Podcasts about combat veterans

Alex Scheel is a combat veteran, organizer, Democratic Socialist, and candidate for Congress in Washington's 10th Congressional District.Alex was a late addition to this episode, and I'm glad we had the opportunity to talk.In this conversation, Alex shares how his experiences serving in Army intelligence and deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan changed the way he understood war. He talks about one experience in particular, sitting across from a young Iraqi man and hearing how the war had affected his family and his life. Alex says those experiences eventually helped lead him from soldier to anti-war activist. We also talk about his work with the Democratic Socialists of America, organizing around housing and workers' rights, and what democratic socialism actually means to him. Alex doesn't shy away from some of the bigger issues either. We get into Medicare for All, housing affordability, U.S. military spending, Israel and Gaza, and why ending U.S. involvement in overseas wars is such a major part of his campaign. The conversation also gets personal. We talk about mental health, loss, and why politics ultimately affects real people and real families. Alex shares the loss of his sister to an overdose and his best friend to suicide, and why those experiences matter to him. I'm looking forward to learning more about Alex's journey, especially how he went from serving in the military to becoming an organizer and activist.This conversation is not an endorsement of Alex Scheel or his campaign. On The Record™ gives candidates an opportunity to share their stories, positions, and perspectives in their own words.Listen to Leaders Lead Podcast on all major podcast platforms.#OnTheRecord #AlexScheel #WA10 #WashingtonPolitics #Congress #Veterans #AntiWar #DemocraticSocialism #LeadersLeadPodcast

EP.644Korey Rowe is a former U.S. Army soldier, filmmaker, author, and public speaker whose story spans military service, post-9/11 controversy, personal hardship, and recovery. Widely known as a producer of the viral documentary Loose Change, he has spent much of his life asking difficult questions about war, government accountability, and the lasting human cost of the post-9/11 era.After serving in Afghanistan and Iraq, Rowe brought a firsthand perspective to the national conversation surrounding the wars that followed September 11. His work has explored intelligence failures, the experiences of veterans and first responders, and the need for transparency when governments make decisions that reshape and sometimes devastate individual lives and entire communities.But Rowe's story is also deeply personal. Beyond his public work, he has spoken candidly about navigating PTSD, addiction, and the long path back from some of the darkest chapters of his life. That honesty gives his message a human dimension: this is not simply a story about politics or media, but about resilience, reckoning, and the search for truth after trauma.Through interviews, filmmaking, and his memoir, The Soldier That Left, Korey Rowe continues to challenge audiences to look beyond headlines, question comfortable narratives, and consider what accountability truly means for leaders, institutions, veterans, and the public.

Was 9/11 an Inside Job? A Combat Veteran Examines the Evidence with Korey Rowe Was 9/11 an inside job? Combat veteran Korey Rowe examines the evidence, government warnings, intelligence failures, WTC 7, Loose Change, and the unanswered questions surrounding September 11. Rather than reducing the story to a simple conspiracy claim, this conversation examines what is documented, what remains disputed, and what we can learn from 9/11. 9/11 evidence, 9/11 investigation, WTC 7, Loose Change, Korey Rowe, 9/11 unanswered questions, government accountability, Iraq War In this episode of Eyes Wide Open with Nick Thompson, Nick sits down with Korey Row, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq and later became the creator and producer of the documentary Loose Change and author of The Soldier That Left: The Untold Story of Loose Change. The conversation explores 9/11, the Iraq War, government warnings, intelligence failures, unanswered questions, media narratives, accountability, and the long-term impact of war. Korey shares his personal journey from joining the Army before 9/11 to being deployed to Afghanistan, later serving in Iraq, questioning the intelligence behind the Iraq invasion, going AWOL, and eventually working with Dylan Avery on Loose Change. The conversation also examines: • What Korey experienced after 9/11 • Why his perspective changed during the Iraq War • Government warnings before 9/11 • Intelligence and accountability after 9/11 • Why the phrase "inside job" may be too simplistic • The unanswered questions surrounding 9/11 • Building 7 and the continuing debate surrounding the official explanation • The history and impact of Loose Change • How media narratives shape public opinion • Political polarization and confirmation bias • Free speech and censorship • What society can learn from 9/11 • Education, critical thinking and teaching the next generation • The lessons Korey believes we should carry forward Korey argues that the important question is not simply whether someone accepts a particular 9/11 theory, but whether people are willing to examine the available record, documented failures and unanswered questions. He also discusses the broader lesson he took from the experience: that ordinary people can influence major conversations when they have enough passion, persistence and conviction. This episode is a conversation about 9/11, war, government accountability, media, critical thinking and the importance of asking difficult questions. Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself. Our Guest  Korey Rowe is a US Army combat veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, serving tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He is an entrepreneur, author, and the filmmaker behind the historic documentary Loose Change. His new memoir, The Soldier That Left: The Untold Story of Loose Change, chronicles his military journey, the anti-war movement, and institutional deception.   Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication.

