Aaron tackles some of the biggest controversies in today’s military culture—from the impact of political agendas and DEI initiatives to the reality of recruiting issues and the push for higher combat pay. He doesn’t hold back on the uncomfortable truths about standards slipping, how certain policies are affecting the morale and readiness of troops, and why the military needs to refocus on what really matters: warfighting. With straight talk on everything from the absurdity of over-politicization to the challenges of maintaining discipline and integrity in an ever-changing military, this episode is as real as it gets.

If you’re tired of hearing the same old talking points and want to know what’s actually going on in the ranks, this is the episode for you. Aaron lays it out, challenging the status quo and demanding accountability at every level.
