Army talk about [ __ ] probably we’re going to get into it let’s get real started right now John welcome to the program thanks so much for having me appreciate it Kyle all right so eventually we’re going to tell people about this uh this new military declaration for accountability which you

Are one of the signatories to I’ll just want to tease that out there up front but let’s get started with who you are as a person we can already see from the photos behind you and maybe I tease it out to the audience uh tell me where you

Grew up where you’re from tell me a little bit about yourself sure so I was B Los Angeles California um and moved around a good bit and parents unfortunately split up when I was six like many people divorced at nine and I ended up just moving around a ton so a

Different school every year since about um I don’t know maybe third grade or something like that uh and was raised generally Protestant um my mom was raised Catholic left the church when she was a teen and dad was pretty faithful took me to church in a weekly basis so

At the age of 12 I lived with him in California he took me to a Presbyterian church weekly and ended up just wanting to make that more part of my life so when I went back to live with my mom Catholic Church nearby so was able to

Start going to mass I was also transferred to a Catholic High School because my mom did not like the public school I was going into maybe not doing the best in school things like that so starting going to the Catholic School loved everything the religion teacher was teaching going to mass and even

Though I had I was just Episcopal right before or going to an episcop alen Church there was some spiritual element to the Catholic faith that I had not experienced anywhere else and it was especially powerful looking back because that church had plenty of lurgical abuse so for those who aren’t Catholic that

Means that the priest isn’t doing what he should be doing in the Liturgy there’s a certain reverence that you’re supposed to give to God so when Catholics come to mass the purpose of it is to to there’s like four ends but it’s to adore go God to give him Thanksgiving

To ask for atonement for your sins and then ask for petitions but the glorifying god part can be diminished with some of this lurgical abuse when when priests aren’t doing what we believe was the mass ly handed on from Jesus Christ and passed on to the apostles so even though went through

That with the priest leaving the priesthood eventually um there was just that spiritual element so I became Catholic and I soon started thinking about the priesthood after when a priest at high school came and said I was a student here so maybe one day one of you

All will be a priest like me and then it was just classic ignatian kind of discernment St ignatious lyola fantastic Saints just did an 8 day ignation Retreat which is fantastic but he said that God leads you through peace through Joy consolation the devil leads you

Through um just fear anxiety so just me being 15 hearing about that the peace about bringing God to people people to God and just making that part of your life and identity but then as a 15-year-old boy thinking man I’ll never get married other thing 15y old other

Things 15 year olds are thinking about so you know not gonna do that either yeah it’s a tough burden to throw on though too as a 15 old yeah yeah and just never being Catholic and just thinking that was the automatic thing and that I want to get married so so bad

But hey I’m still single 35 so I don’t know what what’s going on anyway so ended up becoming Catholic um and not really understanding the Catholic faith super well because the rcia program which is right of Christian initiation for adults that’s the program that Catholics do in order to become Catholic

Wasn’t the most solid like many of them unfortunately in the church today so ended up going to I knew I wanted to go in the military as early as high school I wanted to use the gifts God Gave Me In order to serve the greater good and I

Thought with just kind of physical capabilities leadership capabilities love of country willingness to do dangerous things leadership that that was kind of the route I wanted to explore and 911 happened I was living in Alexandria Virginia my stepdad he was stationed at Fort belar so it was very

Personal to me and it was extremely scary to see that smoke coming from the from the Pentagon and just to get on to Fort belar right after I mean it was extremely real um very intense so at any rate ended up going through Wheaten college did Ro CC studied chemical

Physics and it’s a Protestant Evangelical school so it was really good for me to defend my faith to have to read Scott Han books um Patrick uh Madrid books to kind of defend and through that love the church more and that kind of Desire or thought of the priesthood continued to develop so

Commissioned in the Army in 2011 and put in for the chaplain candidate uh program so went to Seminary for four years a fantastic experience that was with the arch dasis Washington DC with the understanding that I would join the military to serve as a Chaplain so priesthood is first that’s your big

Vocation what God calls you to uh where he puts you within his mystical body to serve him and just through that whole experience is fantastic you’re growing in prayer you’re studying Philosophy for two years studying theology for two years recently finished up my theological studies and got my masters

In December um in Systematic Theology but it was just a fantastic experience but at the end of the day day through just kind of prayer discernment um doing a great so a lot of people have heard of The Exodus 90 program um maybe some people who are NE not necessarily Catholic wouldn’t have

Heard of it but it’s a 90-day period of prayer and fasting and it was started by Father Brian dor who is a vice Rector of the Seminary at the time so I was very blessed to do that program with him before it just exploded and it was app

For everybody um because he was in the Seminary and when I told him hey I’m not sure what I’m doing brought me in had me do that and it was just a very peaceful joyful kind of experience Discerning out and I found out Easter Monday that I was

Branched active duty infantry and I thought it was going to get stuck in reserves or something like that I had even thought oh man I’m 27 I’m so old how am I going to uh you know get through Ranger school things like that but I obviously did that and then the Q

Course but thought saw as God loves me he’s blessing me but he wants to challenge me so ended up going through yeah got branched infantry so ibic Ranger School uh Ranger school definitely took a bit longer um so usually it’s two months and I guess I’ll get into training a little bit so

Because I got I got a question here you you’re in seminary you’ve decided and then you’ve done this this Retreat and then you’ve got orders to go infantry as not a priest right so so I did the I did The Retreat actually uh summer this last

Summer so I got out of the army July 1 and I did a eight day silent ignation retreat um just kind of furthering my love for Ignatius but it was just kind of doing this this prayer throughout the Seminary and a lot so Catholic Seminary it’s not just you going to class you’re

Living there you’re praying I think we added it up it’s like three hours a day because you’re praying the Psalms you’re praying the Liturgy the hours might be an hour of your day you’re going to mass half hour 45 minutes you’re praying the rosary you’re doing a mental a holy hour

Which is mental prayer which is you talking to God God talking to you reading spiritual books so it is just an atmosphere to just soak up and understand and know God personally and that is so key right now to the problems that we’re facing I mean our politicians

Aren’t going to fix this we might not even be supposed to fix it you know it might just be God allowing this in order to purify us because the spiritual order is more important so we’re supposed to fight we’re supposed to be faithful and it’s kind of in discernment in prayer

Understanding what is God’s will for you specifically how does he want you to integrate yourself into society starting at the lowest level individually family and Beyond but what does he want you to do um so so yeah kind of getting back back to your point so I discerned out

And when I knew I was going to leave the Seminary I had to let the Army know that hey I need to pay back my ROTC scholarship I’m not going to be a priest so you have to put me into a different branch and that those were the Obama

Years so I thought I was going to get reserves or something stupid I had actually put infantry armor and ordinance as my top three choices thinking okay if I get let’s just try EOD or something like that so just thinking combat arms and even though I

Tried to switch it to armor because I was a little nervous about Ranger school still got infantry so s it as God still wanting to challenge me so did got out of the seminary in the uh September of uh or sorry spring of 2015 and then

Start my army career in the fall got it all right let me let me uh have you kind of give my audience a real reflection on this concept combat arms Seminary and priesthood where’s the overlap in there because I I think there is one I think

