When Donald Trump launches a war on Iran, hits a whole new country in Ecuador, talks openly about striking Cuba next—and Congress can't even be bothered to interrupt its weekend to hold an emergency session—you know America has a serious problem. In this all–new episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff takes you inside his fiery appearance on MSNBC's Deadline White House with Nicolle Wallace, where he confronts Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal and calls out a weak, failed Congress that is “not even a speed bump” to Trump's most dangerous impulses. Rieckhoff asks the question every American should be asking our so–called leaders right now: What are you going to do about it? He lays out how Trump can effectively do anything he wants with the most powerful military in the world, why the Iran War Powers vote is coming days after the war already started, how six American service members were killed while Congress dithered, and why both parties deserve blame for letting this runaway train barrel toward boots on the ground. From the risks of a wider regional war to the hard truth that “being sad and angry is not a course of action,” this episode is a clear, independent, unapologetically patriotic call for accountability and a real plan B. If you're tired of tweets, cable hits, and empty outrage—and you want straight talk, deeper context, and concrete ways to push your representatives to finally do their jobs—this is your briefing. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

Since 2001, more veterans have died by suicide than were killed in combat during GWOT. Let that sink in.He breaks down the rising numbers, the mental toll of Air Force Special Warfare and special operations, and why “mental armor” has to be built before you ever step into the fight. You train your body for the pipeline. You better train your mind for what comes after.Aaron shares his own story as a suicide survivor, talks about sobriety, therapy, and why being intrusive with your friends might save their life. This is about insulating, not isolating. It's about asking the uncomfortable question. It's about realizing the job doesn't end when you hang up the uniform.If you're chasing the pipeline, this is required listening.

Veteran war correspondent Phil Ittner reports from Kiev, Ukraine. Will Iran surrender or will this war burn the world down? and “some people will die.” That's your president speaking of Americans. Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal. Plus Kristi Noem is thrown out and an MMA fighter takes her place.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Air National Guard combat veteran and star of the new film "The Last Republican," now on YouTube. They dive deep into the escalating Iran war—with no clear endgame, potential boots on the ground, civilian casualties including a possible U.S. strike on an Iranian girls' school, and Congress failing to check Trump's power via War Powers resolutions. Kinzinger warns Trump may get bored and abandon the mess, analyzes threats like ICE under new head Markwayne Mullin, Cuba invasion risks, drone dangers at home, GOP corruption, and the urgent need for a pro-democracy coalition.

Senator Sheehy Breaks Arm of Marine Protestor. How Democrats Lost Men. War Costs $1B a Day. White House Call of Duty Video Game War Videos. 2 More Soldiers KIA Identified.  In this all-new episode of Independent Americans, Paul Rieckhoff hits all the breaking news and most urgent topics with bestselling author of The Perfect Storm and Tribe, war reporter, and documentarian Sebastian Junger for a raw, unflinching conversation about the unfolding war in Iran, a US Senator snapping the arm of a protestor, the follies of regime change wars, the human costs of American adventurism, Trump and Hegseth's nasty brand of fake-leadership, courage, patriotism, and what it really means to live — and almost die — for something bigger than yourself.  Together, Paul and Sebastian dig into the cost of America's forever wars, the invisible wounds carried by veterans and journalists, and the hard truths most politicians would rather ignore. Paul and Sebastian dig into the real cost of our forever wars, the invisible wounds carried by veterans and war reporters, and why so many Americans feel unmoored and alone in their own country right now.

Iran is Not a Football Game, Hegseth. Barron ‘Too Tall to Serve'?  American Troops KIA Identified. Another Primary Screws Independents. Indy Vet Bodnar Declares for Senate in Montana.  Trump has struck nine foreign countries in the past year and just opened a new front in Ecuador—while thousands of Americans remain stranded near Iran with no clear evacuation plan. From Times Square after sparring with Democrat Senator Blumenthal on MSNow, Independent Americans host Paul Rieckhoff blasts a Congress acting more like “mall cops” than a check on Trump's runaway war powers. In this quick‑fire solo pod, Paul unpacks the escalating Iran conflict, honors fallen troops by name, and exposes a bipartisan “Chickenhawk Club” eager to send others to fight while keeping their own families safe. He also breaks down how Trump's team has left bases worldwide on edge, why the Pentagon is scrambling for munitions, and how Washington still lacks a plan for the new generation of veterans it's creating. Plus, Paul dives into America's broken primary system, key Texas primary shifts, and a surge of independent veteran candidates like Montana's Seth Bodner proving that independents are the needle. And for some balance after the battle talk, he hits sports and culture—from the World Baseball Classic and Paralympics to the Oscar‑nominated short Armed Only with a Camera, honoring journalist Brent Renaud and those who show the real cost of war. -WATCH full video of this episode here.

