Veterans Take Digital Airwaves Real War Stories Shared First

It's never happened before. Huh? I mean, we're definitely the first group to come back and instantly start saying no shit. There I was, here's the story. And there's something to that. And I don't, I don't mean like that we're bragging about it, but we're actually saying this is the cost of what we're doing. This is what's going on. This is how hard it is. We're the first ones to do that. And is it because of the digital space? Because we all have access to the airwaves. I mean, You look at my show, it's sort of pirate radio from the old days. I just came on and started talking. Yep, that's exactly right. It's like pirate radio from the old days, except now we attract, you know, like attracts alike. So, you know, if you have a show about warfighters, you know, I had the first big show for warfighters, and it was the warfighter perspective, and there was... It was beautiful, man. It really was. It was amazing at that time because as I was going through the stuff you go through when you come home, I was going through it on air. People got to listen to it. And that was a big deal. And that happened in a lot of different places. The other thing that's very unique, because of this digital age and because of Stolen Valor and how we feel about it, there's a lot more accuracy of how warfighters are, how warfighters feel, what warfighters think. There's much more accuracy and a lot less lore than there has been in the past. And so we've been challenged. I know I've been challenged with this. Why can't you guys just do what the World War II guys did? They came home and they just went to work. Well, no, they didn't. That's not what happened. Yeah. Yeah. You know, that's what that's what, you know, certain that's what granddad said to you because you were a little bitch when you were fucking five years old. And what was he going to do? No, I came home and I fucking drank my ass off for about 10 years. And, you know, and it wasn't real great between me and grandma. You think he was going to have that conversation with you? No, he wasn't. You know, that's the kind of stuff he talks about down at the VFW. But. And so that was a total fallacy. And there was no record of grandpa when he came home or what he was going through, what he felt like, what was happening. You just got the grandpa version. You didn't get the I just got back version. Right. Yeah, man, that's that's true. You didn't get the grant. You know, the VFW has people in there and there's some for sure some bitching and complaining. But, you know, that's that's true anywhere. But to put it in the context of these fights. It's a different thing. And I think you're right. Like, we're learning a lot about what each of us goes through. I mean, it used to be that, like, I'll just use us, you know, as the mirror. You know, we would get mad at the ramps, the rear echelon motherfuckers. Now we're all kind of going, actually, shut the fuck up. Everybody's out there. You know, we're all losing something. I'll submit this. You don't have to agree, but... So especially when people talk about females in combat and everything and how they get hurt more often and they can't do it. No one's asked me to do a push-up in combat, and every single person who enters a combat zone for any length of time receives damage and injury of some kind.