There’s a lot but I’m curious what you saw and how you saw those two as being maybe you know different sides of the same coin or how you saw it yeah ultimately you’re trying to glorify God and that’s kind of the ultimate end in this world is the glorification of God

And the salvation of Souls and you’re you’re moving towards a certain purpose and it’s a different fraternity but they’re both very strong fraternities the fraternity of semin Ian where you’re with a bunch of dudes who are planning on being celibate too and you’re hanging out and you know when you’re willing to

Give that up if you’re just a normal red-blooded American or or or man uh that’s a lot to give up to decide you’re not going to have a family or to discern that so you you Bond extremely tight and having that worldview that Catholic worldview so tight really helps you

Focus and go to a certain purpose um and you are enduring hardship and suffering so I think that there’s challenges and there’s there’s definitely an accepting of the cross I think I told some guys in Ranger school about some of the sacrifices I made in seminary or during

Exodus 90 and they said oh you know Ranger school will be nothing or you know a little joke joke about that that’s totally not the case I think I was actually in Ranger school and I was thinking man there’s way worse things than celibacy holy cow um starvation right and but yeah I

Think the fraternity that you’re working for a certain purpose that you are sacrificing of yourself and you’re using a lot of different gifts you have to have a lot of kind of those soft skills so there’s definitely technical skills that you have to have I think for infantry even

Though they’re there a lot of them are boiled down more towards a common sense kind of active communication getting along with people similar I think with the priesthood you have to have that certainly it’s different technical skills but the soft skills that you have carry over extremely

Well I like that I like that a lot okay so you you end up getting infantry and did you have a path did you have a a uh Special Forces contract that was part of that or they just said you’re going to the Infantry and then we’ll see what

Happens I was told regular Army infantry and then I worked it out with them what Duty station I had so I was able to get Fort Carson um but I went to Fort Benning Georgia forever Fort Benning forget what um you know changing names for racist generals sorry you’re making

Me want to be more just kidding I don’t even know that it I know that it changed only because you told me again but I forget and it’ll always be for Penning yeah for sure um but at any rate when went to Fort Benning did 16-week infantry basic officer

Leadership course and for those who aren’t familiar with the concept of the Infantry that’s where you’re planning to that’s what you think of when you think of the military that’s just the ground force within 300 meters that’s what you have to employ in order to occupy land

To uh destroy close with and destroy the enemy so your your beginning job as an infantry officer is being a platoon leader and you can be M toed or given up to 40 soldiers underneath you so you’re thinking a lot of these young 22 dud dudes get through college boom you know

There’s your infantry platoon uh so you you kind of work up the maneuver so you do kind of like your basic skills of rifle Marksmanship um your individual skills moving up to like team live fire exercises Squad platoon and then you’re doing uh more kind of complex uh

Exercises maybe in getting in as well armor assets or things something like that so kind of combined arms kind of things so um that was that was a good school very interesting and then Ranger school is just School of Hard Knocks where it’s just repetitions and you

Don’t sleep much you don’t eat much um there’s three different phases and you know I’ll eat some Humble Pie and say there’s some things that I was not good at that I needed to improve on and learn from so it’s 2 months if you don’t recycle a lot of people recycle um but

Most people don’t take five months but it took me five months I got through bending phase fine Mountain phase I was injured halfway through it was just like four or five days in my legs maybe if they’re like this big you know we swollen maybe like an inch or two larger

And I was diagnosed with stress fractures in both my shins so I could try to finish up so I wanted to try to finish up to see if I could at least recycle into the next phase didn’t get a go most of the platoon didn’t get a go

You you pass or fill together as platoon you know you guys have to the guys have to gel well together and it’s your first phase through you might just get two looks to get a go if you’re a recycle they’ll try to frontload you give you

The easier options to kind of get get ahead I mean I had an easy option when I got done with uh when I went into the mountain phase they gave me platoon leader planning which is great everybody’s a little more fresh awesome but at any rate it was a great

Experience and let’s say you had 26 days of patrolling if you made it right through well I had 46 days of patrolling and that’s you you learn it you you just absorb it it’s fantastic so as much as it sucks it is a good school where you

Really learn a lot about yourself what you can do I mean you’re maybe two hours of sleep a night and you’re having like two meals a day two MREs a day and in some phases it’s the M sleep and an M you got to imagine if your stomachs are

Shrinking that much it’s hard to fill yourself up but then you’re just so hungry after and we joke that was a pleasure sandwich and as far as like the difficulty of military training if you don’t understand what it’s like to like sweat ammonia because you’re burning muscle because you just don’t

Have anything left or to fall asleep while walking I mean you haven’t physically pushed yourself and that’s just something that I think every single person experienced in Ranger school at some point in time so yeah Ranger school Airborne school yeah I’ve done a little bit of that I’ve done the rabdo uh I’ve

Oh wow I have no love for it but yeah you’re right you find out where your limits are and uh and those are important because if you don’t know where your limits are you can be really lethal in a in a downrange environment obviously yeah so okay so you rap Ranger

School that that sounds grueling by the way to do five instead of two sounds like you got the full both barrels of the Ranger school experience and and then what next where does it where does that lead you to so then Airborne school then went to Fort

Carson and when I was at Fort Carson um I was about to promote to Captain just because it was kind of weird coming from Seminary as a Chaplain candidate into active duty so as was a first lieutenant through my training that gave me a very short and period of time at my first

Duty station so quickly made the decision to try out for Special Forces part of it was knowing other green bra through rer School thinking man these guys are really cool man these bat boys are really uptight or that refers to ranger battalion yeah I was going to say

Break break down the difference for people so the word Ranger there uh some people know it’s like tab or scroll uh but if you don’t know what that means maybe tell people what that means so Ranger can refer to two things it can refer to the school or can refer to

Ranger regiment now Ranger regiment is an elite infantry unit you have three Ranger battalions and they are just they are in Elite infantry unit now special forces are special we do special em missions we work by Within through partner forces the way we’re structured and organized there’s five different

Special Forces groups that focus on the different Continental commands they do so they can focus in different region so my region was Central and South America that’s why I had to learn Spanish so unlike every other Special Operations unit we have to learn the language uh of

The people and I mean CA scap yes they learn the language but um so with Rangers specifically you have the unit and to go to the unit as an officer you have to be Ranger qualified now Ranger school is the two-month or longer school that you have

To go to uh in order to be in Ranger regiment if you are a sergeant and above or if you’re an officer now you can go straight in as a ranger enlisted to Ranger regiment and you go through rasp or Ranger assessment selection program which they just beat the crap out of you

And then when you get to Ranger regiment you still suck because you don’t have a ranger tab so you have to then go to Ranger school and they’re just in Elite infantry unit I mean they go they do a lot of stuff with Delta um extremely talented just meat eating people um and

It’s just a very aggressive kind of I think atmosphere environment very solid um I think I think I saw some funny meme about them getting up at 6 o’clock working out other things like that working out again and then SF sleeping until noon you know you know drinking

Hanging out whatever but we we very much in Special Forces we work by Within through partner forces so they’re much more unilateral kind of action and us is working with the partner force in order to be a force multiplier so our main since we’re just kind of getting into it

