Art and War takes a slightly different tone today, as B.R investigates the recent controversy and allegations made concerning Mark, founder of the civilian training group, 'The Appalachian Ranger Association'. Mark had previously been a guest on the show on Episode 83. Due to mounting reports, allegations and evidence stacking up against the leadership of the group, we wanted to hear the other side of the story from former members of the ARA, without filter. Part One features two former ARA Rangers discussing Mark's culture of silencing dissent within the organization, hypocrisy, lack of leadership, poor risk assessment and planning and much more lead to it's seeming dissolution.
Stay tuned for the follow up, Part 2, next Sunday the 22nd of October, 2023.
