Ep. 028 - Biden's Pull-Out Game (7/25/21)

Pillow Scream Radio

Jim and Mandy welcome a new guest, Raj! There's no better way to talk about Afghanistan than with a battle-hardened combat veteran, and boy did we find one. Raj, who was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for the daring behind-enemy-lines rescue of fallen beef stroganoff, left the service after one cup too many of dogsh*t army coffee.

Anyway, we talk about the all the media noise surrounding Biden's decision to pullout of Afghanistan, once and for all (by the "darkly ironic" date of September 11th, 2021, no less). We discuss the ulterior motives of the man who helped start the war--and the utter vanity of his claim to be the man that ended it. All in all, we agree that all us veterans and active duty folks are sick of the Democrats and Republicans fighting over us like it's a goddamn custody battle. Get your shit together Mom and Dad, you were both trash parents, you didn't feed us, you blew our college savings, and we're definitely going to become strippers. Oh and we're absolutely doing drugs.

Fun fact: Dick Cheney tastes like baby powder. Can confirm. Want to know how we know???

Thanks for coming on Raj!

Love, Mandy and Jim

(Oh and btw, there's an audio clip in here about the military industrial complex from the documentary Why We Fight. Brilliant piece of filmmaking. Check it out!)