Special forces focuses on unconventional warfare which are activities taken to coers disrupt or overthrow and occupying power or government and that’s through using a resistance force um it’s through using an underground government um so we would essentially infiltrate into another country work with the resistance forces to whatever the occupying power

Or government are to overthrow them we do it in seven phases and we’d focus on it specifically in that country and that takes a lot of kind of specialized skills in training um that’s our culminating exercise actually at the end of Special Forces qualification course we have what’s called Robin sage which

Is a uh maybe three four weeks kind of total but maybe you’re in the state ofth Carolina and you’re pretending you’re overthrowing or getting rid of Virginia or something like that so working with resistance forces it might just be like college students that come out get paid

For a little bit get some training um running operations and it’s just you know every three days they jump to another month and another month so you can get all the phases but it’s just it’s such great great training and they base everything that happens off of real life experiences things that have

Happened to other Green Berets in different countries so just amazing uh training let me let me throw a an experience I had a buddy of mine was a uh was a Seer instructor for the Air Force and they did a joint exercise with these guys some of them were SF and some

Of them were were Rangers and so they set him out and they laid out the course they gave him the ground rules whatever it was you got to go from point A you got to get to point B you have a time limit you know not a

Lot of rules otherwise sort of just solve the problem in the best way that makes sense to you based on your training and your experience and so on and so uh my buddy he said he looked at the map he looked at who he was going

After and he was uh you know assess to to go after the ranger group and there was a dozen of these guys whatever they were doing this thing and it was I think it was like an Air Force versus army game they were playing back and forth so

They go to this thing he looks at the map he goes okay well the absolute hardest way to get here would be through all of that garbage brambles and briers and all this kind of stuff so I’m just going to post up on the other end of it

And we’re going to just catch them when they come sneaking out of the thing because they’re going to go well that’s the hardest way to get there nobody’s gonna go block it nobody will think it but if you understand how rangers think then that’s where you’re going to be so

Sure enough those guys come out and they’re cut it and they’re bleeding and they’re all jacked up and you know they’re all destroyed and uh and then the guys who were uh looking for the SF guys basically started watching buses uh because the possibility of catching a

Civilian bus on the street was kind of the move that they came up with I like it that’s great yeah yeah Thinking Outside differently you know one of them is like you said go through a brick wall for you if you told them which wall they’d ask you if there’s

Another one behind it so they know if they have to run faster kind of thing and then the other guys are looking like hey do we should we be you know finding a guy who lays brick and maybe put some softball for us or should we have somebody dismantle this wall before we

Get there or some other kind of options just really thinking outside the box so uh and I’ve got a number of buddies my last partner was a was a green ber in the FBI of all things and uh and the only reason that I think because like so

Many people that work in unconventional warfare he probably would have been like uh you know piss off I’m not gonna get this shot he just knew the Army wouldn’t let him deploy and he just that’s all he wanted to do with his life so interesting did it voluntarily and I

Think there were some people that did that I don’t have any hard feelings against those types but curious as you were going through so you you you’ve got this sort of like background you’ve got this uh one- side training and then you passed through what you go off to the Q

Course yeah so I get to uh fourth infantry division Fort Carson go to selection three weeks and not to spend too much time on training so that’s just kind of three weeks you get about 35% out at the end of it you get gate week so rock marches runs physical activities

IQ tests personality tests uh and then you have land nav and then you have Team week carrying more weight than you thought possible and I think we had we were eating like four or five MREs you know a day and still dropped like 20 pounds something stupid like that and

It’s just it’s pretty awful but they’re really just trying to assess you not trying to necessarily play stupid games so get through that go to the qualification course that’s a couple years already kind of went through I guess the more interesting training which is Robin sage also have to go

Through sear and obviously that’s pretty intense stuff that survival evasion resistance and Escape for anyone who is not familiar which they make pilot Special Operations folks and anyone who has a higher likelihood of being caught Behind Enemy Lines or having to survive they make them go through that school

And get done with that and go to military Freefall at the end of the qualification course at the end of language so six months of language training and Military freef fall happened in March of 2020 now what else was happening then you know covid so I wasn’t that worried about uh this

Disease when I’m jumping out of planes at 14,000 F feet that was definitely kind of the more scary thing for me uh but I get done with that I go back to Fort Brag we’re kind of being held a bit longer because we can’t PCS or move to

Our duty stations immediately because of the different restrictions that the military is placing on service members because we’re not sure how deadly this disease is So eventually get down to seven Special Forces Group uh June of 2020 and that’s when all the fun begins now as you’re going through some

Of this stuff you just mentioned that that really critical time frame in early 2020 you’re a pretty sharp guy you’re looking at the world you’re you’re focused on training but some of the stuff that you’re seeing externally what were you thinking about what we were hearing what were you assessing in real

Time as the information came in just kind of curious what your thoughts were if you can put yourself back there I thought what is it that we can actually help whether it’s dangerous or not what can we necessarily do that there’s certain things that are worse than death

Um and sure maybe it’s like a cold-like thing China’s obviously covering a lot of stuff up I thought it was pretty wild when people are were saying that it came from a bat or some kind of a weird thing in the forest and we know that there’s

This lab the Wuhan coronavirus lab you know named after it right so that’s pretty pretty uh interesting to me and it really hit home when I got back to Fort Brag and people the church was closed down the the bishop Bishop of Raleigh said no Mass no confession

Unless you’re near death and that was just insane and to see everything else that was opened up Home Depot other stores grocery stores liquor stores it it’s just it’s absolute insanity and then to see other people being extremely nervous or worried about it and I had some buddies who were kind of nervous

Because they said they were told that in their training if they get covid if they drop two cycles then they’re out so I can I can understand okay you’re worried about getting sick um but they were still nervous if I went to mass or was

Around them so it was just kind of this this sort of insanity and when I saw that religion was being slighted that’s when I thought there’s there’s something seriously wrong going on and just trying to think through how effective could this MK be how stupid is that kind of a

MK thing what’s the who’s actually getting sick right now so pretty I think the 2020 range we kind of knew that older people fat People you know it’s just like sorry you’re not taking yourself man you know you’re more susceptible but if you’re a young healthy dude you’re probably going to be pretty pretty okay and to just shut down stuff and to shut down the churches and that really pissed me off I

Mean I think one of the stories I was most frustrated with as far as the Catholic side of the house I usually prefer going to Latin Mass um but I go to both both forms I don’t go to you know not to get I don’t go to the sspx

Um that’s just you know my personal choice but love the traditional Latin Mass uh people who are not Catholic are like what the heck are you talking about so I’ll try to they know who they’re following right now so by listening to me they’ve got a little taste of this

Stuff okay yeah sounds good so it was pretty wild that um so I I was dating this chick we were going to a diff we usually go a Latin Mass but because I’m flying out on a Sunday we have to go Saturday night go Saturday night don’t

Wear masks going in get chased down by ushers and I like have to ask the priest hey father what’s the rule for for masking okay uh I noticed that you had this many candles on the Altar and you didn’t have a crucifix and this dude wasn’t wearing a stole so this kind of

Human madeup BS rule you’re fine in forcing and chasing people down but here’s these religious rules that God not directly but through the church is essentially telling you and you’re you’re kind of not following that so what does that say and actions speak louder than words so it was just