Good Morning, Vietnam is entertaining. But art, in this case, is a thin imitation of real life. For six months in 1967, John Bagwell was an Armed Forces Vietnam Network disc jockey, playing rock and roll to the First Cavalry Division out of a bunker in An Khe. He'll tell you it was the best job in Vietnam — until it wasn't. This 104-pound deejay came home with a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with a V for valor.

USAF combat veteran, entrepreneur and technology investor Rob Cunningham returns to Michael Jaco with a direct message for President Donald Trump: America can win the AI race—but first, we have to make sure the machines can never take authority they were never given. Cunningham, a former Air Force pilot who flew combat missions during Desert Storm, has publicly offered to serve in an unpaid advisory capacity in support of President Trump's goal of making America the world leader in artificial intelligence. And he says he isn't coming empty-handed. Rob lays out a patented information-physics protocol that he says could fundamentally change how America approaches AI security by separating the enormous computational capabilities of AI and quantum systems from the authority to make sovereign decisions. His principle is simple: Govern the machine. Never allow the machine to govern us. Rob warns that without a new approach, America could enter a perpetual AI-versus-AI arms race requiring ever-larger data centers, enormous amounts of energy, escalating cybersecurity infrastructure and increasingly sophisticated autonomous agents trying to defeat one another. The stakes extend far beyond ChatGPT or consumer technology. Michael and Rob discuss the potential impact of autonomous AI across defense, intelligence, banking, cryptocurrency, energy, communications, supply chains, air traffic control, critical infrastructure, robotics and national security. Rob argues that America should establish the rules of engagement underneath AI itself—creating a sovereignty layer where computational power can continue advancing while unauthorized agency remains off limits. And he's challenging the government to test it. Rob says NIST, DARPA, the FBI, MIT, Caltech or America's highest-level national security teams should independently validate the technology, red-team it and determine whether his claims stand up. If it works, Rob believes the implications could be enormous—not simply for cybersecurity, but for America's ability to become the AI, crypto, energy and manufacturing capital of the world. Michael asks Rob directly what he would say if President Trump invited him to Mar-a-Lago and gave him the opportunity to make his case. His answer sets up the heart of this episode: Test it. Try to break it. Validate it. Then decide whether America should make it the standard. The AI revolution isn't coming someday. It's already here—and Rob Cunningham believes America has an opportunity to define the architecture that governs it before someone else does. The country that establishes sovereignty in the AI era won't simply compete in the AI race. It could define the rules under which that race is run. Wakey Wakey America. Stay informed. Stay sovereign. Stay in the love vibrations. Connect with Michael Jaco Stay connected with Michael for the latest shows, intel, wellness resources, courses, events and more.

Send us Fan MailMy guest on the show today, Mary Howe, is an Air Force veteran and daughter of a military legacy family.  Mary's mom is a retired Army Major; her father, Master Sgt. Paul Howe was in Delta and was in the Battle of Mogadishu, which later became the source of the movie Blackhawk Down. Her grandfather was Lt. Col. Charles Beckwith, the founder of Delta Force. To say that her family has a history of service at the highest levels would be an understatement.A bit about Mary. Mary Howe is a former Air Force Special Operations AC-130U aerial gunner turned Family Nurse Practitioner, now working in veteran disability medicine. Her work sits at the intersection of service, identity, and personal responsibility—shaped by a life spent in high-performance environments and a refusal to let performance define her worth.She is the writer behind Unfinished Business, a body of work that documents growth in real time, without the polish or the illusion of having it all figured out. Her perspective challenges the habit of outsourcing direction, calling people back to internal leadership, self-trust, and the work that happens long before anything looks successful from the outside.Her background spans military service, medicine, and a lineage rooted in Special Operations, but her focus now is simple: helping people think better, take ownership, and build something internally that doesn't collapse when circumstances change.It was an honor and joy chatting with Mary. Please enjoy my conversation with someone who is truly inspirational.In today's episode, we discuss:·      Her mom, Connie, was a Major in the Army. Her dad, Master Sgt. Paul Howe was Delta and was in the Battle of Mogadishu, and Grandpa was Lt. Col. Charles Beckwith, the founder of Delta Force.·      The differences in Delta, SF, Ranger Regiment, Ranger Tab, SEALS, PJ's: Delta is now called Combat Applications Group (CAG).·      A group of PJs was on the coast of Florida that saved 11 people who had to ditch their plane in the ocean. They had about 5 minutes of fuel before they had to go back to base.·      Growing up in a military legacy family, what was the talk like around the dinner table?·      Her rebellious stage growing up. What did that look like and how did her parents deal with that? ·      Growing up in a strict home. Were her parents bouncing quarters off her bed?·      Not realizing the gravity of her father's service until she read the book Blackhawk Down. ·      Her father's thoughts regarding the book and movie Blackhawk Down after he lived it.·      SERE training.·      Being a gunner on an AC-130U and her being deployed in four separate combat missions.·      Post-military life. Becoming a Nurse Practitioner and continuing to be of service.All of this and more on today's episode of the Cops and Writers podcast.Check out Mary's website!Head on over to my website!What's the craziest thing you saw when you were a cop?My first week on the job, a guy running at me with a butcher knife.

