Col. R. Davis Younts, a former JAG officer who almost got separated at nineteen and a half years for refusing the COVID shot, saved only by the Doster injunction. Younts now represents the service members fighting to get their careers, records, and back pay restored. The conversation opens with the trailer for the new documentary \"Duty to Disobey,\" then moves into Pete Hegseth's announcement establishing the COVID-19 Reinstatement and Reconciliation Task Force. Younts breaks down what is actually good about the directive, where the Pentagon bureaucracy is still slow walking it, and why he estimates only about 5% of forced-out troops will return after what they and their families went through. The guys dig into the Army War College integrity study, the risk-averse mindset that makes officers manage their careers instead of leading, and why Stuart Scheller is the modern Billy Mitchell. Younts ends with a simple prescription: fire the general officers, hold real war games, and rebuild from there. Plus: US has 750 overseas bases. China has one. Russia has under 30. So what is $1.5 trillion buying?","meta_description":"CannCon and Alpha Warrior welcome retired Air Force Lt. Col. R.