Incredibly sad to see so many Bishops fail us so many priests kind of fail us and great great term father Nolan WTF where’s the faith you just have to ask where’s the faith and it just wasn’t there I I had this uh this moment very similarly highly frustrated at that time

I was living outside of DC so same part of the country at least on the east coast and uh and my wife was considering converting to Catholicism having been raised with no religion at all and was born as a Catholic and so it was nothing

New to me but we were coming back to the church in many ways and and I’m going to this church and I found the most austere one that I could find and it was a traditional cruciform build and it was absolutely gorgeous and they had a great

Cry room which was really good that was big because we had little kids and we’re going to this uh we’re going to this mass and we’re regularly showing up and then suddenly the covid strikes and then they go every other Pew has to be blocked off only one family can be in

The cry room at a time like you can’t self assess your own risk and they were essentially driving people away and turning people away at the doors that you couldn’t come in and the thing that hit me and maybe this is because I was a

Latin scholar when I was a kid but I was very frustrated to think that the early Christians in Rome would have died rather than give up their their mass that was an option for them it was like uh would you like to show up uh go they would rather celebrate Mass down

With the petulent or the pestilent corpses and the rotting sort of debris of of dead people in catacombs rather than give up what they were doing and these people were scared of like a cold and they were wearing essentially a chainlink fence to stop mosquitoes because anybody who’s ever been through

The seab Burnie and the the chemical warfare understanding of like what is out there like what these basic things mean if you’ve ever done any biological warfare training or if you’ve ever been around Medics you know what does and doesn’t work and what people do and do

Not get sick from those masks were absurd I mean people were wearing like bandanas and you’re like oh that doesn’t work like like gu everything goes through that literally everything goes like if you can smell a fart through a pair of jeans I know that you’re going to be able to

Get a virus through the same thing but what a strange time right I mean we just saw people roll over and give up their faith or give up their practice of their faith if nothing else it was absolutely sad and Catholic Church shouldn’t be surprised when folks aren’t coming back

If that’s the example that the priests are giving Bishops are given I mean one of the nice things is that the more Orthodox priests who do believe their churches did grow expand and we’ve seen more people going to Latin Mass but um not that that’s the be all end all

Ultimately it’s you know glorifying God praise reverence serve him by this mean save your soul I think that that’s the better form to get there but you still can’t be weird you have to like you know that’s it let me throw thing at you think about this think about the

Recruiting tool that special forces is in the army or that buds is for the Navy or whatever um to to drag people who want to Aspire to something higher most of whom will fail percentage wise and then you think about what happened during the sort of Co lockdowns that

More people chose to go to a more austere and traditional mass than the ones that were laxidasical and had mask restrictions and were scared of each other and you know were willing to shut things down and all that and and I think that is such an interesting little just having the

Military background and having the faith background that people are not looking like what’s the easiest thing in the world who’s got the best coffee and the the nicest narx to go hang out and have Donuts in people are like what’s going to demand something of me and how do I

Serve in that way and how can I challenge myself as a human being because being a person is probably not enough for most of us it’s the challenge piece but it’s also I think the relational piece um relationship with God and when you’re told that you can

Watch Mass online and that there’s just kind of this blanket um I I don’t know what it was uh with the term of it but just blanket permission for people to not go during this time people yeah people just they miss God they want to be with God they

Want to worship worship Him and we’re just drawn to two challenging things um but drawn to a personal relationship with him which you experience more in a more reverent liturgy that’s how you experience the the good true and beautiful the transcendentals um you know God himself who became incarnate so

It’s it’s totally interesting and yeah it shows that making things easier for everybody is not necessarily good for society and that can take us into so many things with with techn ology with Comforts with I think Liberals are liberals a lot of it because they are just stuck in their universities and

Schools and have never had to do something difficult and I think Anthony elen wrote some you know great article or or book kind of on it or idea where even in the 1930s whatever if you’re trying to travel good chance your car is breaking down you have to go through some kind of

Adversity and the more you’re in touch with nature the more you see kind of God’s plan in nature We Believe through Romans 1 that God expresses himself through the created World created order where we can understand him and it’s it’s dealing with those those hardships but just seeing how common sense things

Work and we’re in a society right now where with with basically let’s say you have a car you can’t put sand in the gas tank and think it’s going to work yet that’s what we’re doing with our bodies with our basic functions with our sexualities and it’s just not good for

Us so we need to get outside we need to a lot of those practices that the church told us to do fasting uh regularly now we hear about intermittent fasting how great it is and you know it’s like well maybe God knew something that you didn’t so that’s that’s a really interesting

Point yeah it’s it’s it’s not exactly a New Concept and it was always a way to kind of experience the Divine or to purify yourself and then people do it for the same reason in a secular way it seems like so yeah maybe there was something to this all along yeah um you

You have a very different presentation than a lot of guy if anybody knows a lot of Green Berets they’re a mixed bag they’re an interesting group some are very reverent i’ I’ve got friends who are more Morman I’ve got friends who are Catholic I’ve got some that are totally

Just scumbags and are out there like running around and you know trying to slay chicks wherever they go in every on every continent kind of thing uh how did you fit into that kind of community of men and warriors I mean uh you’re not allowed to see my team

Chat um no I mean I love a spicy meme I love good jokes that are just you know off color because it’s funny man if it’s funny you have to say it so I I think um and I’ll just be straight up about who I am wise whatever even as an infantry

Officer too I think some guys were saying something I was saying something else I’m like hey don’t get offended at what I say I won’t get offended at what you say right so if I’m talking about religion we’re talking about other things so uh it was good I mean I love

My team it was just fantastic and it was great and I mean this will get back into the story of sort of what was happening but I got to seventh group and I get to my Battalion and my Battalion is deployed we were actually the last battalion to experience casualties um

During the Afghan war before the withdrawal um so battalions deployed the acting rear Battalion Commander is a transgender major and this is an individual who West Point gymnast like as a as a Green Beret as a captain you know dude children I mean you know pray for him pray for the family it’s

It’s a difficult thing but I was confronted with what do I do about this experience um I’m still guy transition I guess he he socially transitioned he just started dressing differently is that essentially what was going on so I never knew him before um but just kind of with you know the hair

Um and just change of name um and yeah I don’t know all the physiology but uh but at any rate you didn’t do the crocodile dundy check to make sure swoop no um nothing of that nature but I’m just kind of confronted with what do I do so I

Actually called Legal assistants to ask what am I legally required to call this individual and then she got back with me this this lawyer who if you’re listening to this don’t go to your Jag about problems your Jags work for your commanders go to Legal Assistance let

Them help you uh so went to legal assistance and she got back with me like a week later and said hey I reached out got to the level of the Pentagon I’m like whoa so this is obviously some kind of touchy thing and asked do you know

This person is going to be Commander I’m not sure was told you can call that person by Rank and last name that goes in accordance with this Army regulation however the individual will probably know what you’re doing and just be careful to not say anything negative you know behind this person’s back or

Whatever if that comes up and so I just did yes major such and such no major such and such how are you major such and such it was very awkward in conversations with other people about him because it’s like yes I was talking to Major such and such and major such