The Gore of Battle and the Sanctity of the Dead. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The Iliad features vivid and gory battle scenes that Wilson rendered by consulting with combat veterans to understand the visceral nature of death. Homeremphasizes the specific details of how each man dies, often juxtaposing the brutality of a spear through an eyeball with beautiful similes from the natural world. A major theme is the treatment of the dead; the poem views the corpse as the person, requiring those who loved the warrior to wash, wrap, and lament him. Entire books are dedicated to the struggle of reclaiming a fallen comrade's body, as desecrating a corpse is seen as the ultimate victory over an enemy. Stripping the armor from a victim serves as both an economic prize and a symbol of total dominance. While the gods like Poseidon and Hera intervene to support the Greeks, they also remain distinct from mortals by "bleeding" a substance called ichor. These divine and human elements culminate in the pivotal death of Patroclus, which shifts the direction of the entire war. 6

First Woman Thunderbird Pilot, Combat Veteran, White House Adviser & Voice of Resurgence. Nicole Malachowski is one of the most compelling leadership voices on today's stage. A retired U.S. Air Force Colonel, combat veteran, and the first woman pilot to fly with the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, she has lived a life defined by challenge, responsibility, and bold decisions. From leading fighter formations in combat to advising at the highest levels of the White House, Nicole understands what it means to perform when the stakes are real. When a devastating neurological tick-borne illness abruptly ended her flying career and left her unable to walk or speak for months, she was forced to redefine strength itself. Her story is not about bouncing back. It is about becoming resurgent and choosing growth when the path forward is uncertain.Support the show

  Purpose of the episode: Jeff Krajnak, a combat veteran, shares how medical cannabis helped him reduce opioid dependency and how THC metabolite laws led to criminal charges despite no impairment. Military service with the Navy Seabees and SEAL teams in Iraq and Afghanistan left Jeff with severe PTSD, fibromyalgia, and ankylosing spondylitis, resulting in a medical discharge in December 2013. Post-discharge, Jeff was consuming 11 opioid and psychiatric pills daily, drinking a bottle of vodka a day, and described himself as detached, suicidal, and hospitalized in a psych ward for eight days. Switching to medical cannabis — an indica strain for sleep and a CBD cream for pain — allowed Jeff to reduce from 11 pills to just one, and eventually quit opioids entirely. A 2017 car accident occurred when another driver ran a red light; Jeff and his son were uninjured, he cooperated with police, passed three field sobriety tests, and showed no signs of impairment. Despite every officer on scene testifying he was not impaired, Jeff was arrested 32 days later by a SWAT team due to THC metabolites in his blood — 4 nanograms active, 40 nanograms metabolite — exceeding Nevada's 2-nanogram legal limit. Charges included two felony B counts — felony DUI resulting in death and felony child neglect — carrying a potential 16–20 year prison sentence. Jeff accepted an Alford plea to felony reckless driving and misdemeanor DUI; the judge acknowledged he was not impaired but stated the law left her no choice. Probation terms banned cannabis use, forcing Jeff back onto 22 pills daily — highlighting the legal contradiction that allows high-dose opioid use while prohibiting medical cannabis. Nevada's 2-nanogram THC limit dates to 1999 and is based on a 1986–87 study measuring residual THC in reckless drivers' urine — not impairment — making it scientifically unsound. THC can remain in blood for weeks in chronic users, and up to 90 days depending on testing method and consumption type, meaning the legal limit bears no relationship to actual impairment. Other states apply higher or more flexible standards — California, Washington, and Colorado allow 5 nanograms with rebuttal options, and Michigan does not prosecute medical patients — contrasting sharply with Nevada's near-zero-tolerance approach. Jeff advocates for impairment-based DUI laws rather than residual THC thresholds, arguing that trained Drug Recognition Experts can assess actual impairment without relying on metabolite levels. As president of the Coalition for Patient Rights, Jeff is pushing for federal cannabis de-scheduling — arguing Schedule 3 is insufficient — and working with NORML, MPP, and other organizations to advance legislative reform.

