We’re not starting Season 4 quietly. We’re not easing in with a polite “welcome back.” We’re kicking off 2026 with a full-throttle “that’s bullsh*t!” and we’re doing it the only way we know how — loud, honest, and unfiltered.

Welcome to Common Veterans Season 4.

This season is going to be bigger, bolder, and more unapologetically real than ever. And we’re starting with the topic that every veteran, service member, and military family knows all too well:

The Military Is Full of BS

Not all of it. Some of it makes sense. Some of it’s necessary. But let’s be real — a lot of it is just nonsense. And we’re not afraid to call it out.

In Episode 1, “That’s Bullsh*t!”, we dive into the stuff that makes you roll your eyes, laugh, and wonder how anyone ever thought this was a good idea.

• Pointless bureaucracy
• Training that exists just to fill time
• Orders that make no sense
• Traditions that are outdated but still mandatory
• Leadership decisions that are so ridiculous they’re almost impressive

And yes — we talk about the moments when you just have to embrace the suck because fighting it would be a full-time job.

Why We’re Doing This

Because the military experience isn’t always heroic speeches and perfect discipline. It’s also:

• laughing at the absurdity
• surviving the nonsense
• learning how to keep your sanity intact
• even when everything around you feels like it’s falling apart

This episode is a reset. A “we’re back” moment. A reminder that we’re not here to sugarcoat anything.

We’re here to tell the truth.

The Best BS Moments From Episode 1

Without spoiling everything, here are a few highlights that made us laugh and cringe at the same time:

• The paperwork that somehow takes longer than the job itself
• Training requirements that don’t apply to anything you’ll ever do
• Rules that exist just because they always have
• Moments where you realize the “plan” was made by someone who has never been in the room

If you’ve ever been in the military, you know exactly what we’re talking about. And if you haven’t — you’re about to get a front-row seat to the most honest version of military life.

What You Can Do About the BS (Real Talk)

Here’s the thing — we can’t fix all the nonsense. We can’t change the system overnight. But we can control how we respond.

In this episode, we talk about what actually works:

• When to push back
• When to shut up and do the job
• When to laugh so you don’t lose your mind
• How to keep your head above water when everything feels ridiculous

It’s not a guide to “winning” the military. It’s a guide to surviving it — with your sanity intact.
