    Peace through superior night vision

    Peace through superior night vision

    Yes, this episode title is a play on the "peace through superior firepower" saying. But there's actually some truth to the statement as you'll learn with America's enemies now able to utilize what was left behind in the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan. Photonis Defense has been dedicated to making sure America keeps that advantage in creating a superior product with their latest technology. In studio we have Phil Otto, friend of the show and retired Marine/LEO/CIA contractor, along with Sean Kirk, VP of Photonis Night Vision Systems. This episode covers all things night vision, and we also have some fun as well. You can follow Phil on Instagram @NOCWorks and Photonis Defense on X & Instagram @PhotonisDefense

Kelikini ,

❤️🇺🇸🫡Thank you veterans! Thank You Bobby Meyers!

Hey Kris & Ian,
Thank you for sharing the interview of Bobby Meyers. It’s nice to know that people still care about the forgotten heroes of this country. After listening to your podcast with Bobby I checked out his YouTube channel and binge watched everything. It moves my heart that someone would take the time and effort not just to clean the veterans graves but to research the history behind what some of these veterans did for all of us. I hope he knows just how much he is appreciated for these selfless acts of service to those passed, some of whom gave all. I am a LEO retired with physical injury and PTSD myself…Thank you for this episode! I connected with his story, his service and his search for peace…and I know he finds peace with his current service.
❤️🇺🇸🫡Thank you!

Absolutely love this podcast. Between Ian and Kris they keep it fun and interesting. If you enjoy good talks this is it for you and they also have some good discounts on some stuff as well. Thanks for everything you guys do to take time out of your day to do the podcast

GERMANIAN WOLF ,

Great content

One of the best podcasts in the military/LEO genre. Conversations are very personal and is genuinely unscripted. Interviews routinely showcase a behind-the-scenes perspective, from people who were there, during some of the most eye opening events in military and/or first responder history. A must-listen!!!