Is the U.S. military being transformed from a warfighting institution into something political and ideological? In this explosive episode, Dr. Chase Spears joins Michael Jaco for a powerful discussion on what he believes is the growing ideological capture of the United States military and the dangerous long-term consequences for national readiness, constitutional accountability, and the future of America itself. A combat veteran, paratrooper, and retired U.S. Army Major with 20 years of service, Dr. Spears brings firsthand experience from inside the military communication and leadership structure. After turning down promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, Spears chose to leave the institution rather than remain constrained by what he describes as increasing political and cultural restrictions placed on military communicators and service members. The conversation dives into: Progressive ideological influence within military leadership DEI policies and their impact on readiness and morale COVID vaccine mandates and the removal of service members The myth of the “apolitical military” and suppression of dissenting voices Psychological warfare, propaganda, and information control Recruiting crises and declining public trust in military institutions Constitutional accountability and the rights of service members The growing politicization of the armed forces Dr. Spears explains how many service members increasingly feel pressured to remain silent about political and institutional realities affecting the military from within. According to him, the weaponization of “professionalism” and “apolitical conduct” has often been used selectively to suppress constitutional concerns and conservative viewpoints while enabling ideological activism inside the ranks. The discussion also explores how modern warfare is evolving beyond traditional combat and into the realm of narrative warfare, perception management, digital influence, and psychological operations. As trust in institutions continues to erode, Dr. Spears argues that accountability, transparency, and constitutional principles are more important now than ever before. This episode provides a rare insider perspective from someone who spent decades inside the military system and is now openly speaking about the challenges, contradictions, and cultural shifts he witnessed firsthand.

Shannon Book grew up in the Kentucky hills, joined the Navy in the mid-1990s and spent 17 years as a Fleet Marine Force corpsman, including two tours in Iraq. He survived Fallujah running on coffee grounds and sheer grit. What nearly broke him came after. When he was medically retired in 2010, the brothers he counted on had moved on, his marriage dissolved, and a years-long battle with alcohol and drugs nearly cost him everything. What kept him going — then and now — is music.On this episode of Tango Alpha Lima, Book opens up about founding the veteran band Vetted, the dark night he pressed a handgun to his own forehead, the DUI that became his turning point, and the Veterans Court system that helped him walk out of that dark alley one step at a time. He's now sober, back in the studio, and sharing the message he once gave others from a stage — this time from a place of hard-earned experience.Also on this episode: why traditional field screenings miss TBIs in combat zones — and the surprising food that became a secret weapon for fighter pilots.Your stories.

