 293 - Iraq Was No Vacation
Q: What allowed you to move forward after your deployment?
I believe that you can use horrible experiences to either cripple you or propel you forward to achieve success, focusing on small goals for progress.
