Tracer Burnout and Growing Up in the U.S. Military

The American civilian-military divide is stark. Only about 1 percent of the U.S. population has served in the military. We here at Angry Planet like to do what we can to bridge that divide and have found that the easiest way to do that … is just to talk to veterans and service members.That’s why you should listen to the podcast Tracer Burnout, a show where a pair of Army vets talk to other vets about their service. The guys at the center of it are Dan and Roger, two friends who both grew up as Army brats. On this episode of Angry Planet, Dan and Roger stop by the show to tell us about Tracer Burnout and what it was like to grow up on American military bases.The origins of Tracer BurnoutHow Fury inspired a veteran to start a podcastPsychic soldiers in FuryThe difference between the branchesThe changing relationship between the military and the American civilian populationCalifornians in TexasThe life of a military bratFrontier re-enactorsHardtackThe anti-authoritarian streak in veteransWhat happens when the Army makes you to learn a languageLife as a personal trainer in the ArmySubmarinersWhere the name comes fromListen to the Tracer Burnout podcast herehttps://tracerburnout.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/warcollege.
