The Combat Divas Podcast

The Combat Divas discuss cases in which powerful people elude the truth. The Hosts start out discussing NFL Quarterback Deshaun Watson and his case where 20 plus women accused him of sexual misconduct. From the facts of that case, Tonnisha B and TG get into how they've seen similar actions in the military. The better Soldier they are, they harder it is for someone to believe a victim.
