Being pulled into the military industrial complex at a young age can be a traumatic experience, especially after living a troubling childhood. Our stranger this week, CHRIS, is a war veteran who watched his parents struggle with heroin and abusive relationships before putting his body on the line for nationalistic beliefs he would later question. He talks to us about the mental impact of war, how tattooing helped heal him and his customers, and more.

The Strange Squad talks about eating cow tongue, an underwater strip club, and forgetting people’s names.

This is the 102nd episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.
