Mandatory Fun

Last week the U.S. Air Force tweeted to the world that it needs help naming its newest bomber, the B-21 Long Range Strike Bomber. (What could possibly go wrong?) Well ... we discuss the possibilities and provide examples where crowdsourcing failed. We also discuss the OV-10 Bronco's comeback and what it means in the fight against ISIS. And on a lighter note, we talk about which service branch we'd join knowing what we know about the military today.

Welcome to the first WATM podcast! This episode explores how the U.S. would fend off the rest of the world from a hypothetical invasion. Just imagine the shocking scenario where the U.S. pissed off China, Russia, Iran, and its traditional allies, such as the UK and France. Now imagine if these countries formed a unified coalition to attack the U.S. How long would the U.S. hold them off? Which tactics would it deploy? What role will its citizens play? The WATM editorial team discusses how this terrible idea would play out for the rest of the world. Hosted by bunch of vets who are easily entertained by weapons, tactics, and all things military: Logan Nye: Army veteran and associate editor Blake Stilwell: Air Force veteran and managing editor Tracy Woodward: Benevolent smartass and Social Media coordinator Orvelin Valle (AKA O.V.): Navy veteran and Social Media editor