And such said to move major such and such things but that’s the game I tried to do and that actually put me for sure in the company I went into because he ended end up taking Alpha I went to Bravo I mean it’s it’s kind of a mess like the sergeant majors were

Supposed to go to different companies too because they were having trouble finding which Ser major would work with him and the one I got who iend not really getting along with super well was not really willing to work with this individual either um but that got me to

My team which was great very mixed bag personalities like SF dudes are a lot more libertarian got some Christian there but they’d probably politically be a Libertarian but just let leave me alone do whatever you wanted to morly whatever and uh just got kind of an Fu attitude from the team Sergeant

About shots my uh weren’t officer super conservative dude pretty fun um yeah so it it was just good so I mean we just get to that point and I just I knew that they didn’t get along with their last Captain so I made it a point to really work on that kind

Of building Report with them so it just kind of brote out just sent whatever memes out there had fun and yeah that kind of brought us to where the whole Co thing was happening where we knew a shot was coming out one of the first things I

Knew is that it used aborted fetal cells and as a Catholic I was under the the understanding that that is remote material cooperation so I cannot participate in that that moral act unless there’s a grave reason for it now my understanding continued to kind of developed as I went on

To looking at what is what is a how involved is it and I thought because it’s a baby that was killed in the 70s which is the human embryo kidney 273 that is kind of what these shots were rir from so we’re now in like early 2021

Shot is out I see that I’m the only officer who did not sign up to get it immediately because they were asking and for people to sign up and I’m like oh crap this is going to be interesting I saw my team that as your senior Raider which is the person who

Can approve or or kind of rank the guys that I’m not going to punish or reward them I personally don’t want to at least until it’s mandatory we just kind of go on so I just continued to learn more about it and kind of came to the

Realization that it’s not just the sin of murder but it’s also just murder and also the theft and continued theft of The Unborn child’s body and we have no right to that baby’s body parts um whenever a service member dies overseas we should do everything we can to bring

Their body back to inter it and to properly dispose the body because the body is something sacred so similar with these products from human embryo kidney 273 and what does that imply that implies there were 200 over 200 attempts to get children to harvest children at the point when a kidney was developed

It’s just barbaric the practices that they take and we’ve seen Planned Parenthood videos where they’re selling body parts and it’s absolutely demonic and we need to understand that politics isn’t just being nice it’s also a good versus evil and I’m not saying that Republicans are all good but there’s at

Least kind of like a breach head into into it where you know if if Rhino’s just stuck to the the ding principles we might be on that point but just kind of continuing to Cave so um just just got to that point team was getting harassed

Team Sergeant he got it pretty bad from the sergeant major the whole time for me it was just kind of career a lot of people don’t understand the pressure before the Mandate came out that was the worst time for me that was the most stressed I think I’ve been in most of my

Life and maybe may have had an easy life I don’t know but it’s what did that look like though I mean what what was the Implement that you were feeling that stress how did you discern it it was trying to make decisions for the team too and understanding that the team

Isn’t going to get the same missions or we’re being slighted so it’s feeling bad for the guys feeling bad for the team Sergeant he’s getting brought in two three times a week getting yelled at by this AR major for like an hour I was you know getting got yelled at him by him

Once whatever I just like wrote everything down like a good officer memorandum for record form boom you know I’ll bring that out if needed uh but but it’s like you’re screwing up your career you should look for work outside the Army um you’re not going to recover this

From this reputation wise I’m going to kick guys out of the company I’m going to put them in unwanted assignments I’m going to send them back to the schoolhouse to teach that’s not a threat that’s a promise if you lose a mission for this and it was put in you that

You’re you’re not gonna fit in if you’re not gonna if you’re not gonna conform right and that’s one of the issues with the military that it is kind of a ladder climbing process and right now when there’s not Wars or things that are extremely necessary to get done it’s

What do you need to do to conform to continue to climb the ladder and there’s a whole lot of saying the right things or doing the right things getting the right timeline and it’s a hierarchy that’s necessary it’s competence Hier hierarchy but there’s things that we

Need to change about it to kind of get rid of some of this yesman attitude and we’ve seen how the yesman attitude’s been ingrained how morality hasn’t been especially with regards to how this shot was implemented because I mean before the mandate came out I couldn’t even I

Was looking into how do I apply for religious exemption how do I apply for medical exemption I couldn’t do it that’s the thing there’s just no protection they’re just making whatever policies they want to try to force people to do it to the extent that they

Can and it wasn’t as bad for me as others I heard at Fort Brag for instance there was a Balian sergeant major who in front of a formation told the soldiers you can for those of you who’ve gotten the vaccine you can go over there you

Guys have the day off if not put your ruck zck on we’re going through for a grueling ruck march and that is absolute coercion punishment you can’t do that so for officers it’s much more kind of career bound where I would have to quarantine for longer for not having the

Shot versus someone who is vaccinated for a week or different masking requirements but mostly just that you’re identified as different and It ultimately came down to our team had a JS set which is a joint combined exercise training a six- week trip to a foreign country to do training and this

Is extremely important to get these trips as an officer you have maybe 18 months 24 months as a team leader to really make your mark and move on forward and as an officer that’s it unless you go Delta which sorry that’s not me man I mean some crazy dudes hats

Off to you that’s it as far as like deployments that kind of experience then you’re gonna be a company Commander next maybe where you’re expected to manage six teams and if you haven’t had a trip overseas how are you going to oversee the management of those teams if you

Don’t fully understand the capabilities of a Detachment and the first Special Forces command made it a policy decision where you needed to have the shot in order to deploy um and I mean before that even other team leaders started briefing when they went to brief the uh sock South

Special Operation command South uh this is our baseball card here’s here’s all the guys we have and we’re we have this many people vaccinated they’re like oh that’s cool yeah please keep saying that so it’s other SF other team leaders doing that to get ahead uh that’s kind

Of the Cutthroat nature of we’re still uh very competitive but we’re doing it in order to excel in our careers so that’s kind of what it looked like and with this this requirement we’re out doing military freef fall training Arizona um and this policy comes down

And talk to the company commander and he said hey John I know your team doesn’t want to get the shot but what’s it goingon to be is your team gonna get the shot or we G to take this Mission from you and I talked to the guys already and

I said Hey sir I only have one guy who’s willing to get it so I guess you have to take the mission from us he’s like oh okay I think you’re surpris about that but uh and then I asked unless you’re willing to accept natural immunity which

He said no we’re not willing to accept that risk which threw me off really pissed me off because we’re jumping out of planes at 14,000 feet with the oxygen equipment so what risk are you accepting well think about this though were you surprised by how few people were willing

To stand up and say no this isn’t for me because it’s kind of a contrarian type of group you talked about Libertarians leaving the hell alone that is my experience with with most operators they just it’s like I’m going to do what I’m going to do because it’s hard and

Because I can and because you can’t make me that was extremely frustrating with special forces because if our main mission is unconventional warfare which does employ uh psychological operations and understands how messaging works within foreign countries within trying to overthrow governments that I thought they would be able to see through this

[ __ ] and my team Sergeant I mean I love Rob Green so you were saying Catholic of the year he excels way way ahead of me um you know seven kids wrote the book still in active duty just amazing man um and you know here I am you know Perpetual single dude whatever

