Bridging the Gap: Unraveling Military Suicide

A Sailor's Creed

Brian Little, a US Navy veteran, brings a perspective to many different topics during his time in the service. One profound connection Little makes is The Sailor's Creed and what it actually means for sailors. He eloquently breaks it down in a way that helps others understand its influence on the Navy culture. We also discuss how the support we show our servicemembers when they come home must continue even as they become veterans. He brings the question, will a high budget motion picture be the ultimate way to bring the realities of military suicide to the public?

Twisted Cultural Acceptance (Part 2)

We conclude part 2 with Matt and hear more of our conversation as he reveals just how personal suicide has affected his life in and outside of the military. There's no doubt that the military continues to move past deaths quickly and without much empathy, if any at all. We continue our discussion on Cannabis and the double standard the DoD has with their misconceptions between it and alcohol. Should the DoD look into funding a research study? I also explain my interest in running for public office as an effort to expand my mission in speaking up and bringing military suicide much more attention both locally and nationally.

Twisted Cultural Acceptance (Part 1)

An Air Force Veteran shares his experience over 20 years of service and goes into detail how the Department of Defense has chosen their preferred "legal" drug (alcohol) despite growing evidence of how dangerous it is as compared to Cannabis. What's it going to take to change such a twisted acceptance of alcohol in the military culture?

The Poison Runs Deep

The Department of Defense systematically and strategically is poisoning our service members. Hear straight from a navy veteran about how alcohol was why he left the service.

It's Who You Know

The buddy system continues to be a battle for many hardworking airmen. Some refuse to settle, but at what cost? I sum up two conversations with local Minot veterans.
