Lefties and the 2nd amendment have been a perennial topic over the last decade. More specifically, the debate has been around how legacy 2A activists should approach them: should we welcome more people to the cause(especially if they undermine Democrat attempts at regulation by injecting pro-gun people into their primaries), or should we be suspicious of militants seeking to use firearms to further their political aims?This has grown even more relevant due to various hard lefty militant groups like John Brown Gun Club and Socialist Rifle Association, both of whom have both had individual members and small groups commit violent armed attacks in furtherance of explicit political goals. The revelation that a USMC vet and current Maine Democrat candidate for US Senate has trained SRA groups in the past in individual and small unit tactics only increases the urgency. I decided to provide my thoughts and guidance on a somewhat nuanced topic, based on my research and experience with these groups as well as the left at large.

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall take a look at the second part of the Battle for Wake Island, the Japanese invasion and American defense. The guys also dig into the details, focusing on the American relief effort planned by Admiral Husband Kimmel, the Japanese plans for a re-do, the Japanese landings and subsequent beat-down that the Marines put on Kajioka's assault troops. All this leads up to the controversial decision to surrender the island by CDR Cunningham. The guys get into a rare "what-if" regarding what would have happened if the Marines had destroyed the second Japanese attempt to take the island. Tune in to this one, this is one of the best ones this season. #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharborattack #salvaged

“When you do find the tribe and the right help, boy does it open up doors!”Marine Corps veteran, Ms. Sarah George, joins us in our virtual studio and tells us about her two attempts at boot camp, being part of the initial push of the Iraq War, some of the personal difficulties that ultimately led her to leave the Corps, and the ups and downs of life afterwards that finally led her to helping others as a therapist.In the Free Fire Area, Roger both inspires us and beclowns himself with his unbridled passion for candy corn and sour candies.The theme song for this episode is provided by The Mountain via Pixabay.Support the showhttps://tracerburnout.com/

The Few. The Proud.  The Marines.  Today, we are discussing this legendary fighting force as we celebrate the United States Marines' 250th birthday. For 250 years, the Marines have shown up to protect our freedom, and helped establish the Untied States as the world's superpower. To discuss the evolution of this branch of our military, we are honored to welcome back Dr. James Robbins, Dean of Academics at the Institute of World Politics; Senior Fellow in National Security Affairs at the American Foreign Policy Council; Former special assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

This week Seth Paridon and Jon Parshall tackle the topic of the American defense of Wake Island. In this much-anticipated series of episodes, Seth and Jon take a look at why Wake was occupied in the first place, what it took to build Wake into a useful base, as well as the commanding officers, both American and Japanese. Finally, the guys get into the story of the Marine defense of Wake on December 11, 1941 against a Japanese amphibious landing. It's the story you know with the details you don't. You won't want to miss this one.   #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #essex #halsey #taskforce38 #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #mastersoftheair #8thairforce #mightyeighth #100thbombgroup #bloodyhundredth #b17 #boeing #airforce wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #usnavy #usa #usarmy #medalofhonor #enterprise #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #cv6 #midway #wwii #wwiihistory #ww2 #worldwar2 #usnavy #usnavyseals #usmc #usmarines #saipan #usa #usarmy #aircraft #aircraftcarrier #battleship #battleships #ussenterprise #aircraftcarriers #museum #hollywood #movie #movies #books #oldbreed #1stMarineDivision #thepacific #Peleliu #army #marines #marinecorps #worldwar2 #worldwar #worldwarii #leytegulf #battleofleytegulf #rodserling #twilightzone #liberation #blacksheep #power #prisoner #prisonerofwar #typhoon #hurricane #weather #iwojima#bullhalsey #ace #p47 #p38 #fighter #fighterpilot #b29 #strategicstudying #tokyo #boeing #incendiary #usa #franklin #okinawa #yamato #kamikaze #Q&A #questions #questionsandanswers #history #jaws #atomicbomb #nuclear #nationalarchives #nara #johnford #hollywood #fdr #president #roosevelt #doolittle #doolittleraid #pearlharborattack #salvaged