But you got time working on it any ladies watching your show no I’ll be right um so at any rate um where was I going with that no sorry yeah just the fact that people didn’t want to uh yeah yeah this is the group of people that

Looks through things and goes yeah we’re the ones who do SC or we have scops come with us and right we put stuff down we don’t fall for that crap it threw me off it really pissed me off because yeah my team Sergeant he said this is the only thing they’ve really

Made me try to do like said no there’s no other way around it usually you get an order you see if it makes sense if not you ask why should why are we doing this should we do this you’re trying to look into all those things we’re selected for

It and there there’s almost always a waiver I’ve never heard like this was the weirdest thing the federal government did the same thing so I I was in the same boat and what I knew was and maybe you can kind of reflect on this for the audience I always expected the

The Civil Service would stand up first for those of us that were out there that were going to do it because we weren’t facing you know necessarily legal action in which case we were not going to get a a negative discharge that would possibly ruin the rest of our life we weren’t

Going to do any jail time on a base which is a real possibility for disobeying an order maybe you can kind of talk about some of the consequences that people you know maybe military wide but also in your particular area we’re facing so before that it was before the

Mandate went out it was just having missions taken from you not being able to go TDY or travel uh maybe having to mask when other people aren’t able to um there’s many who had it much worse than I did so Brianna Cespedes for instance she was Air Force kicked out got a

General discharge but she was quarantined for like 140 days in the course of like two years it’s absolute insanity and this is you know a young 24 25 year old girl uh so for me when you get to let’s say the Mandate coming out I put my religious exemption

In there’s the possibility I get kicked out with a general discharge which happened to the majority of people were kicked out they got General discharges this means that they don’t have their GI Bill that their their labeling is having conducted a serious serious offense so misconduct for serious offense and this

Goes out whenever they make a job application um that they don’t get even certain discounts like for Crews joining the BFW Veterans of Foreign Wars different clubs it affects your employment it affects your life you can’t go to school I mean and it’s it also is just kind of an affront to your

Character hey your service it wasn’t honorable you you did something wrong so that’s something that I faced um I also just I got out because I couldn’t recover my career I was ironically accepted to teach philosophy uh and ethics at West Point uh but I couldn’t

Move or PCS to go to grad school because once the Mandate went out I couldn’t travel I couldn’t move to a different Duty station I couldn’t deploy and if you’re a green Bray who can’t deploy that’s you’re not very useful so the these are kind of the consequences that

That we’re faced and then I I’m very grateful for my leadership I know I complained about you know one guy a little bit but my Battalion commanders I mean they really hooked me up they were very it was good chatting with them I mean not trying to get Stockholm

Syndrome you know I wish everyone stood up to a greater extent but still tried to set me up career-wise to where I could still survive if I wanted to just stay within group so for most people if there’s any any kind of angst or any kind of want to get people to conform

And seeing these antivaxers or people who are refusing to get the shot as as a problem it’ be very easy to write your officer evalue evaluation report in such a way to kind of stop your career and my career was just put on Ice the entire

Time that the uh that the Mandate was in effect before it was rescinded um so that’s kind of kind of the consequences that I generally faced um others obviously yeah had it worse were actually kicked out and with the army they just I think their plan was just to

Ice us out and to avoid lawsuits there’s so many aspects of this whole whole thing and you know we’re not going to get into all of them but I I think that the leaders knew what they were doing were wrong was wrong and they put out certain statements that make us

Understand that because they try to explain how the fiser shot which is eua approved is medically interchangeable with Community which says nothing about the legality of that because that’s that’s another thing so we’re getting back to Summer of 2021 August my team that one shot is FDA approv the other is

Not and the FDA appr proof shot is not available SE def said he’s ordering us to take an FDA appr proof shot if there’s none available you can fulfill it with an eway well if there’s no FDA proof shot that makes the order illegal I already made my mind up to get a

Religious exemption so not as big a deal but when we got counseled and we actually got councel in the middle of the woods it’s absolute Insanity we’re doing a twoe training exercise in Louisiana it’s the joint Readiness training center and as Green Berets were Behind Enemy Lines you know out in the

Woods you have like a 12 hour break during that 12 hour break they send a major out to counsel us and I just had yeah how did that go over the guys were not very happy they definitely gave that major piece of their mind I called my

Company commander and I said Hey sir why are my guys get counsel in the middle of the woods how do you expect them to make a lifelong career de resources um how am I supposed to show guys that training to fight and win Wars is more important than administrative [ __ ] when this

Is happening and that we’re just not going to get training value if this is holding over our heads um so I had that conversation and a little bit later heard that we could wait until we got back to seventh group in order to get the counselings in which frustrated me

More because it means that someone else could have made that call instead of the captain in the woods but yeah it was very uh very frustrating I don’t think I’ve been much angry in my life um so yeah yeah we get back and then we just have a conversation with the doctors

About medical exemption that’s another thing the military broke their own medical policy so why did we send this letter I mean let’s tie back into the Declaration military accountability because military leaders broke the law they didn’t follow their own policy they tried they quered us into taking an

Experimental drug that was not FDA approved without giving us uh full knowledge of what what was going on you have to disclose what you’re giving to the person you have to disclose that you have an option to receive it or not it’s a nerber violation when during one of my

Counselings out I asked the fulber colonel have you heard of nerenberg code it’s a nerenberg violation to force someone to take something that they don’t know the side effects for to course them in any way shape or form informed consent is required uh you cited that I cited the same thing to the

Deputy Assistant Director of Human Resources over at the FBI and and it went over about as well as you’d imagine too um I also implied that he did what the Nazis did and that he might as well call himself a good American which is also you know when you’re a civilian you

Can get away with saying a little bit more stuff which I chose to do well I sent it anyway I sent it anyway I asked um do you think this was legal order do you realize it this was to the full birg Colonel you have you’re required to do

It when you’re getting out if you’re an officer so it’s like do you think it was legal order realize it requires an FDA approved drug to be legal are you doing anything to track covid injuries have you heard of nurur code so that kind of

Spiced it up he asked me uh he said too much ideology is bad and asked if they heard the Crusades um and said I was going to a dark place and asked if I believed in selfless service and implied that what I did wasn’t selfless so I don’t know it’s uh

But no no sorry you’re going what what happened with your human resource thing um they they pulled me uh put me on awall which I didn’t know was a thing there’s actually an awall ability to be when you’re a federal employee which I did not know I knew about it from the

Military but I’d never heard of that happening so I literally was on approved leave and I showed up to a uh I showed up to a qualification because I carried a firearm still and I show up at a Firearms qual actually at White’s missile range of all places if you ever

Been there it’s a huge dirt patch in the middle of nowhere I was on Small Arms range number four which is like 400 yards long about 100 yards wide of just dirt in the Middle with a mountain in the background and there’s nobody for

Any you know for miles and uh I went out there and shot with like 12 other people from my squad and then they called me up that night and they said hey did you have a uh a covid-19 test and I said no I was on leave and also I was in the

Desert in the middle of the and I was on leave and I drove my personal vehicle and I shot my personal weapons and I was just qualifying because I still carry a gun and they go oh well now you’re on a wall your leave has been revoked unless

