00:04:21.000BeardVet co-founder is an American disabled veteran, USMA Charlie Battery 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, and an American badass.
00:05:03.000By the way, I was in a bar all day, as you can tell by my inebriation.
00:05:08.000He says, as you can tell by my inebriation.
00:05:10.000Um, and where were the, where was the war shit?
00:05:16.000Like, ESPN had a very minor shout-out to the military, but if you told someone, if you told a millennial that it was Veterans Day today, I don't think they'd know.
00:05:29.000Now, I'm not looking for accolades, I'm not looking for shout-outs, I'm not looking for a thank you for your service, but I did watch Saving Private Ryan tonight with the family.
00:08:45.000I think they were... There's aerial battles all over the place, right?
00:08:48.000There's a scene in the movie where Tom Hanks looks over, I think it's at the pilots that could have been saving their lives, and they're eating roast beef sandwiches.
00:14:47.000The NDP party in Canada is spending their whole sort of campaign on the fact that Proud Boys are a white supremacist group, and the founder is from Canada, and they have to
00:15:07.000Prevent that from happening again, I guess.
00:16:00.000Incredible day and let's let's just separate it from politics separate it from I didn't like that war.
00:16:05.000I didn't like Vietnam Imagine your job is to go to work where you can die now cops have that What about black people every time they get in their car they could die shut the fuck up.
00:16:16.000That's not true Firemen yes, they can die and I definitely have them in a category way the fuck above me but soldiers they're even above that and
00:16:28.000And these pussies who criticize them or criticize anything about them, they're just pure cowardice.
00:16:36.000Like, it's a level of courage we can't imagine.
00:16:39.000I can't imagine with my gun going over, you know, the fucking sand dune, the grassy knoll, the hump in the land, knowing that I could just fucking get drilled at any moment.
00:21:24.000Here in North Carolina, Tom Tillis, he, I guess, officially, if you will, won today.
00:21:32.000Cal Cunningham, the Democrat, conceded.
00:21:35.000That's a plus for the Senate race, so I guess it comes down to Georgia as far as control of the Senate.
00:21:42.000But a military thing, and, you know, they give Donald Trump shit about, you know, shin splints or whatever that, you know, he got deferments from Vietnam, but Biden, I believe he got deferments for asthma.
00:24:04.000Don't you think that um, you know, we have these low death tolls with the Middle East and then we have obviously a high death toll in the Civil War with 620,000, but you look at the numbers and so many of those guys died of dysentery and shrapnel and infection.
00:24:19.000Maybe these modern wars are just as bad as the Civil War, but our medicine is so good that it's giving us a funny count.
00:24:30.000And, you know, there's a lot more people are living today because of, you know, medical advancements, and they kind of refer to it as the golden hour.
00:24:40.000If somebody's able to get to a trauma hospital, whether that be at, like, Bagram Airfield or, you know, somewhere where there's a trauma hospital, basically, and able to receive care within the golden hour, they generally, I think it's like a 50% chance of living, which is very good if you have a, you know,
00:25:00.000Massive internal injuries or losing limbs, that kind of thing.
00:25:03.000Well, as someone who's served in Saving Private Ryan now twice, at least twice, maybe probably three or four times, I noticed in the movie that they have mere seconds to survive.
00:27:03.000Hey, um, you know, it's really hard being a veteran, walking around, seeing all these civilians and knowing, you know, they've never been through it, you know?
00:27:14.000They've never watched Apocalypse Now, Surround Sound, and they'll never know what it's really like.
00:27:22.000As a fellow war movie vet, we both are in a different group, a different dimension almost.
00:27:32.000And you know what the worst part for guys like you and me who've watched tons of war movies is, we try to get back after we watch the movie, we try to get back into society and we're like, you haven't seen it, you can't relate.
00:29:17.000And I look over at my son, my middle son, and he's looking at me, and it's weird to see your dad cry, obviously, especially when he's a dick to you 99% of the day.
00:29:27.000And he sees me going... And then I noticed he was going like this.
00:31:41.000Yeah, now the problem with all this Zoom shit with school is I'm never alone with my wife.
00:31:46.000I used to get a whole Wednesday where I could have lingerie, whatever I wanted, and I would shoot a load that would burn holes in the wall.
00:31:54.000And now, I'm never alone in the house.
00:34:41.000And there's a thing where like say you want to get in a flight, you come back and they take your home phone number.
00:34:48.000Not your cell number, your home phone number.
00:34:51.000So say you get a round trip to Florida, which by the way, the flights are 20 bucks.
00:34:56.000So you fly to Florida, you come back, they get your home phone number, they check it while you're there, and then you have to stay there for two weeks.
00:35:08.000You have to have done a test three days before the flight in Florida.
00:35:14.000And if it's negative, if it's positive... Actually, I don't really understand this.
00:37:44.000They're so pro-animal that they ended up being pro-human and pro-life and they were against abortion.
00:37:50.000And then you had Gangrene with Budweiser on their fucking album covers and you had Forgotten Rebels doing Bomb the Boats and Feed the Fish.
00:38:36.000Maybe bad religion was the beginning of this shithole.
00:38:39.000And all of a sudden it was about political correctness.
00:38:43.000And by the time we leaked into the late 90s, the early aughts, things were starting to stink.
00:38:50.000But I would say punk still clung to a sense of anarchy well into the early 2000s.
00:39:02.000But then, I don't know, this is pre-Trump.
00:39:05.000During Obama's presidency, I'd say, you started getting these fucking dogmatic assholes who wanted to shut you down if you didn't support the socialist status quo.
00:39:16.000What's the band, the Communism Now Boys, that band?
00:39:23.000Real Communism Now or something they're called?