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they as they have plenty to say about the shocking break-in and horrible security at the Louvre, the U.S. Army's major push into nuclear power, President Trump commuting the sentence of George Santos, and another California controversy that's literally explosive.First, after briefly noting the break-in and alarming security lapse at the Louvre, Jim and Greg turn to the U.S. Army's ambitious plan to install nine small nuclear reactors across key military bases. They applaud the move as a major step toward energy independence and boost warfighting capabilities.Next, they rip President Trump's commutation of convicted serial fraudster and expelled former New York Rep. George Santos after he served almost three months of a seven-year sentence. While still a convicted felon, Santos will no longer need to pay restitution to his victims. Unsurprisingly, Santos says he wants to focus on the future and not the past. Jim says this smells like Trump simply rewarding a political ally. Finally, they tackle the California uproar over closing Interstate 5 during the U.S. Marine Corps' 250th anniversary celebration at Camp Pendleton. Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered the shutdown due to live ordnance, but the Marines insisted it wasn't necessary. California Highway Patrol officers report a small piece of shrapnel damaged one of their vehicles when an explosive went off prematurely. They also rip Newsom for his self-incriminating tweet about the No Kings protests.Please visit our great sponsors:Get 20% off your first purchase of classic menswear.

If Europeans have been swiftly divesting themselves of real amphibious capability, the reverse has been true of the ADF in recent years. Ray Leggatt, the first true Commander Amphibious Task Force of the Australian Amphibious Force, talked through his experience in putting together an amphib capability for a state that had not done this sort of operation in a couple of generations. Ray provides a remarkably honest and frank set of assessments about the capability when he was CATF, the essential trust and relationship needed with the Commander Landing Force (CLF), and the realities of doctrine versus practicality necessary to make a nascent capability tangible.

https://www.amazon.com/Mailman-Went-UA-Vietnam-Memoir/dp/1479168653 - copy and paste to get the book.David Mulldune was a Weapons Company Marine in 1968 in Vietnam. His very first big mission was the bloody Operation Allen Brook. He operated in the Liberty Bridge area and operated in and out of Go Noi Island as well. David talks about the difficulties of Vietnam, including torturing enemy combatants and hanging on the very edge. So far out on the edge that morals and ethics disappeared altogether. There is some talk of Bush Marines vs. Bush Marines in 1968, some unreal realizations about self, about drugs, about prostitution, and grunt life. He talks about the dark thoughts and the numbness that came over him the longer he was there. David was covered with Agent Orange on more than one occasion and now has Stage 4 cancer as a consequence. He is told he has 12 months or less and talks about having peace. He has peace and has turned his life over to God. I asked him if he was ready for the next life. His answer will touch your heart.

“When it hits you, it is such an intense experience.” Marine Corps veteran and entrepreneur, Mr. Cassidy Nolan, joins us in our virtual studio and tells us how he got hooked by the Marine Corps' awesome commercials, how a trip to Colombia (the country) nearly ended his dreams early, the completely different reasons that both of his tours in Afghanistan ended early, and all about the wild rollercoaster ride of his post-service life.

Don Graves tried to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps the day after President Franklin Roosevelt declared the Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor a day of infamy. Since he was only 16 years old, Graves had to wait another six months to enlist. When he did, he went through basic training in California and was soon assigned as a flamethrower operator in the 2nd Battalion, 28th Regiment, 5th Marine Division.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Graves recounts the harrowing landing during the third wave at Iwo Jima, getting pinned down in the water, what they had to do to reach the volcanic ash beach, and how he begged God to spare his life as the bullets flew above him.Graves also tells us about the fight up Mount Suribachi against Japanese forces with the higher ground. He explains what made the difference in the fight, a shocking encounter with a Japanese soldier during the battle, and what he remembers about the iconic flag raising atop Mount Suribachi.Then Graves details an even more intense fight at Hill 362 A, where his unit lost all its remaining officers. He also takes us into the fighting in the caves, both with guns and with his flamethrower. And he shares one of the most devastating moments of the battle that took place in his own foxhole.Finally, Graves describes leaving the island alive when so many other Marines didn't. And he remembers hearing the news of the Japanese surrender just as he was training for the invasion of Japan.

In this inspiring episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes Joe Stazione, a proud U.S. Marine Corps Veteran and founder of multiple veteran-focused nonprofit organizations, including Throttle Therapy. Joe served in the USMC from 1999 to 2003, and while he didn't see combat, he's done his fighting on the home front—against isolation, loss of purpose, and the challenges many veterans face after service. His journey includes founding Arizona's largest veteran motorcycle ride, working with renowned organizations like 22Kill and Defenders of Freedom, and ultimately turning his love for motorcycles and art into a life of healing and connection.