You qual yeah our and my my fight was this I obviously wasn’t going to get the shot either and I did that up front but the fun thing for me was is they said they gave me an alternative the alternative was compliance by taking the emergency youth authorization test every 72

Hours now my my answer to them was pretty straightforward you might find this very amusing I said look I’ve been a paramedic for over a decade I have a top secret clearance with an seci qualification and uh you know I’ve done the polygraphs so if you can’t trust me

To stay at home with the 240 hours of sick leave when I have the sniffles I don’t know what to do but I’m not going to take a test when I have no symptoms because I know medically and professionally that that’s IR like that’s never been done before we don’t

Take prophylactic nasal swabs particularly with something because there’s things like ethline oxide there’s a whole bunch of other reasons why you don’t do it I know guys that have nose beds now every day because they did it all the time for travel it’s like no I’m not doing that you’re crazy

And and job over it that’s the other funny thing like someone’s got to draw a line yeah I I didn’t I was not as aware of all the scientific things for me it’s like these shots baby dead babies I’m not trying to you know be involved

Murder and and uh theft of baby so that so I didn’t necessarily put up the fight for the the nasal swab so I got the brain scrape every now and then every two hours no no I mean so here’s the nice thing is that being in SF like yeah

Things were stupid but it was more of a career kind of risk guys weren’t like treating me differently weren’t NE I mean did they have masking rules sure did I did anyone follow them no absolutely not and similar with testing too I I think I talked to one doctor and

He’s like yeah man if they if it comes to that I’m just gonna ask you have symptoms and you say no you’re good all right solid you know so you can still get around a lot of this kind of stupid stuff but still we have a sign that says

Diversity is our Readiness equal opportunity is our combat multiplyer something like that so you know wokeness it’s infiltrating seventh group logo at the bottom um the whole thing was so dumb yeah and and what does that do to military Readiness from what you saw well uh it results in a lot of uh

Not so happy command climate surveys when your boss is a transgender uh major or someone with psychological issues um you know there’s not a whole lot of faith and confidence that if the person doesn’t know uh you know what’s between their legs that they’re going to make

The right uh combat decisions um so it it definitely hurts hurts morale and I know we were nervous about women coming into special forces as well I got through ibol like before women were in the Infantry went to some women were in Ranger school too um but it we need to

Focus on confidence like seriously that it just needs to be a confidence focused thing and I don’t think that most Americans are that racist I think we just kind of got over it um that we got through the 90s we have you know great jokes people like Dave Chappelle’s

Hilarious other folks are hilarious we make fun of each other whatever we move forward and you just get along like I got along with everybody like it doesn’t who who freaking cares just get your [ __ ] done get your job done stop F stop focusing on it stop talking about it it

Doesn’t help and I hate too we had sergeant major of um of Socom comes the seventh group and it says yeah this is a great unit they uh are totally diverse and they don’t sacrifice anything it’s like yeah we have a lot of Hispanics because we speak Spanish like that’s it like come

On yeah you know it’s like I don’t know so it’s just really stupid we need to focus on things that actually matter instead of all this kind of nonsense [ __ ] I mean that reminds me too yeah SEF he was awall sick whatever it is in the hospital didn’t show up my fear for

This right now uh is that congressmen are going to focus like pinpoint and focus in on him not being around for four days just like they can pinpoint and focus in on the few transgenders in the military or on some bases having drag shows which these are terrible

Terrible things but the larger Readiness issue is kicking out all these guys for for the shot so yes I’d say bring it up but don’t lose sight of all the wrong things that seep has done don’t go try to impeach him for this let’s go on

Ahead and focus on The Afghan war let’s focus on the worst recruiting we’ve had since Vietnam it’s just absolutely atrocious and at some point if you’re look at the patterns you have to really think that the Biden Administration isn’t just doing it incompetently that they are actually out there to destroy

America to cause certain emergencies and problems and to fix them with other problems that are going to continue to consolidate power for themselves and for I don’t know Global leads so you said you’re 35 is that right yes and you’re fit you’re still capable you got kicked

Out you know mid-career or you chose to leave but they gave you a decision for all your chips and you made the one you made um young guys still probably got to look to you and see what’s on your wall and know your background and say hey man

Should I join the military I’m 17 I’m 18 I’m 19 years old you know I’m full of piss and vinegar I want to go you know kill people and not get not go to jail for it what what do you think is this the career for me can you recommend it to

People yeah so this is what I’ve actually told some folks and I I have people reach out they’re welcome to they can find me on the website whatever um uh so yeah I what I tell people is that we’re made to and it’s very ignation just off of the the summer Retreat is

That we made to praise reverence and serve God our Lord and by this means to save our soul and everything is a means to that end and if you think that military service is something that you want to do something you’ll enjoy and will help further you as a person then

It’s something you should consider however you need to understand and know that you’re going to go through some challenges that you shouldn’t have to in the military but life isn’t about avoiding those challenges it’s about doing the right thing no matter what in whatever situation so know yourself and

Understand what those challenges are going to be and have those limits we can’t just avoid certain areas and we can’t give up the military as an institution to be another three-letter institution to be co-opted by the left we already got enough feds trying to [ __ ] I think we just had a holiday for

It you know uh they’re trying to co-opt Epiphany sorry Epiphany wins it’s there forever uh but turns out yeah so I I would still encourage a person to consider it now if there’s something that is morally objectionable to you period That’s requirement so if the co

Shot were around I’d say don’t join at all until this is gone if you can also wait until um Biden is not president that would even be even better because yeah there’s some concern about how these leaders are going to take care of service members because they aren’t they

Don’t care it it just shows that they don’t care that there’s been whistleblower reports that the injuries that people I mean the vaccine injuries I’m not a doctor so I don’t focus on it too much but there are people who’ve been seriously messed up by this and we hear in Special Forces

About somebody who Dives in the combat dive qualification course where you have to be extremely fit to go there or Maritime assessment course which is a prere for dive school it’s just it makes you question it makes you guess and there needs to be full accountability investigations into that so since

Getting out of the military in July as far as Pursuit I I’ve kind of felt that God’s really providentially put me in this position because I get out in July 1 I do a eight day igntion Retreat July 12th through 20th so for people who don’t know what that means that is a

Eight Day of Silence you pray Five Holy hours a day so you’re sitting in a chapel or somewhere meditating on some aspect of scripture spending half hour to an hour talking to a priest and he’s helping you to review your prayer for the day you’re offering up decisions to

God and I went there wondering you know what God I spent time in seminary I still love you I still want to serve you what do you want from me do you want me to go back to Seminary what do you want me to be involved in so trying to offer

That up to him and then on the feast day of St Ignatius which is July 31st is when my first oped was published and that led to getting a lot of interviews so now nearly 40 interviews and then going up to DC and trying to work with different

Congressman um that’s that’s kind of been just kind of this mission that I’ve seen God put me in now I don’t want to be a Perpetual unemployed dude that just does this you know like trying to find my place in life but I do think that fighting for my country is certainly

Something God’s called me to do but working with Congress it’s been such a pain because the two things that we’re trying I’ve been trying to get done and this is why we have this letter go out trying to get amendments to the National Defense authorization act which is the

