Peaches and Active Duty CCT, MSgt Dan torch the myth of “fair” awards in the military. This one’s not a feel-good story—it’s a reality check. From Manda Bay to the Pentagon, the boys call out the clown show where some people collect medals for surviving the wifi going out while others who actually fought for their lives get nothing. Dan drops receipts straight from the battlefield, naming the hypocrisy, inflated hero worship, and bureaucratic nonsense that’s poisoning the ranks. Peaches brings the heat, asking what integrity really means when ribbons matter more than reality. If you’ve ever wondered why the system feels rigged, buckle up. This one’s a gut punch.

⏱️ Timestamps:
00:00 – “That didn’t happen.” Dan calls out false war stories.
04:00 – The Manda Bay attack that never should’ve happened.
09:00 – The medal inflation problem: Valor vs. participation trophies.
14:00 – Security Forces myths get shredded.
19:00 – When leadership rewards fiction over facts.
27:00 – Silver Stars for drone kills? Come on.
33:00 – Angel on the battlefield... or PR stunt?
40:00 – Leadership gaslighting and the politics of awards.
47:00 – Peaches drops the hammer: Integrity first, or nothing.
