A lot of what happens on our show intentionally or otherwise takes aim at stereotypes that have been assigned to service members, and it is a stereotype indeed that people enlist in the military because there’s just nothing else they could be doing with their lives, that it is an act born of desperation. I know that’s a concept hanging out there for some, consciously or otherwise, because I’ve heard it said and seen it written too many times.
We have two of the most entertaining, self-made, grunt-ass Marines I know on today’s show for you, and they really couldn’t be more different from each other, except that both of their upbringings made them perfect candidates for the United States Marine Corp, the USMC, an acronym Marines will often repurpose when referring to themselves as Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children.
Marine Corp. veteran and stand-up comedian, Brian Simpson, talks about maintaining identity while serving in the armed forces; and Marine Corp. Veteran Dan Lopez tells the true story about Smoking Pot with the Taliban.
