Bravo Zulu
Great podcast, it's like a breath of fresh air. It so easy to be disillusioned as a veteran in todays environment. These talks give me hope for our country's future.
Good focus on leadership and accountability
This new podcast is very refreshing. The moderators have years of military command and battle leadership backing them up their interview questions and their guests - so far - are equally proficient. The topics are timely. This is no geeky microfocus on equipment and kills that other podcasts offer, but a true look at strategy and policy from people who know it from top to bottom.
Good conversation
Nicely moderated program and interesting guest.
