I am a disabled veteran who questions why anyone would go to war for a system that mistreats its service members. The military brainwashes you, makes you pay for your uniform, and then discards you like trash. They don't take care of the American people, service members, or veterans. It's a betrayal.

All the what-ifs and scenarios created in your mind disappear when you take action and start moving forward. The moment before action can feel like a million years. Driving to a target, you think about everything that could go wrong: a guy getting wounded, IEDs. But once you stop the vehicle and start doing the thing, all those worries disappear. The answer is to just go.

In 2004, returning veterans received minimal support, such as being shown the movie "The Horse Whisperer." While progress has been made in the last four years due to advocates, more change is needed. Senator Wellstone's advocacy for mental health parity and destigmatization is relevant to current efforts. Untrained individuals discriminate against soldiers who admit to mental health struggles. The speaker, a former first sergeant, understands this discrimination firsthand.

I'm making this video because it's almost 1 a.m. and I'm across the street from the recent Michigan State shootings. I'm 21 years old and this is the second mass shooting I've experienced. The first was the Sandy Hook shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, where I suffered a PTSD fracture in my lower back. Now, whenever I'm in a stressful or aggressive situation, my PTSD flares up. It's incomprehensible that I've lived through two mass shootings. My heart goes out to the victims' families and friends, but we can't just offer love and prayers anymore. We need legislation and action to stop this. We can't be complacent. I'll always be Sandy Hook strong and Spartan strong.

I don't want to fight in a war that has nothing to do with us, and most people in the military feel the same. People join the military to improve their lives, not because they want to risk their lives for the country. Many veterans suffer from physical and mental disabilities after serving, and I even know someone who took their own life due to mental issues. So, am I a coward for not wanting that? Don't call me names like "pussy" or "low testosterone" just because I'm not interested in fighting. I'm tall and hairy, and liking men doesn't mean I have low testosterone.

Eric Frohardt - DEVGRU Operator: "You Don't Buy a Spot at SEAL Team 6, You Rent It" | SRS #313
Guests: Eric Frohardt
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Eric Frohardt reflects on a life shaped by the Navy and by faith, describing his upbringing in Sac City, Iowa, on a farm with parents who emphasized responsibility, discipline, and respect. After watching G.I. Jane, he decided to enlist in the Navy rather than continue college football, training through a delayed entry program marked by self-made workouts and farm-based conditioning. At boot camp he faced extreme side pain that was later linked to kidney issues. He chose BUD/S through the SEAL challenge path, where he learned that success cannot be predicted by appearance or measurements alone, and that resilience comes from understanding what the job requires and being willing to do the work. He recounts experiences from Hell Week, including severe pain and misdiagnosis that made training especially difficult, then describes the transition into SEAL service with a culture he learned to appreciate at Team 5. After the September 11 attacks, he details moving from pre-9/11 routines into rapid combat preparation, including shipboard boardings and operations with intense risk at night, in rough waters, and around complex equipment and hazards. During later sniper training he struggled through undiscovered medical problems, then describes losing a kidney after procedures for a ureter stone. Frohardt discusses his family life, meeting and marrying his wife before later deployments, and balancing long absences with devotion to marriage and fatherhood. At DEVGRU he explains standards for performance and safety, emphasizing humility, preparation, and daily “rent” for a place on the team. He shares war stories that include a disastrous assault following a teammate’s death, and he connects his coping with prayer, Bible reading, and journaling. After leaving the military, he pursued business, consulting, and speaking, and encourages veterans to take an initial “base hit” rather than waiting to feel fully ready.