Lt.Col Olivier North, USMC (retired), an American hero, will address those concerned about the cultural decline they see all around them, people who watch the nightly news and ask themselves, “What is happening to our country?” It seems we have become a nation of people who are offended by everything but sin. What is happening to our country is simple to explain but sad to observe: we are seeing what a culture of sin can do to a country. Within the problem is the solution. Biblical morality reestablished in America by an uprising of God’s people standing for righteousness will bring God’s forgiveness and our healing.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He attended boarding school after the age of 6 and eventually was fully immersed in the local culture. His family stayed for 16 years to bring Christianity to new cultures. Jason went on to join the Marine Corps and worked as a Force Recon Marine with 2nd Force Recon. We discuss living a purpose-driven life, writing, and taking the risks necessary for a fulfilling human experience.

The Modern Minuteman concept is still being fleshed out and developed with lots of considerations when it comes to modern warfare. Among the many details to establish has been the apparent need for weapon platforms that can increase engagement tempo and firepower offering tactical options for small units and teams. This need has led to many different ideas and perspectives on how the modern minuteman should approach specialized platforms and some look to the military for answers. Although the military can offer many valuable insights into fighting methods, the military doctrine and approach to the use of machine guns is very specific. In this episode Stephen and Jacob sit down with Ben Price (a fomer USMC 0331 Machine Gunner) to explain the ways military machine gun tactics differ from small unit auto rifle tactics. These differences are important to highlight because we believe it better informs the overall concept of what platforms best serve the mission of the modern minuteman.   CONTACT US The best way to get a hold of us is to email us.

To help his friend's son, they brought back a past guest, Buck Sessoms. Buck (episodes 164 & 165) served twenty-five years active duty in the United States Marine Corps. He discussed with Paul and Courtney everything from how to enlist as a U.S. Marine to boot camp to OCS (Officer Candidate School) to deployment. He talked about the mindset and the attitude you need to have and to expect to be made uncomfortable and experience some pain during training. He said it would be good for anyone interested in the USMC to be in good physical shape when you head off to boot camp. He also said you should feel comfortable in a pool and they also went over some of the lingo used in the USMC. They finished by talking about some of the benefits you receive if you enlist whether you stay in for four years or make the USMC a career.

Louis Bourgault was 16 years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor - too young to formally join the military. After his father rejected a teenage plot to go join the Canadian forces, Bourgault enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps when he turned 17. After grueling basic training at Parris Island, Bourgault was tapped as a message runner. He was soon off to San Diego and then shipped to New Zealand. After spending time loading and unloading ships at Guadalcanal, it was soon time to enter the fighting.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Bourgault gives an unvarnished look at basic training and how it prepared new Marines for war. He also describes a Japanese torpedo attack at Guadalcanal. From there, he takes into the combat on Bougainville, where Bourgault and many others fought both the Japanese and tropical ailments.Bourgault then shares his vivid memories of the difficulties in getting onto the beach at Iwo Jima, what he saw there, and being medicially evacuated a short time later. He also remembers seeing the U.S. flag atop Mt. Suribachi and what it was like to hear the war had ended several months later.Lastly, Mr. Bourgault shares how much it means to him that so many Americans make a point of thanking him for his service.

Doug Bahrns knew he wanted to be a U.S. Marine Corps officer when he finished high school a couple of years before 9/11. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and was commissioned as a Marine Corps officer. After going to officer's training at Quantico, Bahrns was assigned command of 3rd Platoon, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines in 2003. By 2004 they were in Iraq, and a few months later they would be involved in some of the fiercest fighting of the war - the Second Battle of Fallujah.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Bahrns discusses the ramping up to the battle, how he got orders to get his men ready for the fight in the middle of the night, and what he went over in his mind just before the battle began.Bahrns describes the successful push to the mayor's complex, the vicious fighting to move out from there, and the brutal house-to-house fighting that followed. He explains the very effective method of clearing houses, how those gains stayed secured, and how his Marines escaped from a very precarious situation at a place they called "The Alamo."Finally, Bahrns details the devastating loss of Cpl. Bradley Faircloth in late November 2004 and how Faircloth's death still weighs on him today.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Jim Rojas Taylor... A Marine veteran, actor, creative, and author of All Your Best Selves. We talk about the concept of building your inner world through what he calls “suits and bubbles,” and how emotional intelligence, presence, and identity all shape how you show up.Jim breaks down the mental tools he's developed since childhood, how he sees emotions as flavored energy, and why he believes most people aren't insecure... they're just unprepared. We get into real conversations about self-awareness, what the “it factor” actually is, and why we should be teaching emotional literacy alongside reading and math.This episode is one of those you might want to come back to. It's honest, layered, and filled with perspective shifts that can help you lead, speak, and live with more clarity and confidence.Take a listen. Let it sink in.