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.

Bob Boeke was 16 years old when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Nearly two years later, he enlisted in the U.S. Army as part of a program to help get a college education and become an officer. But the program soon closed down. After basic training, Boeke was assigned to an intelligence and reconnaissance unit within the 86th Infantry Division.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Boeke tells us about intelligence and reconnaissance training, finding and removing German mines on the Normandy beaches, dealing with German mortar fire on the way to the front, and what he experienced after getting to the front lines.Boeke also shares how he and other recon soldiers scouted out whether the Germans had evacuated the villages they came to or whether they had retreated, how he got across the Rhine, and horrors he witnessed at Dachau. You'll also find out how Boeke ended up in the Pacific at the end of the war.Finally, we'll learn how the 75th anniversary of D-Day helped to reunite Boeke with the girlfriend he had to leave in the 1940's and how they tied the knot all these years later.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wild, Wolves and Vikings leaning in on veteran help. The Wild made two moves for 30-year-olds and could make a bigger one for another veteran. The Wolves slipped Kyle Anderson into their veteran-heavy rotation. The Vikings are a prime candidate to land Kyler Murray after trying youth at QB. 13:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins for a look at how big the Wild might swing at the trade deadline (even after Tuesday's move), revisionist history on the Vikings draft plus some Gophers women's hockey talk. 35:00: The Gophers women's basketball team has remarkable balance.

Please Follow Angry Male Vet Here: SubStack: https://angrymalevet.substack.com/ YouTube: @AngryMaleVet TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/discover/angry-male-vet Hawk and Angry Male Vet cut through the noise on the U.S. war with Iran, four days in and already without a clear objective, an exit strategy, or a definition of what victory even looks like. The conversation covers how Netanyahu and Trump pushed the U.S. into military conflict with Iran while Gulf allies opened their airspace and stayed out of offensive operations entirely. Rubio's admission that the U.S. knew Iran strikes were coming and did nothing to stop them draws sharp scrutiny from a combat veteran's perspective. The discussion covers the depletion of U.S. and Israeli interceptor missiles, Iran's deliberate strategy of using cheap drones and missiles to drain stockpiles, and what happens when the Iron Dome starts running out of ammunition. The purging of senior military leadership, including the firing of Iran cyber experts by Kash Patel just 36 hours before the war began, raises serious questions about institutional knowledge inside the Pentagon and FBI. Pete Hegseth's performance as Defense Secretary, Dan Cain's appointment as Joint Chiefs Chairman over 43 active generals, and Tim Pool's presence at Pentagon briefings paint a picture of an administration running on perceived loyalty rather than competence. The AIPAC money trail, the Tom Malinowski primary story, and Mark Kelly's shifting position on the war powers resolution expose how a foreign lobbying organization controls votes in both parties. The call to action is clear: contact representatives, reject AIPAC money, support the March 28th No Kings protest, and register voters for 2026.

NFL free agency is almost here, and the franchise tag deadline has passed — which means the market is about to heat up. But don’t expect the Green Bay Packers to chase the biggest names. In this episode of The Man Cave Podcast, Dan Kasper breaks down 10 veteran free agents who won’t break the bank — but could still make a real impact. Instead of focusing on splashy, top-tier signings, Dan looks at the kind of under-the-radar veterans that have historically helped Green Bay win. From defensive line help like Calais Campbell and DJ Reader… to potential reunions with players familiar with Jonathan Gannon’s system… to cornerback depth, linebacker versatility, and offensive line stability — this episode is all about smart, short-term moves that address real needs. Could Green Bay strike gold with a one- or two-year bargain deal? If the Packers are going to contend, they’ll need to hit on the right veterans — not just the biggest headlines. No scripts. No forced takes. Just real football talk.

