About this episode
We sit down with Nick Freitas, military veteran, commentator, and former Green Beret, to break down what so many comedians like Dave Smith get dead wrong about warfare, combat, and the real-world consequences of conflict.💥 When people with no battlefield experience talk geopolitics, it can sound insightful—but often, it's dangerously naive. Nick explains what’s missing from the conversation and why real-life experience matters more than hot takes when talking about war, Israel, and global conflict.📢 Drop a comment: Should war be something only veterans can comment on?
