What happens when the music swells, the soldiers snap to attention, and history pivots on a single decision? In this episode, we march into a world where leadership, accountability, and sacrifice collide—through the lens of Ulysses S. Grant, the Cold War, and the scars of modern warfare. Dave Bowman pulls no punches as he connects the dots between the past and the present, questioning what it truly means to honor the sacrifices of those who march forward while leaders play to prevent rather than win. With sharp insights and unflinching honesty, Dave dives into the enduring struggles of veterans across generations, culminating in a searing critique of accountability—or lack thereof—in today’s leadership.

This is not just history. It’s a challenge. A call to reflection. And maybe, just maybe, a path forward. Are we retreating behind the Rapidan again, or are we finally ready to turn south and face the fight? Stay tuned—you won’t want to miss this.
