30 mins in… Chad is one of the most humble people to walk this earth. His heart is pure gold. His faith is inspirational and I just realized this podcast is ONLY 2 hrs…. Noooo! Was hoping for 4 plus at least… 🙃. Thanks Andy for this one. I feel blessed to be able to have access to this.
Absolutely 100% spot on about mandatory two years of service in something where you can really see how great this country is that we have. We are losing it because people today have no idea how good they have it.
This is the best episode of your podcast. The typical US citizen needs to watch this and understand what freedom really is! Thank you Chad and Andy. Yes I am bias 23 years in the Marine Corps.
Chad, you have made me delightfully confused, and have reminded me, for myself, that I just want to stay Domestic as possible, what a Fiasco. Thank you for sharing your awesome story!
Good morning y’all. Kick this Mondays ass and have a good week. Hop everyone remembered the clocks jump last weekend although most people use their phone as an alarm but I’m sure there are still some old school folks out there.
Chad ~ your firefighting son can always apply for an upgrade to his (entrapping, fraudulent, coercive) discharge. Thank you & your sons for your service!
Really pathetic our government doesn’t give these soldiers the mental heath support while they are serving instead they let them get to a breaking point and then wash them out and leave them to their own devices.
1:58:15 - 2:02:32 "I've seen mass graves. I directly witnessed Russia using Chem (WMD) on Ukrainian civilians... They attacked a senior living center, killing all elderly on site. I've seen 400 'women & children' tied-up & executed" ~ DEVASTATING ~ TY to CR & friends for having the courage to do the right thing !! ~ CM //( - - )
General Tao was a real person, but he was not a chef. Zuo Zongtang, also known as General Tso in the United States, was a well-known military man from Hunan Province in China. -google
Unfortunately it’s not the balloon used for spying we need to be concerned about,because China has satellites too. The most current hypothesis is they were testing a means to deliver some other type of device undetected onto US soil. Love the show.
Love the man, dislike the message. We had no choice but to leave Nam. My husband had to leave a woman and 2 children there. He went back , not as a soldier, as a divorced man. There is never a good time to leave. Men develop relationships. No good time to leave.
The problem with Ukraine is that it is probably the most filmed war in history and none of it is being shown to people. Then for those of us that try to follow both the Ukrainian posted videos and the Russian, it means we have seen what the Ukrainians do to some of the civilians when they retake a town and if you have watched Zelensky's speeches he specifically said they would treat anyone that took Russian aid as traitors, but we have not seen what the Russians are accused of doing. Add in that the few civilian buildings that the MSM has claimed were hit by Russia either have videos or photos of Ukrainian soldiers there, or vehicles hiding beside, post by themselves or are shown to be from their air defense going wrong. Throw in all the other western and Ukrainian propaganda and they have created a situation where the only way most of us will believe them is by showing the crime being committed, not a picture of the scene after that is being blamed on Russia. Not to mention, some of us have been following since 2014 and know how their N-larping militias have conducted themselves till now, some of it can be found in the record of the one trial they had convicting, crud, forget but think it was the head Tornado guy who was just let out for this war.
Cool dude for sure & a great father which I love, but the vaccine stuff...I'll just never understand the reasoning. I'm referring both to the inconceivably poor political decision to mandate it federally, & the cost/benefit analysis taking place with all of the soldiers/other workers who chose to lose their jobs rather than take the next "jab" on a long list of required jabs throughout their years of service/work. I will not accept the response of "well, I'm now more educated on this jab due to all of the emphasis on it, & because of that girth of information, I'm making an educated decision..." Stop it, no you're not. You decided not to take it because of your hyper partisanship. You fear something well beyond losing your career, namely, being ostracized from your social group(s), which you fear, & are likely correct, would be the result of capitulation. I'll concede that you believe you're well informed & that you're making a heroic & virtuous decision, but in objective reality, you're choosing not to look like a disgusting damn lib-tard to your social group. If another jab comes along for something that has no political life, you'll take it with very little to no "research" if it's required for your job, because that's what we have to do to remain employed & take care of our families, which should be priority #1 through 100, not keeping up appearances of a good conservative at the cost of that.
Dude said having USA troops overseas prevents war... The biggest cope I've heard. How has that foreign troop presence prevent war since WW2 been working out for us? Literally manufactured wars on the fly.
Lol your world is all about the USA and yourself. USA troops have prevented over two dozen wars outside of the USA. I guess the USA could just let people kill each other. That's an option too. Like we did during world war 2 for awhile. Unless you've traveled the world and lived in these countries. Don't assume you know everything. Cause you don't. no one does. What we do know is war is lingering at all time. People die. If you think the world is peaceful and never wants war. Then you're just living in some fake bubble life inside your luxury american life. IN the real world outside of your comfort zone. Where you don't have the US military to allow you to act tough. You will realize that children and women and people die by the millions due to war or just large groups of people killing others. America sat back and watched 1 million+ innocent people get slaughtered within the past 20ish years. Don't forget. WE could have saved over a million people but we didn't have troops near there and politics was taking up all the attention. It would be nice if america stops playing cop but then that's where you and everyone else becomes ignorant. Communism wants to take over everything. IT has been like that for 1000-2000 years. So if america hides in the USA. Then communism steps out and takes over. It's not that complicated. Just think of it in decades. Unfortunately, the majority of the population live in luxury and don't understand anything about war and death. US military only understand killing and losing friends. They have NO IDEA what it's like to have your family blown up. SO even within the US military they are all ignorant. This is the best we've got though. Pick the lesser evil and that's the USA. Get over it. War is part of humanity. Stop acting like America invented it. If you don't think having USA troops prevents MILLIONS of deaths then you're so ignorant it might be too late for you to learn. You might just be ignorant for life unfortunately. JUst go do something and die peacefully stop being wrong.
Amazing/ hard life and i have a lot of respect for him and what he's done but damn he just talks way too fast, will have to listen to this in segments. Another great one Andy.

Wow. I lost my dad when I was a teenager and hearing chad talk about how proud he is of his son made me cry like a baby. Incredible episode.
I’m sorry for your loss. God Bless you and your family. 🙏🏻

Nothing like blaming the victim.
Present and accounted for
Unfortunately it’s not the balloon used for spying we need to be concerned about,because China has satellites too. The most current hypothesis is they were testing a means to deliver some other type of device undetected onto US soil. Love the show.

Love the man, dislike the message. We had no choice but to leave Nam. My husband had to leave a woman and 2 children there. He went back , not as a soldier, as a divorced man.
There is never a good time to leave. Men develop relationships. No good time to leave.
Has Chad articulated his story on another podcast before? I feel like I've heard the story of him in his closet and his wife interrupting before.
I believe he was on Mike Ritland's podcast.
The problem with Ukraine is that it is probably the most filmed war in history and none of it is being shown to people.

There are half a dozen if not more shots i took before every deployment. Malaria, anthrax, smallpox etc. Crybabies.