From Navy SEAL to Venture Builder:Nuri Golan on Turning Elite Operators into Elite EntrepreneursIn this week's Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus and Melanie are joined by Nuri Golan, a man who proves that elite performance doesn't end when the uniform comes off — it evolves.A Veteran and Officer in the Israeli Navy SEALs, Nuri transitioned from high-stakes maritime operations to high-impact venture creation. Today, he is a serial entrepreneur, startup advisor, investor, and Managing Partner of Vetted — a powerful platform helping combat veterans build world-class companies.In this episode, Nuri shares how the mindset forged in special operations becomes a competitive advantage in the startup arena.Building & Exiting Multiple CompaniesNuri's entrepreneurial track record is nothing short of remarkable:·         Co-Founder & CEO of EXO Technologies (acquired by Lear Corporation)·         Co-Founder of Navmatic (acquired by Superpedestrian)·         Co-Founder of SosivioAfter EXO's acquisition, Nuri went on to lead Lear's corporate venture arm — investing in startups and venture funds, gaining firsthand insight into what separates promising founders from scalable operators.He brings a rare perspective: he's been the founder, the acquirer, and the investor.Vetted: Unlocking the Entrepreneurial Power of Combat VeteransToday, Nuri serves as Managing Partner of Vetted — an education, acceleration, and investment platform designed specifically for combat veterans from the U.S. and Israel.Through:·         The Vetted Startup Accelerator·         The Alpha-Bet Entrepreneurship ProgramVetted equips veterans with:·         Hands-on mentorship·         Early-stage funding·         Tactical business education·         A powerful cross-border founder & investor networkThe mission is clear: transform operational excellence into entrepreneurial success.Bridging Two Innovation PowerhousesAs an Israeli-American, Nuri is passionate about strengthening collaboration between U.S. and Israeli veteran communities — two ecosystems known for innovation, resilience, and leadership.He believes elite combat veterans represent one of the most untapped entrepreneurial resources in the world — disciplined, decisive, mission-driven leaders ready to build companies that matter.This conversation with Nuri Golan delivers powerful insight from someone who has operated — and succeeded — at the highest levels. In this episode you will hear:• By the time he was 19 or 20 [my grandfather] had already graduated from college and was in the U.S. Army. (8:31)• You don't have to precheck in Israel because it's mandatory service for Israeli's. (9:25)• We saw our family with tattoos on their arms from death camps and concentration camps they were sent to. (19:19)• In Israel, all of our officers are “Mustangs.” (Prior enlisted and then cross over to become officers) (26:51)• In Israel, you don't really have a lot of senior enlisted guys, especially operators. The most senior guys – the ones with the most experience – are officers. (30:11)Israeli Arabs, who are Israeli citizens, don't have to serve. Ulta orthodox Jews are also exempt from service. (31:44)• [Marcus] Do something for your people. (37:01)• I really wanted to help create a program to help show them [combat veterans] how to utilize the skills they got from their military training and service in the business world, because I realized that a lot of the skills that I got from the military is what helped me become a successful entrepreneur.0 (40:46)• Our program is open to all combat veterans from U.S and Israel. We also started an entrepreneurship school.0 (43:53)• Hamas operators don't walk around with rifles. (57:51)• Their command centers are all under Mosques and hospitals by design. (58:37)• There's always conflict so you'll go to Tel-Aviv in the middle of the war and you'll still see people on the beach playing volleyball, and out at restaurants. We have to continue to go on. That's how you fight terrorism. (61:36)• Israel is one of the most important partners that the United States has in the global landscape.

Trump Insults Allied Troops, Rod Stewart, Prince Harry and Combat Veterans and Gold Star Families Across Europe, UK, NATO. Bonus Clip: Rieckhoff on CNN with Erin Burnett OutFront  Independent Americans host and Iraq War veteran Paul Rieckhoff jumps on the mic from a school stairwell in New York City to react to breaking news: another deadly ICE shooting of a 37-year-old American in Minneapolis. He explains why this tragedy was both preventable and predictable, why ICE's culture has become “rotten to the core,” and how Trump's toxic leadership is pouring gasoline on an already explosive situation in cities across America. Paul breaks down the looming threat of the Insurrection Act, the possibility of deploying the 11th Airborne Corps into American streets, and why this is a “circuit breaker” moment that demands calm, peaceful, vigilant engagement from independent Americans everywhere.​ From there, Paul widens the lens to the global stage, speaking directly as a combat veteran to NATO vets and allies after Trump's latest insult to foreign troops who fought and died alongside Americans from World War II through Afghanistan. He reads raw, emotional messages from veterans in places like the Netherlands and Australia, highlighting the outrage and hurt felt by those who bled on the front lines only to be dismissed by a president who never served. Paul makes clear that Trump does not speak for most Americans—or most American veterans—and that many in the United States still stand shoulder to shoulder with their allies: never above, never below, always side by side.​ As a bonus, the episode features a powerful clip from Paul's appearance on CNN's Out Front with Erin Burnett and S.E. Cupp, where he calls Trump “President Mayhem” and lays out how his chaos, tariff threats and fixation on Greenland are shredding America's reputation as “the good guys” and giving Putin another great week. It's a fast, urgent, independent analysis designed to keep you ahead of the curve and grounded in values: country over party, people over politics, light over heat. If you're looking for a clear-eyed perspective, a way to channel your anger into lawful action, and a reminder that you're not alone, this special bonus pod will help you stay calm, stay engaged and stay vigilant. Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.

THE GORE AND GLORY OF BATTLE Colleague Professor Emily Wilson. Wilson discusses translating the Iliad'svivid violence, drawing on insights from combat veterans regarding the trauma of battlefield death. A central theme is the treatment of corpses; possessing and stripping a dead enemy's armor is the ultimate sign of dominance. The conversation touches on the physical nature of the gods, who bleed "ichor" when wounded, and Poseidon's support for the Greeks in contrast to his brother Zeus. NUMBER 6 500 AD. ACHILLES TENT.
