Well folks, the boys made it to Season 3. Warm up with some stories about cops, drug dealers, and drunk driving (not us, promise). First real topic of discussion is US Army soldiers indicted for selling classified info to China (for $15k? really?). Toss in some problems with military recruiting, immigrants, and security vetting, and you've got a whole heap of nuance.

If that wasn't gray enough for you, weigh in on Ukraine/Russia peace negotiations. We don't have a good answer, but that doesn't stop us from trying.

Recs for the week: Crimson Tide, Apollo 13, Wind River, Rebel Ridge, Pantheon, Horus Rising.
