Military veterans are emerging from the pandemic into a new world in 2021, and a lot has changed -- some things decidedly for the better. On this episode, host Hope Hodge Seck is joined by Air Force veteran Blake Stilwell of Military.com and Marine Corps veteran Jeff Daly of the American Legion's Tango Alpha Lima podcast to discuss the five things that every veterans should know about in 2021 -- and how the world is beginning to see military veterans and their potential in a different light. Editor's Note: Since this episode was recorded, a new law passed allowing all veterans and spouses to receive the COVID-19 vaccine through the VA.

Dale Dye has been an adviser on many of the generation's most iconic military films and shows -- from Platoon to Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers. But he didn't grow up in showbiz. He's a retired Marine who decided that the movies he saw weren't doing right by America's service members, and he decided to do something about it. On this episode, host Hope Hodge Seck and Military.com writer Blake Stilwell ask Dale Dye about the worst military movie he's ever seen, his thoughts on Space Force and his advice for other veterans who want to make a career in showbiz.

“Beyond Belief” is a unique compilation of short stories by a team of a dozen authors and researchers. Herein you will find some of the most amazing stories ever told, each of them presented in an historically factual manner without hyperbole or literary license. Even more amazing is the fact that each of these stories is TRUE! These are the stories that will leave you shaking your head in disbelief, proving as one author once wrote, “Truth is not only stranger than fiction, but far more interesting.”

Today we're tackling a beloved piece of military culture: the myths, rumors and legends that get passed down from generation to generation of service members, and sometimes are even taught as history -- whether or not they actually happened. To do that, Military.com managing editor Hope Hodge Seck sat down with a colleague and personal friend, who for years was known to readers of Stars and Stripes by another title: The Rumor Doctor. Jeff Schogol is one of the most beloved faces in the Pentagon press corps. Unless, that is, you're an official behind the lectern in the briefing room and he has a question for you. In his 13 years covering the military, he has reported on military operations in Iraq, Haiti and other locations, and has never shied away from asking the tough questions the public really wants to know. Such as, what will the Space Force anthem be? What's really going on with those Navy UFO videos? And where the heck is the secret fighter pilot bar in the Pentagon? Visit Military.com for more news and information about the military community.

Welcome to the first episode of Military.com's new podcast, Left of Boom. I'm Hope Hodge Seck, managing editor for news. Every day, our reporting team is out there covering the news affecting the military community. But we felt we wanted a place to go deeper on the topics you care about, and to let you hear directly from the legends and trailblazers and changemakers who have left their mark on the military. So that's what we'll do. In this our first episode we'll talk to Joe Galloway, a war correspondent whose coverage of the Vietnam War helped shape how we remember and understand it. His book about the Battle of Ia Drang inspired the 2002 blockbuster We Were Soldiers, and he has been portrayed in film by no fewer than three A-list actors. Much more impressively, he's the only civilian to ever receive the Bronze Star for combat valor for heroism in Vietnam from the Army. Now he has a really special new book out, They Were Soldiers, about the incredible lives of various people who served in Vietnam. Be sure to visit Military.com for more of the news and information you need about the military community.

For two decades, Military.com has reported on the flash points, crises and catalysts that shape U.S. defense policy, and the decisions that affect the lives of men and women in uniform. Now, we’re going deeper. In our new podcast, Left of Boom, we’ll talk to the legends and pathfinders who made U.S. military history; get the ground truth on military myths, rumors and legends; and decode the big ideas shaping the military of the future -- from “Iron Man” suits and pilotless planes to Arctic power-struggles and island-hopping in the Pacific. Join me, Hope Hodge Seck, managing editor of Military.com, as together we get Left of Boom: understanding military issues before they make the news.

Jerry Hendrix, vice president of the Telemus Group, discusses what could be in the new U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy, and the makeup of the 355-ship fleet. Former Special Forces officer Col. Frank Sobchak (USA, Ret.) discusses the lessons the Army can learn from the Iraq War, and what it means for the future of counterinsurgency operations. Megan Eckstein, deputy editor of USNI News, and Hope Hodge Seck, managing editor of Military.com, discuss the confirmation hearing for new Navy and Marine Corps leadership, and what they can tell us about the future of the branches.
