Many Americans just assume vets always vote for the candidate who talks toughest about national defense, or offers strong positions on policies related to terrorism. While in some cases that may be true, the biggest question this year is still quite simple- Do vets favor Trump or Harris? A recent survey of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) members, offers an interesting glimpse at where this group stands, just days before the election.IAVA, CEO, and Army veteran Allison Jaslow reveals the survey results and shares how the survey breaks across categories like gender.The survey also tells a unique story about IAVA members, who are younger than other veteran groups, and after their service in Iraq/Afghanistan have often done the heaviest lifting during the Global War on Terrorism.More from IAVA here:https://iava.org/Check out Connecting Vets for more military news and veteran stories:https://www.audacy.com/connectingvetsConnect with CBS Eye on Veterans, Host, Phil Briggsphil@connectingvets.comFollow:@philbriggsVet@connectingvets See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Brandon is too old and corrupt he needs to drop out of the race along with traitor Trump then we can elect a real president!!!!Biden and Netanyahu have their eyes set on the gas Fields outside of Gaza that's why they are carrying out genocide. Both are unfit candidates one is a traitor the other is a war criminal who dragged us into genocide and illegal wars of aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan and accepted 11 million from aipac Israel's lobby which means he is doing their bidding. Both are old and corrupt and nobody wants to vote for them REOPEN NOMINATIONSWhy hasn't Brandon expanded the courts or even imposed term limits or even picked up a phone and told these people to resign after they lied to get nominated to the highest court in the land!!!! They must be removed. We must get rid of six activist maga judges on the Supreme court! They are corrupt, accepted millions in unreported gifts which is a crime! everybody report them to the IRS - use form3949 - A so they should be removed for tax fraud they should also be removed for perjuring themselves that Roe v Wade was settled law!

The Church of Rome don't want you to hear this! Book of Enoch is very important gospel left out because it deals with things like basically the first recorded description of an alien abduction! LOL basically Enoch is picked up by some extraterrestrials brought into the heavens he sees how heaven is set up and he describes it! He describes archangels and fallen Angels awaiting trial! He describes a lot of things that the church doesn't want us to talk about or be aware of. For this reason the book of Enoch only a part of the Ethiopian Bible, even though he is mentioned in the Bible. It is said in other research I've done on this podcast that Enoch is also known as metatron, and Hermes trismagistus. The stakes are high! God bless #tedlieu ! Everybody should be calling the justice department 202-514-2000 and demanding why six justices have not been charged with perjury yet?????? They lied about Roe v Wade they lied about immunity and said no man was above the law!!!! I'm not! He should f** definitely drop out of the race he's a war criminal duh dragged us into genocide just like he dragged us into Iraq Afghanistan and dragging out this Ukraine conflict when all he has to do is refer Putin to the international criminal court! Old grandpa Brandon knows he is a war criminal! That's not to say that we should all be calling on BOTH CANDIDATES TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE SO WE CAN GET A REAL PRESIDENT!!!!! Robert Reich is always the voice of reason! I'd really appreciate you, professor! One of my favorite Berkeley professors :-) when I'm president he shall be in my administration he did a great job before, and I would see which position he would like to serve in! And put him on a short list for that or even just let him choose whatever f* position he wants in my administration Everybody should be tagging all the media and asking this question!!!! TELL BOTH CANDIDATES TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE AND REOPEN NOMINATIONS IT'S ONLY FAIR AFTER ALLTHE S*** THEY PUT US THROUGH!!! Come on Jess you are just trying to suck up to the powers that be in the corporate democratic party structure so you can move up the ladder. Look at the best interest of America! I don't have a following at all help help I'm being suppressed!- but it is critically urgent that we DUMP BOTH these corrupt as unfit candidates for president now!!!! BOTH ARE UNFIT —one is a freaking traitor and serial child r@pist and fraudster etc etc and the other is a war criminal! Biden dragged us into genocide, bypassed Congress to support war criminal Netanyahu! Stop propping up biden he can't even prop himself up he's too f** old and dementia out even step Annapolis doesn't think he will last another 4 years! So get another f* candidate Democrats Jesus the stakes are too high and Biden is barely beating this monster in the polls??? Duh

Kind of an electric eclectic show but there's some important stuff in here! One, book of Life sandalfun9 talks about what the Antichrist is supposed to look like and why the US and the zionists want Israel Gaza annihilated! It's because they want to rebuild the Temple of Solomon, which is huge it takes up the entire Gaza, he said. The Antichrist who will come and set up in that Temple to have light skin, reddish hair and be "fruity", walk with a twitch. There are very long silences in this session because poor guy had just read for like 5 hours! LOL and he was kind of getting tired but well worth the wait just fast forward a little bit! I'll have to get his cash app so people can denote donate to him he his content is really fascinating! I have covered many many many hours of his epic live sessions before on this podcast so go ahead and do a search if you're a fan! gofund.me/10543a02 We need to impeach six justices 200 traitors in Congress and old stinky diaper Donald himself! He can be the first president impeached after he left office! Congress needs to start impeachment proceedings right now!!!!!