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating world of neurocardiology with Jeff Goelitz, Director of Education at the HeartMath Institute. For over 35 years, HeartMath has been at the forefront of researching the "heart-brain" connection, proving that the heart is far more than just a mechanical pump. Jeff explains the revolutionary concept of "coherence"—a state of physiological balance where the heart, brain, and nervous system work in harmony to reduce stress and improve mental clarity. We explore the practical applications of HeartMath techniques for high-stress professions, including first responders, professional athletes, and the military. Jeff shares insights into how "heart rate variability" (HRV) serves as a key measure of our resilience and how simple breathing techniques can help us reset our nervous systems after trauma or daily stress. Whether you are a parent, an educator, or someone looking to manage anxiety, this episode provides the scientific foundation and actionable tools to tap into your heart's intelligence. Key Takeaways: ·         Beyond the Pump: Understand why the heart is now classified as an endocrine gland and a sensory organ with its own "brain" of 40,000 neurons. ·         The Power of Coherence: Learn how a state of heart coherence facilitates better decision-making and "cortical facilitation" in the brain. ·         Resilience for First Responders: Discover how HeartMath is being used to help firefighters and soldiers manage PTSD and maintain a "baseline of calm" in dangerous situations. ·         Measuring Inner Balance: An overview of HRV technology and how biofeedback sensors like the "Inner Balance" help track emotional stability. ·         The Heart-Brain Dialogue: Why the heart sends more neural traffic to the brain than the brain sends to the heart. About Jeff Goelitz   Jeff Goelitz has gained vast knowledge, experience and understanding of behavior and social and emotional learning in the many years he has been with HMI.

How Veterans Build Wealth Through Real Estate | David Pere breaks down how David Pere went from Marine Corps recruiter working brutal hours to becoming financially free through real estate—and why he built one of the largest military investing communities online. He explains the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" spark that led to house hacking, how veterans can use VA loan benefits to fast-track their first deal, and why purpose, identity, and community matter just as much as cash flow when transitioning to civilian life. David also shares what's changing in his investing strategy (including development and bank-funded foreclosure auctions), how he defines success, and the simple "get in the room" mindset that helps vets—and anyone—scale faster. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

   This episode of WarDocs features Dr. David Tate, a clinical neuropsychologist and lead author of the 2025 Military Medicine Article of the Year. The discussion centers on a groundbreaking study utilizing the LIMBIC-CENC cohort—a massive data set of over 3,000 participants—to investigate persistent brain changes in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Dr. Tate explains that traditional MRI scans often show normal results in patients with invisible symptoms because researchers often oversimplify patient groupings. By digging into more refined clinical characteristics, such as the mechanism of injury and number of exposures, his team identified unique physical signatures in the brain. Specifically, blast exposures were linked to changes in central white matter, while repetitive traumatic hits impacted more peripheral gray matter structures.    The conversation highlights the critical importance of neuroimaging techniques like diffusion tensor imaging, which is more sensitive to structural white matter changes than standard hospital sequences. Dr. Tate emphasizes that these findings provide vital validation for service members and veterans, demonstrating that their ongoing symptoms are rooted in physical, biological changes rather than purely psychological or "imagined". For clinicians, the episode serves as a call to action to move beyond simplistic interpretations of "normal" imaging and to prioritize exhaustive injury histories that include the physics of every exposure event.    By combining a deep dive into advanced neuroimaging with a focus on personalized medicine, this episode provides a comprehensive look at the future of TBI diagnosis and treatment. Listeners will learn how high-resolution volumetric data and detailed clinical info—including loss of consciousness and post-traumatic amnesia markers—are used to improve prognostic accuracy. Ultimately, Dr. Tate's work demonstrates that injury history matters even years later, pointing researchers and clinicians toward a more precise approach to studying and treating the diverse landscape of mild traumatic brain injuries in the military population.