Annual budget that allows the military to continue funding and that’s where you would be able to put in things such as bringing service members back in elevating their discharge statuses to honorable giving them back pay giving them time allotted for uh time they’ve been out of the service these things

Weren’t done they just weren’t done this last NAA was absolute trash Republicans are not negot if they negotiate like Democrats we’d get a whole lot more done and it’s extremely frustrating um and it seems like they just they’re more concerned about staying in power than they are about getting [ __ ] done Santos

You might think like okay you know weird stuff whatever I don’t know man wasn’t wasn’t convicted yet and that’s an extra vote we have so let’s hang on to him and hey McCarthy if you’re gonna vote to get out of him maybe you don’t quit you know like we’re strengthen the majority here

So it’s just Absolut I think a lot of these folks don’t realize it’s a good vers evil or that civilizations don’t last forever so that’s I’m going on so many tangents but so amendments is one piece and then hearings is another so been trying to push for Congressional hearings house

Armed service committee Co select weaponization of the federal government and this these stories need to be heard mine very mild a lot of people had it way worse but read Rob Green’s book amazing defending the Constitution Behind Enemy Lines um check out the website too uh which is military

Accountability. comom that has links for the book that has our declaration as well it has a petition people can sign but educating yourself on what happened in the military just shows how much accountability is needed that people broke the law they committed wrongs there’s not going to be trust until

People are held accountable and we wrote the Declaration of military accountability because I’ve gone up to DC a couple times I’ve been talking to so many different staffers we haven’t even gotten a regional hearing I think there was maybe last spring some hearing with the milers or something I don’t

Know what happened to that I don’t want to hear seaf getting yelled at about trainings in the military again I want to hear him yelled at about the freaking Afghan withdrawal I want to hear him yelled at about kicking out 8,000 dudes did he know he did know but let’s talk

About it the FDA UA distinction what kind of mil what kind of information did he have about people being injured from this shot what did he know about the religious exemption process being blatant uh blatantly denied and what kind of coercive measures would was he telling his generals to employ in order

To the I mean the FDA approved shots called commity it might as well be called Conformity because that’s all they were worried about is just getting people to conform so anyway I’m I’m behind all of those ideas I’d like to see that done for the civilian Service

As well I think the military probably had a much rougher go of it uh which is why we haven’t heard so much about it until now let’s talk about the uh the Declaration we’ll wrap it up with this the Declaration for military accountability what was it modeled on

What was the purpose of it what are you guys demanding out of this particular document and uh and where where could people support it so Rob Green is the one who wrote it so he is an active duty 05 uh father of seven Catholic solid

Dude um so he’s the one who drafted it and there were a lot of people who got who put input into it I didn’t put as much input but was you know involved in kind of earlier process or known about it so had 231 of us sign it and it

Basically says that this government it doesn’t work without imoral people and that these military leaders broke the law and they need to be held accountable for it and here service members are still suffering from it the homeless vet population people dying from the shot people with debilitating vaccine injuries people with financial burdens

That are screwing up their life and they’ve had two years to correct themselves and it doesn’t really get into Congress but that’s part of it is we’ tried to work through our elected officials and they failed us so we’re going to get accountability ourselves so it comes with some pretty strong

Promises people might think really it’s not that bad if you look at all the wrongs that these leaders committed taking their retirement pay away is not bad bringing them back off of retirement in order to put them through a court Marshal hey if you did nothing wrong you

Have nothing to worry about we are all about accountability if we are wrong for some reason which we’re not but if we’re wrong for some reason and you’re innocent that’s great and this isn’t about let’s just fire everybody who did it wrong because unfortunately if this s

A test the whole military failed as much as I’m upset with the top leaders I’m upset with these middle level managers too who needed to just do their the right thing and if we were in a Nazi Germany situation we’d have a bunch of Nazis unfortunately it’s very sad so we

Have these folks who signed we have about seven folks who are running for office others who are interested in that we have um people who are still on active duty who signed it who are doing that at great great risk to themselves to sign it while on active duty and it’s

Just saying that we’re going to do what we can responsibly within moral means and legal means so not calling for violence whatsoever and it’s not even partisan document I’m talking partisan Le because um Liberals are [ __ ] and uh Republicans are pretty bad too but not quite as bad at least in principle

But you know a lot of weak spines and [ __ ] like that but this document is not it is in accordance with the Constitution and Rob Green being Catholic in accordance with the natural law so drawing off of those principles in order to kind of push forward and

Motivate ourselves so if you want to support us go to military accountability. you can sign the petition we’ve had a lot of problems with the website because we’ve had people hacking it trying to disrupt it and it’s just absolute Insanity we if you post it on Facebook or Instagram it gets taken off

It’s hilarious um you can’t like DM people with that website name so those are things you can do uh specifically with that but I’ll bring it back to why does our country suck who’s at fault for it you and I are we’re at fault for it

This is a country of we the people for the People by the people and if that’s the case if you’re ignorant about the laws and how the the government is governed you need to be spun up on it if if you are just kind of I’m not saying

Everybody needs to be a News Junkie but there’s a certain level of ownership and awareness of a thing that you participate in in order to keep it going so so yes sign the document but do more and the way you figure out what you do more I think is through prayer and

Discernment um and you know if you want to help yourself to be Catholic because that’s ultimately what you need to do uh to get to but uh I’ll just throw that one out there people get pissed off whatever I’ll have the Rel yeah we’ll hear about that in the comments that’s

Good I it’s true though that what we what we tolerate right the things that we tolerate is what we’re complicit in it turns out and a lot of people gave up a awful lot of ground in the last couple years I’ve been telling people you got

To fight your way back up to that line of the sand most of us are behind it uh for whatever reason you know good bad or indifferent do an honest assessment of where your ground is you’re probably not where you wanted to be you need to get

Up in front of it and then plant your feet and get ready to start taking rounds because it’s still coming at us it’s not stopping we’re about to see uh I think just another really really interesting year of of some awful Behavior probably on both sides if I had

To guess yeah yeah I think that everybody’s New Year’s resolution has to uh be respond to the current crisis that happens well you might not plan for it but uh go ahead and throw that in your resolutions because it’s going to be a wild year and know what your limits are

Know what you’re willing to stand for beforehand or you fall for anything I love it all right so other than single ladies who are looking to uh lock you down what are the best ways people can follow you and support what you’re up to uh my website is johnf franklin.com and

Yeah those are ways to support and um really appreciate it but definitely military accountability and I’m an individual and we’re made up of a lot of individuals who are doing this fight and it’s you know I can’t do it anything on my own my model through

This whole thing has been Luke 177 to10 and that’s where Jesus talks about the owner sends his servants out into the field and when they come back Jesus says that the master isn’t like hey come on let me serve you food no the master is like come serve me and when you’re done

Serving me you can serve yourself something and at the end of it the servants say we are unworthy servants have only done our duty so we’re just trying to do our duty but that’s just what we need to do to get this crap done I can take it I appreciate you spending

The time with us we’ll have some more people on with some different stories I think all these will tell a broader picture kind of a mosaic of of uh experiences through this whole Co sort of tyranny that went on in the military but uh Johnny and it’s it’s Johnny with
