This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Operation Desert Storm. In 1991, Iraq invaded Kuwait in order to get access to their oil fields. What followed was one of the most decisive counter-offensives of all time. 35 countries fought in order to restore Kuwait's independence. Explosion-Proof Robot Specialist, Stephen Antolich was one of the people who fought and served to help secure this outcome.  

We usually tell figurative "war stories" on CWSK, but in this one-of a-kind episode Stephen tells literal war stories about the 3 conflicts he has been involved in as well as what caused him to join up, what he went through becoming a Marine, what he learned from the experience, and how fighting with the Corps has shaped his life to this day.   

If you stick with us, you're going to hear some disturbing yet interesting stories that will keep you hanging off the edge of your seat. In true CWSK style, we also discuss tangential subjects ranging from religious philosophy to the relative size of the universe. This is admittedly a departure from CWSK's usual format, but I think you'll agree that its a good one.
