Was super stoked to see AJ on here, thanks to the both of you for such a genuine, grounded, open minded conversation that's super wholesome

AJ… Watch Snap Publishing (YouTube) snappublishing (Rumble) snap.multi.media (Ticktock) Let me know what you think. (I’m shadow Banned on (Y/T) so rumble and (T/T) numbers are more accurate. If you’re into Authentic work it doesn’t get any more authentic than this.

I was going to put in a story of Da Nang AFB during the Tet. But it more about Agent Orange. What Civilians had to put up with. They will never see any money for the suffering they are going through. I feel for you AJ and Shawn.

My older brother who was there gave me that nickname of "Combat Kid" there is no disrespect to anyone at all it is just a nickname. I was 4 yrs old when I received it.

I was in Vietnam in 1974 and the later in another country was wounded three times. Spent almost a year in the hospital. I still to this day only receive 60%. disability due to reasons they will not tell me. 🤬

What an eye opener

Thank you Shawn & AJ for all that you do; you are both entertaining, insightful, cover the difficult-to-hear stuff and I applaud and appreciate you both. Now for my shtick: I'm a 13 year Veteran of the Army (and Veteran of the 160th '91-'95) but during my 2nd iteration of SFAS in '06, I suffered a career ending spinal injury. Group treated me as group does, no issues there, I get it, CM. But what followed from the MEB with a 20% Disability Rating and Medical Discharge was a real slap in the face - they said I'd never walk again without assistance, so why the 20%? Anyway, that was followed by Social Security and VA denying my claims for years only for SS to approve (at a judges personal order) Total Disability and the VA to later approve a 90% paid at 100% for unemployability but only after years of denials, beratement, misdiagnosis, and literally attacking me with letters and harassing phone calls from VA doctors for my asking for assistance. Here's the kicker - the the Army's final approval for Medical Retirement only came AFTER the Commanding General of the Special Operations Care Coalition personally called the Commander of the Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR), vouched for my service and character within the community - in all it took 7 years, 3 months and 21 days of denial after denial. I was fighting for my life, the lives of my wife and three children and the multitude of Veterans that were and are still waiting for care. My old boss said that I was the epitome of the NCO Creed and I would have considered it a dereliction of my duties to not fight for myself and those that are unable to - but I didn't then and still don't have the platform or connections despite all of my efforts. I continue to suffer from a plethora of debilitating conditions and receive ZERO care from the VA. The VA and the process has failed me and so many others. And despite letters, calls, news interviews, contact with Veteran orgs, Congressmen and Senators - we're still left wanting. I guess that my point is that very few people have as much exposure and influence in the unearthly realm of Veteran Benefits and it would be nice to have strong voices of change leading the way. I pray for each of your continued successes. Be well, CM & NSDQ!

Hi (you mentioned not touching J6 on this because there was nothing to add). I’ve figured out January 6—and it’s footage neither side will touch. A British film crew led the Proud Boys to breach the Capitol just before 1. The official event didn’t finish until well past 1 and was over a mile away. Then they stormed it for the cameras. I’m very disappointed that the shadow campaign launched by the very people who infiltrated the right fooled everyone. The entire ‘political prisoner event’—as if the feds don’t screw you if you help them pull something like that. Anyhow…Here is the footage that was erased but I recovered via the wayback machine. https://rumble.com/v5xi1rb-jan-6-footage-eddie-block-bad-wifi-in-dc.html

Shawn, AJ said he doesn’t get into the flat earth theory and you mentioned that this topic was interesting. I’m somewhere in the middle on this and it wasn’t that long ago that I called flat earthers completely nuts… I think an interview with “Flat Earth Dave” would be very eye opening and open some interesting theories! The globe theory essentially keeps our mind closed to exploration and inhibits ones ability to critically think; starting at a young age. If you ask someone that is 100 years old if the earth is flat or round they will tell you flat. If you ask a five year old, they will tell you it is round, duh, stupid… almost as if the five year old is programmed from day one.