“Mars Had Alien Life” (Ft. Joe McMoneagle)
Guests: Joe McMoneagle
reSee.it Podcast Summary
McMoneagle asserts he has about 60 photographs of Martian things that are clearly alien and asks, Is it possible that there was a civilization on Mars thousands of years ago? He cites a square on Mars that is real and describes a 3 ft long object, plus pyramidal places that are like hibernation chambers to survive until someone saves them. He adds that he remote viewed a pyramid on Mars a million years ago and emphasizes the possibility of life on Mars and artifacts that challenge conventional narratives. He introduces himself as remote viewer number one and recalls being part of the Stargate program, noting the Legion of Merit for over 200 instances that contributed to Military Intelligence. He explains that everybody is born with it and recounts training, testing, and early experiences in the Army, Vietnam, and intelligence work, including learning Morse code under pressure and rising to high ranking roles. He details how combat and high-stress environments sharpen situational awareness, and how he learned to separate ego from perception to receive information more clearly. McMoneagle describes the DoD’s remote viewing program, its early experiments, and the transition from Pat Price and Ingo Swann to later methods. He recounts a session with Bob Monroe that produced six of seven targets described accurately, including Mars targets labeled Mars 1 Million BC. He explains his frustration with ground truth verification, then describes obtaining negatives from JPL to corroborate the Mars targets, including pyramids, an old fort, and a straight-edged cavern with wiring, concluding that the negatives show precisely what he described and that the measurements (e.g., shadow lengths) imply massive structures like a 3,000 ft high crater wall and a far larger pyramid. He notes the negative images are heavily worn but clearly non-natural, implying deliberate construction. McMoneagle pivots to Mars science and public skepticism: methane detections, salty water, and the once-thought magnetosphere history that could have supported ancient life. He references Sedona and other Mars regions where researchers have claimed engineered-looking features, including square structures and giant pyramids, and contrasts official explanations with alternative interpretations. He discusses how a small fraction of Mars imagery may reveal artificial constructs, while conceding our data is incomplete since we have only mapped a tiny fraction of the surface. He mentions famous high-profile claims and counterclaims about life, and notes politicians, presidents, and scientists who have engaged with Mars questions. The interview expands to extraterrestrial hypotheses, including Haim Eshed’s Galactic Federation claim, three alien bases (over-the-horizon radar sites), and views on whether aliens are human or non-human in origin. McMoneagle expresses views on whether aliens might stabilize humanity or reflect our own evolving intelligence, arguing that humans must improve and that space intelligence could reflect interstellar dynamics. He recounts widespread beliefs in ufology, including Roswell-era lore and the possibility that some UFO encounters are non-biological or robotic in nature. He emphasizes epistemological tensions: science, skepticism, and belief systems competing over unexplained phenomena. The conversation repeatedly returns to broader lessons: the power and limits of remote viewing, the importance of rigorous process and protocol (dont rely on ego, down analyze rather than overanalyze), and the potential for intelligence work to be both offensive and defensive. McMoneagle relays dramatic examples—MX missile targeting, submarine reconnaissance, and near-death experiences that shaped his worldview—ending with reflections on the meaning of life, consciousness, and the possibility that Mars and humanity share a longer, intertwined history. He closes by describing the Mars images, the challenges of verification, and the enduring lure of unexplained mysteries that keep surfacing in science, policy, and imagination.

Steve Bunting’s conversation charts a life defined by early trauma, relentless grit, and a turning point that reframes pain into purposeful service. He recounts a chaotic childhood in Alabama shaped by abuse, instability, and an uncle’s brain cancer, moments that forged an emotional armor and a hardened belief that hope could be earned only through personal triumph. The narrative then moves to his Navy career as a corpsman attached to Recon and later to MARSOC, where intense training, high-stakes deployments, and the soul-crushing realities of war tested him at every turn. He describes the brutal progression through pipelines like BUD/S-adjacent paths, the weight of combat experiences in Afghanistan, and the uneasy ballet of working with partner forces whose loyalties and abilities could destabilize operations. Through it all, Steve reveals how the battlefield training and the camaraderie of peers sharpened his resolve even as he carried hidden wounds from childhood into adulthood. The turning point arrives with psychedelic-assisted and other therapeutic work that rekindles a long-dormant sense of self and spiritual connection. He shares a candid arc from intense self-reliance and denial to embracing healing modalities, first for himself and then for his partner and family, culminating in a vocation that blends coaching, therapy, and veteran advocacy.