The article focuses on persistent MRI findings unique to blast and repetitive mild traumatic brain injury within the LIMBIC-CENC cohort. (01:30-06:17) Dr. David Tate's Professional Background and Career Evolution   Dr. Tate shares his journey from growing up on a farm in Mississippi to becoming a leading researcher in academic neuropsychology. He discusses his mentorship under Erin Bigler and his favorite career experiences working directly with service members at Brooke Army Medical Center. (06:17-08:04) Understanding the LIMBIC-CENC Cohort and Consortium Research   The discussion explores the advantages of using a large consortium dataset that includes over 3,000 participants across the United States. This prospective study enables leading scientists and clinicians to collaborate on well-characterized, long-term functional outcomes following brain injury. (08:04-12:44) Methodology: Advanced Neuroimaging and Detailed Clinical Variables Dr. Tate explains the use of high-resolution volumetric MRI data and diffusion tensor imaging to map brain structural connections. Researchers combined these images with a plethora of clinical data, including lifetime exposure histories, demographics, and specific injury markers like loss of consciousness. (12:44-17:03) Key Findings: Heterogeneity of mTBI and Mechanism-Specific Signatures The study reveals that mild TBI is extremely heterogeneous and simplistic group comparisons often obscure meaningful findings. Findings showed that blast exposures leave signatures in central white matter, while repetitive traumatic injuries more specifically affect gray matter structures. (17:03-22:15) The Bottom Line: Validating Veteran Experiences and Clinical Takeaways The bottom line is that persistent brain changes can be detected if clinicians look at the right variables and mechanism of injury. This research validates the lived experiences of veterans, proving their symptoms are not imagined and emphasizing the need for detailed injury histories. Article Reference Persistent MRI Findings Unique to Blast and Repetitive Mild TBI: Analysis of the CENC/LIMBIC Cohort Injury Characteristics Open Access David F Tate, PhD , Benjamin S C Wade, PhD , Carmen S Velez, MS ,  Erin D Bigler, PhD , Nicholas D Davenport, PhD , Emily L Dennis, PhD ,  Carrie Esopenko, PhD , Sidney R Hinds, MD , Jacob Kean, PhD , Eamonn Kennedy, PhD  Military Medicine, Volume 189, Issue 9-10, September/October 2024, Pages e1938–e1946, https://doi.org/10.1093/milmed/usae031   Take Home Messages Heterogeneity of Mild TBI: Mild traumatic brain injury is not a single, uniform condition, and simplistic groupings can obscure meaningful characteristics of an injury. Clinicians must recognize that "if you've seen one mild TBI, you've seen one mild TBI," requiring a more personalized approach to diagnosis. Mechanism-Specific Signatures: The physical signature left on the brain depends heavily on the mechanism of injury, with blast exposures typically affecting central white matter and repetitive traumatic hits impacting peripheral gray matter. Understanding these distinctions helps explain why different patients experience different functional outcomes even with the same diagnosis. Sensitivity of Advanced Neuroimaging: Standard MRI sequences often fail to detect injuries in mTBI patients, but advanced techniques like diffusion tensor imaging are highly sensitive to structural white matter changes. Relying solely on basic imaging can lead to an over-simplistic interpretation that overlooks persistent brain changes. Validation of Lived Experiences: Research into persistent brain changes provides vital biological validation for veterans and service members who struggle with ongoing symptoms. These findings support the idea that invisible wounds have a physical basis and are not simply psychological or imagined. Importance of Detailed Injury Histories: For clinicians, the most critical takeaway is the necessity of capturing a detailed lifetime injury history, including the number of exposures and specific physics of each event. This detailed clinical information is essential for improving prognostic accuracy and understanding a patient's long-term health trajectory.   Episode Keywords Military Medicine, WarDocs Podcast, Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI Diagnosis, Blast Exposure, Neuropsychology, Persistent MRI Findings, Veteran Healthcare, Brain Imaging, Mild TBI, LIMBIC-CENC Cohort, Neuroimaging Research, AMSUS, Combat Injury, White Matter Change, Brain Health, Dr. David Tate, Military Health System, Invisible Injuries, Medical Podcast, Concussion Recovery, Gray Matter, MRI Scans, AMSUS Article of the Year, Veteran Support, Brain Mapping Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #WarDocs, #BrainHealth, #Veterans, #Neuroscience, #MildTBI, #BlastInjury, #MedicalResearch   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.
