Welcome to the Ones Ready Podcast, where we don’t sugarcoat war, trauma, or government healthcare. In this jaw-dropping episode, Marine combat vet Casey West joins Aaron to share a story so absurd it’ll make your recruiter cry. Two-time Afghan deployment? Check. Aerial gunner turned motorcycle gang enforcer? Yep. Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer after the VA spent 8 years handing him pills and calling him crazy? You bet your ass.

But here’s the twist—Casey didn’t die. He flipped the middle finger to his diagnosis, ditched chemo, and walked his own path toward healing through holistic therapy, sweat lodges, and sheer unrelenting willpower. Oh, and he’s still roasting the VA every step of the way. If you’ve ever been gaslit by the system or doubted your own reality, strap in—this one's for you.

💥 VA Healthcare: When in doubt, gaslight the vet until he sees Jesus.
💥 Combat Was the Easy Part: Fighting the VA? That’s where the real war begins.
💥 From Helicopter Gunner to One Percenter: Because civilian life just doesn’t hit hard enough.
💥 Terminal Cancer Diagnosis? Nah, more like a challenge accepted.
💥 Alternative Medicine for the Win: Cold plunges, fasting, and plant medicine > radiation and despair.
💥 Healing is Hardcore: Trauma isn’t weakness—it’s an origin story.
💥 The Mission Isn’t Over: Casey’s building a movement for vets failed by the system.
💥 Don’t Pity Him—Follow Him: Dude’s planning legislation and running laps around cancer.
