Redman (Ret.). He is the founder and spokesperson of the nonprofit organizations Combat Wounded Coalition & Wounded Wear (www.combatwoundedcoalition.org), and the author of the book The Trident: The Forging and Reforging of a Navy SEAL Officer.

LT Jason Redman served his country courageously and with distinction in Colombia, Peru, Afghanistan, and Iraq, where he commanded mobility and assault forces. He conducted over forty capture/kill missions with his men in Iraq, locating more than 120 al-Qaida insurgents. Jason was critically wounding in 2007 while leading a mission against a key al-Qaida commander. On that mission his team was ambushed and he was struck by machine-gun fire at point-blank range.

Jason and Lefthand have some fun with throwing well deserved Jackwagons, FBI Director James Comey, Hillary Clinton and Career Politicians, on the Talking Lead Jackwagon Train.
