Today, I sit down with Schuler Robertson, a man whose 28-year military career spans the roles of infantryman, combat medic, police officer, and expert witness in use-of-force cases. Mr. Robertson walks me through his early patriotic reasons for joining the Army during the Reagan era and his journey through active duty, the National Guard, and overseas deployments. We talk about the evolution of hazing, leadership culture, and military tradition across the decades, including some jaw-dropping stories of both bonding and brutality in the barracks.

Mr. Robertson shares insights into his post-military life, including his time contracting in high-risk zones like Iraq and Afghanistan. We go deep into what life is really like for American contractors overseas, including interactions with the local population, covert negotiations with hostile groups, and navigating wild cultural moments—like bulletins for "hooker hiring" and surprise cricket watch parties in Muslim countries. From guarding government assets to recounting how rubber ducks, paper ghosts, and midget escapades lifted morale, our military and civilian tales are rather interesting.

We close the episode by digging into his current work as an expert witness in self-defense and firearms cases. Mr. Robertson breaks down the legal system’s shortcomings—how men and women are often held in jail for years awaiting trial, even in clear-cut cases of self-defense. He shares a powerful case study of a 70-year-old man defending his wife from a violent stepson, only to be treated like a criminal. We also get into corruption among law enforcement and judges. This episode is packed with experience, humor, and warnings for those who serve—and those who may someday have to defend their actions in court.
