Family Through Service

We talk Horror Movies from back in the day as well as a bit about the "new horror" styles that have come out of Hollywood as of late.

Chuck and Eric interview Kai, a 21 year old who "came out at 14". Kai has and is currently, (to the best of my knowledge) using hormone therapy to aid in the transgender process, but has not undergone Gender Reassignment Surgery at this time, primarily citing the cost of such a surgery. In this interview we three discuss if MAPs (Minor Attracted Persons, otherwise known as pedophiles) should be allowed to legitimately claim to be a part of the LGBTQA+ movement.

V2VG President Eric McNail and Vice President Chuck Bradley talk about Eric's recent family vacation and the need for getting back to "the grind".

How has verbiage and law changed over time to suit the needs of those in power or those who want to change or modify the narrative?

In this video we talk about where we might like to go if we were single men, where we would like to go as married men with kids, and a bit about some of the more interesting places we've actually been in our lives... NO we don't go into war stories, not this time lol

The guys talk about "Brain Splinters"; what they are and how the affect us veterans and first responders. We also talk about what we refer to as "mountain time" which is so prevalent for folks up here in Northern New Hampshire and alien to us veterans. Lastly we rant and vent about situations that, effectively, waste our time.

In this video we discuss we speak about the people of Ukraine and their desire for freedom. We touch on the sanctions levied against the Russian Federation by the US and NATO, and a bit about what one should, or should not consider when trying to decide if it's a good idea to head over to help.

Chuck and Eric discuss what we refer to as "wrinkles" in a plan that can cause many veterans anxiety. These wrinkles can be, and are, any sort of minor change or variation in a plan or scheduled event. What sort of things cause these, what can one expect when it happens, and how can they be avoided? Now these wrinkles do not go as far as becoming what we call a "Brain Splinter" which is a TOTAL breakdown in the plan or schedule of events and causes rather massive upheaval in the minds and emotions of some veterans.

Eric and Chuck interview Armand, a paratrooper with the 101st Airborne Division, during Vietnam who was wounded by a mortar round while holding a forward position in defense of artillery emplacements. In part 2 we learn about the attack aftermath.

Chuck and Eric discuss situations that cause small....shall we say "Wrinkles" in the plan as opposed to full-on Brain Splinters or Routine Violations, as we call them. We also discuss how they may impact the lives of veterans and their families.

Eric and Chuck continue to discuss if and how words can cause an unconscious bias to form about an event(s) and more on the Jan, 6th event and the American prisoners related to it.
