Independence Day, Fourth of July, Freedom. 

But, do we ever discuss "Rights and Responsibilities" that are also major themes tied to the narrative of America? 

In this episode of Veteran Et Cetera, your host Mike Kim discusses "A Few Good Men" and the true military trial in 1986 that helped inspire aspects of the movie. He also presents important themes as part of the narrative of America. Veteran readjustment culture looks at many aspects of veteran and military life. A Few Good Men is a movie adopted by many military members, veterans, and civilians. Join Mike as he takes a deeper look into the movie and the narrative of July 4th... American Independence Day.

Ever think of those veterans in mass media like Audie Murphy or Lee Marvin from an older era? Mike's first guest on Veteran Et Cetera is Rudy Reyes.

What is unique about Rudy? How did he develop his own script instead of being a complete pawn to the veteran culture vultures in Hollywood?  

In veteran culture Rudy Reyes became that legendary mass media veteran for this present era and is a legendary Recon Marine and Sniper best captured in the HBO Series Generation Kill. Since Rudy played himself in the series, he has founded Force Blue, a non profit organization made up of a team of elite vets and scientists who scuba dive and save coral reefs around the world. 

In this episode Rudy gives a deep part of himself for listeners. In this warrior counter narrative Rudy, the key host of the global TV series SAS Who Dares Wins, recently shared with British news media the dark realities of veteran readjustment after the military. Rudy's contributions to Veteran Readjustment Culture are immense. Follow Rudy on Instagram @Real Rudy Reyes.
