Episode #31: “Who’s Protecting Our Protectors?”
Between 2006 and 2020, 75% of all active-duty U.S military fatalities were classified as non-combat related deaths. 93% of those deaths occurred right here in the United States of America. In today’s episode, I talk to Gold-Star Mother Heather Baker, who’s son, PV2 Caleb Smither was found dead in his own bunk after a head injury placed him on bed rest. Cause of Death: apathy, complacency, and ignorance on behalf of his fellow soldiers, and the shirking of responsibility by his own command.
