ABOUT THIS EPISODE
#podcast #veterans #meme
The Vets are back for a wide-ranging conversation covering film school, military awards, bar fights, vice laws, retro gaming, and military uniforms. Clean talks about his transition into camera work and why film production feels surprisingly similar to the military. The crew gets into GWOT-era awards, uniform changes, the cost of military gear, and the new Space Force look. Things take a turn into debates about self-defense, weapons, legalization, and regulation before wrapping up with an important reminder about suicide prevention and checking on the people around you.
