This week, we’re joined by Brigadier General (Ret.) Chris Petty—Army Aviator, NATO Commander, National Guard lifer, and a man who’s probably forgotten more about warfare than most of us ever learned. From flying over Iraq to commanding in Bosnia, Gen. Petty brings decades of insight, dark humor, and a tactical brain that could outmaneuver a GPS. We also dig into his site BattleDigest.com and his book “12 Battles Every American Should Know,” because knowing your history should involve more cannons and fewer textbooks.

Then we go bayonet-deep into the Battle of Shiloh, a Civil War meat grinder that makes modern warfare look like laser tag. This episode’s light on space podcasts talk but heavy on News for Vets, battlefield insights, and military grit. So whether you're here for a space force podcast or just like your war stories with a side of sarcasm, you're in the right AO.
