Lieutenant Colonel "Sonny" Scott Duncan is an F35 pilot and instructor pilot with over 2800 flying hours and over 300 combat hours.

He was also an instructor pilot at the Navy Fighter Weapons School (A.K.A Top Gun), fully qualified in the F18 Hornet, the F18 Super Hornet, and the F16 Fighting Falcon.

However, Scott is among hundreds of combat aviators currently being purged from our military. In early September 2021, he submitted a religious accommodation request for the COVID shot, which was denied in October 2021.

In this week's episode, Matt interviews Scott to learn more about his background in the military and his thoughts on the Navy's current state of affairs.

Tune in to learn why the COVID vaccine mandate policy is, in reality, a manifestation of a much larger ideology, the impending readiness crisis the military is facing, and Scott's advice to young service members.