In this second half of our interview with retired U.S. Navy SEAL Mark Greene, we will focus on Lt. Greene's deployments - first to Iraq and then to Afghanistan.And he discusses his work helping veterans transition from the military back into civilian life.Greene shares what sound was so common in Iraq that it served as an alarm clock just about every day. He also details the role his SEAL team played on that deployment.Greene also takes us along on multiple deployments to Afghanistan. He explains why he really couldn't put his sniper skills to use there and what it was like operating in Afghan villages. He also tells us about the firefight there that he describes as "mayhem."Finally, Greene tells us about his very difficult transition to civilian life, what helped to set him on the right path, and how he is helping other veterans thrive after leaving the military.

Mark Greene grew up in a military family but his dream was to play quarterback. And he was doing well until an injury suddenly ended his career in college. After half-heartedly (at best) trying to finish college and taking other jobs, he and a friend joined the U.S. Navy with dreams of becoming Navy SEALs.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Lt. Greene discusses how he wound up in the Navy, how he struggled mightily to meet the qualifications to attend BUD/s training, and the physical and mental challenges of the six month gauntlet of becoming a SEAL.Greene also takes us with him to sniper school - from the random way he got the assignment to the very high standards required to pass to the teamwork and quick calculations that sniper teams go through in training and in combat.You'll also hear how Greene was almost killed by falling off Navy ships on two different occasions and the unexpected challenges he faced when trying to become an officer.This is the first of two episodes featuring Lt. Greene. Please listen next week when we discuss his deployments to Iraq & Afghanistan and the work he does helping servicemembers transition from military to civilian life.

Kelly Elmlinger was a three-sport athlete in high school. She excelled in cross country, basketball, and track. After considering military service, she decided to keep playing sports at the next level, but she quickly decided college was not for her. That's when she joined the Army and became a combat medic, eventually with the 82nd Airborne Division, serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Later, she became a nurse and then a cancer patient herself. Yet even after losing a leg, Elmlinger persevered and represented the U.S. at the Paralympic Games just a few years later.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Elmlinger shares how the 9/11 attacks changed the trajectory of her military service and how her combat medic training suddenly became much more real. She also describes her service in Afghanistan, meeting and connecting with the Afghan women, and what the Afghan men thought about her.Then she explains how different and how much harder the same job was in Iraq, why there was often little combat medics could do to help, and the painstaking efforts she and her teammates took to to find some personal effect to present to the families of every fallen service member.Elmlinger then recounts her decision to become a nurse and work with wounded veterans in San Antonio and how that work helped to prepare her to be a patient there as she battled cancer in her leg. And finally, she updates us on how she became an elite adaptive sports athlete - representing the U.S. at the 2021 Summer Paralympic Games in Tokyo. And she'll do it again this summer in Paris!

'Contrary to what was widely expected at the start of the present century, the world has not seen the end of major wars, confirming that Plato was right when he wrote that “only the dead have seen the end of war.”' These lines come from a new book, just published, titled ‘Conflict: The Evolution of Warfare from 1945 to Ukraine.' The book was written by Lord Roberts, a widely respected UK author, and General Petraeus, former CIA Director and former Commander of US Central Command. In this conversation, Simon speaks to Andrew and David, who discuss some key ideas and themes from the new book. We hear their analysis on some lessons learnt after seven decades of conflict following WW2, including some reflections on the Vietnam War, Iraq/Afghanistan, and the current Ukraine conflict. Strategy, tactics, leadership, intelligence, research, new technologies and planning for the future are all discussed in this illuminating episode.

Allison Jaslow, CEO of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA) talks about key issues facing our nation's veterans, including the need for better leadership, the Afghanistan withdrawal, impact of the hold on US Military nomination in the Senate, the VA and veterans health care, and much more.

Daniel Glenn served in the United States Navy as an EOD (explosive ordinance disposal) Officer. Roughly 50% of war casualties in Iraq & Afghanistan between late 2011 & 2020 were attributed to IED's (improvised explosive devices), Daniels job was to disarm & dispose of those devices - high stakes but high reward when executed correctly. Since leaving the Navy, he completed a masters degree as a Schwarzman Scholar (the oldest person to do so at that time), broke a record for the fastest mile in an 85 pound bomb-suit & donned that same suit to complete a half marathon all to raise funds for veterans, he now works as chief of staff for fintech company GoodLeap LLC. My first meeting with Daniel was in March 2023. We shared the stage at a 3 day speaking summit in Sydney, he was the most effective speaker I had ever watched live. His story held weight & his experiences were inspiring. His life philosophy sang to the tune of 'face your fears, face your enemy (your own weakness), seek adversity, believe in yourself, hear the call to action: your life is today'. A philosophy that inspired much of our conversation, alongside the tale of his remarkable story & the ups & downs of a life that has thrust Dan into the face of danger & deep introspection on a shockingly regular basis.

