What Went Wrong With America? - Tim Kennedy - #753

O tym odcinku

Tim Kennedy is a Special Forces master sergeant, former professional UFC fighter, and an author. There's a lot of doomerism in the world.

Expect to learn how we can fix the American military’s recruitment problem, Tim’s first hand experience of what’s really going on at the southern border, the wild stories of unknown military heroes that we should know more about, how Tim plans to fix the current education system, the state of veteran mental health, the best preparation routine every tourist needs to know before travelling abroad and much more...
