Without even trying, Danny and I spent the episode discussing numerous topics where others have gone to great lengths to mask the truth. Whether rumors of John McCain’s military prowess, discussing an anonymous op-ed from within the White House, or analyzing a set of boilerplate articles on women in combat arms, it’s all about making something seem different when all the while, they were lying their asses off. The sad truth is that these deceptions get passed around by ordinary Americans without question. For your listening pleasure, here’s some illumination.
00:39 – Danny’s recent post on John McCain
14:53 – Anonymous op-ed from a “senior White House official”
27:14 – Popularmilitary.com article on investigation involving female infantry soldier
44:24 – Approaching milestone of next generation serving in Afghanistan
58:08 – Danny ‘celebrates’ his first Twitter troll
A ‘Maverick,’ Revisited – TIM DICKINSON – Rolling Stone
I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration – New York Times

We’re back!!! After a few sweltering summer weeks, Danny and I are back. We’ve got a lot of stuff coming up!!! Next Friday, we have our episode on moral injury, including the Warax, Tyson Manker, and Chaplain Josh Morris. It’s an intense but needed discussion on today’s troops dealing with the moral leanings of their decisions and the decisions of our government. Next, we and Roomofrequirement, a political podcast, will be doing a joint episode with their hosts. Veterans and civilians need to spend more time face to face, discussing issues important to the military and important to the country, so this is us doing our teen tiny part. And last on the upcoming stuff for this week, but certainly not least, our next major breakdown will be released on September 6 when we’ll discuss September 11, 2001. Its history, its myths, its bearing on our national security state, and how it affected us personally.
On the hot seat for today, first we discuss the recent bombing in Yemen, which killed a multitude of small children. Next, we discuss recent developments with the Pentagon, as it continues to stonewall reporters asking basic defense questions and even retaliate against some of them for what it considers to be unfavorable headlines. Then, we discuss a terrifying development involving TomDispatch and the Department of Defense. Lastly, Danny gives us the scoop on his time at the About Face convention.

Ep 17.0 – US drone warfare

Drones are quickly becoming a crucial part of many US military and government toolboxes in order to deal with specialized situations. This morning, I saw that the FAA granted a special exemption to allow drones to help fight massive forest fires happening in Idaho. Police departments are using drones for building searches and crisis situations at a minimum. And our military uses drones for a wide variety of functions, not the least of which is to be used as an instrument of assassination.
Something important to remember here is that not all drones are armed. One surveillance drone, Global Hawk, surveillance drone, has a 150 ft wingspan and is half the size of a 747. It can fly at much higher altitudes and can fly longer than most armed drones. The kinds of intelligence it gathers are certainly magnitudes of order above armed drones or small surveillance drones. Do we believe it’s acceptable to share this kind of intelligence with our foreign partners? Should the info a Global Hawk gets from surveilling Yemen be given to the SA government for us in their proxy war against the Houthti’s? Should surveillance of Syria and Palestine be given to Israel? These are important questions in this discussion.
Danny and I bring you our breakdown of drone warfare. We’ll be taking a break for the next few weeks from the podcast to attend the About Face – Veterans Against the War convention and create some new content to share with you. See you soon!!

It’s been sixteen years since I sat in a recruiter’s office. I remember visiting there many times (even after I was signed up to join) and asked all kinds of questions. What was basic training like? How was the food? Did they like their non-recruiter MOS? Did I have to make that MANY trips to MEPS (Military Entrance Processing Station – Super boring)? I heard a lot about Army values, doing PT (physical training) until you puke, being yelled at by drill sergeants, and a tid bit about deployments, but looking back on my six years in service, the recruiters shared very little real information. I didn’t hear about deaths in training accidents, moving heavy equipment by hand from one place to another OVER AND OVER AND OVER, blowing out your knees from heavy running, getting odd diseases that are both rare and debilitating, and sharing an 80 sq ft room with another guy who seems to have soap aversion issues.
Recruiters are the car salesmen of the US military and by their very nature, they water down much of the downsides in what they’re selling. But when a teenager is trying to decide whether to enlist or a parent is asking questions about their child’s future, should this be one of those times to have some actual ‘truth in advertising?’
00:37 – Danny’s breakdown of ‘12 Strong’
10:21 – Tactics and methods of US military recruiters
30:41 – Nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for US Supreme Court