Alex Harstrick, Founder and Managing Partner at J2 Ventures, leans into his experience from the Iraq/Afghanistan war to inform and fuel the next generation of technology and capabilities. Although he graduated from Columbia and Harvard, he shares that his time as an NYC EMT taught him a lot of how to be a Leader and ultimately run a VC. Spending time in the back of an ambulance teaches you extreme accountability and that one must take responsibility for their actions. Being an EMT also allowed him to meet his co-founder, Jonathan Bronson and build an enduring relationship. Alex dives into the significant impact the middle layer of any organization can make and it is the Sr. NCOs, LTs and CPTs on the battlefield that use high-levels of creativity to solve our biggest problems. The closeness to the problem makes you invaluable, but it is also the thing that can prevent others (especially the public) from seeing the value one is truly able to create. Through his time as a management consultant and intelligence officer, Alex was able to involve himself with entities like the National Security Defense Capital and KKR, that would ultimately allow him to better understand how dual-use applications can be a way for him to continue to Serve and create meaningful returns for investors. Alex believes that life is not just about measuring risk, but instead aligning your purpose with Teammates who you want to do the fun and hard things with. In the world of VC it is easy to be mired with the returns and numbers, but the "doing right" part for a world that is inherently good, is not lost on Alex and the J2 Team. Exposure to war and what's going on in our world can leave you wondering if we're going to be okay. Alex strongly believes that the world is good, but it requires Good People to get to work and keep it that way.

This week's episode features Ken Sample (Capt. USN retired). He spent a large portion of his life in service to others. Ken laughs as he tells how his drive to become a doctor very much came from his dear wife. Ken spent overwhelming time as a General Surgeon for the United States Navy. Some of this time was spent forward deployed and some of his time was stateside in places like Camp Lejeune. Ken also ran his own private practice in between reserve time and deployments. Surgeons like Ken are vital to the warfighting mission. In the Corps when a man is down on the field, we operate under a rule referred to as the “golden hour”. This means, that once self-aide, buddy-aide, and Corpsman-aide are conducted, if the Marine is wounded badly, we need him/her to a trauma unit in less than an hour. If we can accomplish this mission, the rule is that he/she will survive. There are of course exceptions to that rule. People like Ken Sample exist and operate in the gray... without these people, with these skills, our battlefield KIA numbers would not stay as low as they are. It was an honor and a pleasure to sit down with Ken and learn about a different side of war, the side of saving and giving new life to the National Treasures holding the line.

People like Ken Sample exist and operate in the gray... without these people, with these skills, our battlefield KIA numbers would not stay as low as they are. It was an honor and a pleasure to sit down with Ken and learn about a different side of war, the side of saving and giving new life to the National Treasures holding the line.

Master Sergeant Marc Arrington USMC (Retired) joins the show to talk about life. Marc is a brilliant mind and stoic in his thoughts and as kind-hearted as they come. Marc was instrumental in helping a veteran in crisis two years ago. He was new to the VFW and heard a pitch I gave to bring aid to an infantryman in need. Not knowing me well, he took a huge chance. But help came in waves after the initial talk. Marc continues to be involved in the VFW and the Veteran community. He is working in real estate with Raider Realty and helps organize the local Veterans Business Collective. Marc will absolutely be coming back to the show to chat in the future. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did, and as always, don't be selfish with the information you find valuable!

Frank Weisser entered the U.S. Naval Academy focused on becoming a Navy SEAL. But his superior officers informed hum he would be of greater value as an aviator. Working his way up to flying F/A 18 Hornets after flight school, Weisser would go on to serve in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters before joining the elite Blue Angels and, more recently, serving as one of the pilots for "Top Gun: Maverick." In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Weisser (call sign "Walleye") shares his experience providing critical close air support for U.S. ground forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, what it;s like to fly those precision maneuvers with no room for error with the Blue Angels, and what it was like to do some of the real flying for "Top Gun."

In the past 12-18 months, the Marine Corps has had some divisive remarks penned concerning the adaptation of the force. Retired Generals and warfighters have been expressing concern over the New Force Design. There are several articles bashing the new design and others that show passive-aggressive concern.  I was interested in understanding the “why” behind some of the changes, so I began to investigate the topic. I found a few articles from one of the most senior Marine Gunners currently serving. Gunner LaRose served as one of the representatives from the Marine Corps, on the Pentagon's Close Combat Lethality Task Force. While reading his works, I was impressed by the way he painted new technologies. I was going to do an episode on the information I found, but Gunner LaRose can do a much better job of that than I can. This episode is my aim at bridging the two sides of the coin.  After 30 years of protecting this nation, making his way to the top of the enlisted ladder, and becoming a Gunner, LaRose has continued to serve.
