To all the brave men and women out there still protecting our freedom 🇺🇸 🫡 Thank you for your service!

Today we dive into a lot of topics surrounding 12-time author and former US Army Ranger Dave Grossman. His extensive and sometimes controversial knowledge of the psychology of combat, killing, and this time around sleep deprivation. We go off the rails a little, but there is plenty of really good information about how sleep can be a key factor in preventing suicide. You can find all things surrounding Dave at https://grossmanontruth.com
