  • Veteran's React to Trump's SECDEF Pick

    In this episode of the 2Fast / 2Fast Podcast, Navy nuke veterans come together to discuss Donald Trump's controversial pick for Secretary of Defense: Pete Hegseth. With his outspoken views on the military, including his belief that women shouldn't serve in combat roles and that Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have no place in the military, we dive deep into how these opinions might shape the future of the armed forces.

    We also explore an article from The Economist that questions whether military veterans are receiving too much disability compensation, sparking a lively debate on the role of the VA vs the role of the DoD, the challenges facing veterans today, and the ways the article attempts to deceive readers.

    Tune in for an engaging discussion filled with insights, opinions, and a touch of humor. Whether you're a veteran, military enthusiast, political sleuth, or just interested in current issues, this episode is for you!
