🚨 NEW EPISODE ALERT 🚨
🎙️ The Arrogant Independent presents:
The Few, The Proud: When Organizational Culture Turns Deadly
I’m an Army combat veteran who faced one of my hardest battles not overseas, but here at home — targeted while working at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Some of those behind it were Marines recruited to come after me.
This episode is about understanding the destructive mentality that enabled those actions… and the broader picture of why Marines and Army veterans are disproportionately represented in high-profile violent incidents.
In this episode, I break down:
· Why Marine and Army culture produces higher risk
· Case studies of post-9/11 veteran violence
· How PTSD, TBI, and systemic failures interact with culture
· Why we must reform reintegration, mental health, and leadership accountability
The episode includes new research and data, including a striking pie chart showing the probability of violent incidents by branch.
This is not about stigmatizing veterans. It’s about asking hard questions and demanding systemic answers.

🇺🇸 It’s time to face the truth: If we don’t understand the cultural roots of this problem, we’ll never prevent it from repeating.
