Veterans Day is a holiday meant to honor those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. It is also a day that has historically served as a platform for those outside of the community to offer their thoughts on service – whether sincere or platitudinous. On this episode of Fire Watch, we speak to many veterans – ones with unique, distinguished or important backgrounds – and ask them their thoughts on the day, what phrases like “thank you for your service" means to them and why it may mean different things to different veterans. In this episode you'll hear from a Navy pilot and son of one of the most influential veterans of our lifetimes, a Silver Star recipient who fought in one of the most infamous and deadly battles of the Afghan War, a Vietnam veteran who has covered military issues for decades, an Iraq War veteran and proud immigrant who defended the Capitol against rioters on January 6th 2021, a founding leader for Black veteran voices and equity across the country, and a Marine who was relieved of command after she said she took a stand against gender bias in the Corps. Appearing in this episode: Drew Lawrence, Jonathan Hill, Kate Germano, Jack McCain, Aquilino Gonell, Alex Horton, Daniele Anderson, Rebecca Kheel and Richard Sisk. Interviews edited for time and clarity.

This is a fascinating story about how a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Marines, Kate Germano, set out to improve the performance scores of the female recruits under her command. Using historical data, and implementing the advice and training improvement suggestions of her peers and even supervisors, she managed to bring the results of her recruits up to par with that of the men they would serve with - in under 9 short months. This, after 40+ years of women never coming close to qualifying equally with men. Women who were previously shooting at the lowest qualifying rank (some failing to qualify at all) were suddenly shooting at the expert level - the highest qualifying level. Unit morale had improved, and her recruits were suffering fewer injuries. Her female recruits, for once in the Marines' history, were equally prepared to serve alongside their male counterparts. Interesting enough as it's own story line, right? Well what happened next was fodder for the international media for weeks afterwards - the Marines relieved her of her duty. Yes, Kate Germano was fired for doing too good a job. For being, "too tough" on her recruits. Too tough for the Marines?  What Kate had uncovered was systematic gender bias supported by years of segregated training and lowered expectations around results for the female recruits.  Listen to hear more!
