Boom! (E307)
Added 2025-01-15 03:26:43 +0000 UTC2025 is off to an absolutely nightmarish start as the boys huddle around the microphones and try to process not only the ongoing historical LA wildfires that have destroyed over 12,000 structures and killed at least 24 people, but also the horrific content they had originally planned: The domestic terrorist attacks that were committed on New Years Day in New Orleans and Las Vegas. If that somehow wasn’t enough, they’ll also be discussing the recent fatal police shooting of the infamous “pizzagate” gunman.
We cover it all in our first main episode of 2025: domestic terrorism, ecological disaster, and even war crimes. Our guest is Mike Prysner of the podcast Eyes Left, the documentary Gaza Fights for Freedom, and the QAA episodes on Tulsi Gabbard.
Thanks for subscribing to QAA on patreon.

2025-01-27 00:20:34 +0000 UTCOne of the most interesting/scary types of military enlists is the guys who are already radicalied and join specifically to get training to do militia/terrorism stuff once they get out. Molly Conger's Weird Little Guys podcast introduced me to that type of guy, highly recommend.

2025-01-18 06:07:19 +0000 UTCI know we’re supposed to be sympathetic towards troops today but how do you fail to kill yourself 3 times? Don’t these guys have guns? Sounds like a teenage girl swallowing 12 advil and calling 6 friends and calling it an attempt. Like I’m sorry that you did something horrible and that’s super hard for you (let’s not think about the actual victims because they’re dead) but you could have just refused to do that.

hhhhhm
2025-01-17 10:33:22 +0000 UTCYour guest made a point of military members not wanting to seek help based on the stigma of mental health. As someone with a top secret clearance with full lifecycle poly, I can attest to the fact that the LAST thing you want to do (once you have that level clearance) is talk to the government about mental health problems.

The constant cloud of death and despair is very real, even as a civilian. It’s still palpable to me when I drive home to visit my family. Thank you to Mike for promoting ex-military anti war organizations. We need more of that.

2025-01-16 23:13:41 +0000 UTCIt happens so frequently I’m not even sure what/where he’s referring to, but here’s a notable case that in the Navy right now where a sailor in 2019 told his CO to his face that he wanted to commit, and his CO (to his sailors’ face) told him he thought he was bluffing. That CO was not punished and has since been promoted https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2021/09/30/how-a-military-jail-failed-to-protect-a-suicidal-sailor-from-himself/

2025-01-15 17:04:54 +0000 UTCCoincidentally I started reading "Directorate S" by Steve Coll. It's gonna take me months to finish but I'm finally starting to dig into the GWOT stuff. I was a sophomore in HS in early 2000s many of my friends enlisted and I lost track of them after graduation. I'm at a place in life now that I can reflect on my formative years and read 800 page books to learn more about a war that spanned over half my life. Weird times.
Patrick Hill
2025-01-15 17:02:48 +0000 UTCMy partner served in the Army (medical, stationed in S. Korea during COVID). When he was back state side I went to stay with him for Memorial Day weekend in Yuma on base. It's empty, desolate, and he had to be on suicide watch for 18 years olds with absolutely nothing to do but play Call of Duty in stark barrack apartments. Practically no one around for miles. It's so surreal how little concern was shown for these young people

2025-01-15 16:26:23 +0000 UTCTrying not to sound so dramatic, but when I learn of these incidents of violence, and learn that a lot of it is being perpetuated by military veterans, it scares me. I’m a veteran. I deal with my own issues of depression and feeling worthless, but I don’t have any desire to hurt anyone. I guess I’m gonna have tokeep my veterans status a secret in town.

I have Syrian friends who are radical leftists and who are now finally back in Syria after 14 years of exile working with or in opposition to the new government to push for progressive policies. It’s a very complicated situation
Elia Ayoub
2025-01-15 04:58:39 +0000 UTCI think it’s also important to note that in order to enlist, you’re not allowed to be on meds or in therapy. You have to be off meds and out of therapy for a certain amount of months in order to enlist. I have a relative who was diagnosed and then discharged just shy of being being considered a veteran with benefits, so it really sucks.
