For an infantry Marine, you "march or die". When Marines do get to march on the enemy it is an unforgettable, life-altering experience. Re-entry to friendly lines is winning the day.

"The fight raged for hours, and for hours we raged back. We flew in from the sky for the opening of our attack. Three days they stood and fought us hard before they were overcome.We dropped them in the killing fields between the poppy runs. Such a pretty battlefield, I never would have dreamed, the beauty of a poppy field in Marjah in the spring."

Yonel Dorelis AKA Yogi joins us for this episode to talk about his distinguished career flying for multiple different branches of the U.S. military. We talk about his youth and his service, culminating in his actions during operation Anaconda in Afghanistan. He is a true American Patriot with an amazing story!

Retired First Sergeant Larry Briar joins the show and discusses his experiences. We talk about combat, loss, and transition. I hope you enjoy this episode.

This week we have a returning guest Marc Arrington on the show to talk about a topic that has been in the news a lot over the past few years. I wanted to know more about why China would want Taiwan or feel entitled to take it. I Knew from the last recording that Marc wrote his thesis on this very topic, so I invited him back to discuss it. While in graduate school, he wrote an honors thesis focusing on the intellectual history of influential Chinese leaders with a heavy emphasis on the interpretation of the Chinese grand strategies of Clausewitz’s writings (or vice versa). I learned a lot and really enjoyed this recording. Let us know your thoughts on the current situation in the comments below, and be sure to like, follow, and subscribe to be alert when new content is released.

This week we sit down with a former soldier who has very much remained in the shooting community and influencing online. Ash Hess spent his service time in the Army and has been shooting ever since. I started following Ash on Instagram a while back. He works with Knights Armament and shoots professionally. I was very interested in sitting down and talking about some of the new pistol brace legislation and doing a deep dive into how we got to this point. I hope you enjoy this episode.
