The Scuttlebutt | Season 2 Episode 2
On this week’s episode of the Scuttlebutt, we ask the question: How do we bridge the military-civilian divide? Listen to our discussion of this topic with Marine Corps veteran Haya Eason, Army veteran Ryan Ahl, and Gold Star Wife Becky Nyren. We also look at US military involvement in Tunisia, talk about the latest military headlines, enjoy some scuttlebutt, and of course, discuss who we want to win Super Bowl LV (get ready for some unpopular opinions…)
If you’re listening to the audio version of this week’s episode we suggest tuning into the video version for the full effect at veteransbreakfastclub.org/scuttlebutt.
