Description

Shawn Ryan and AJ Pasciuti discuss the current war with Iran and whether America is repeating the same mistakes from 2003. AJ, a Marine veteran who served three tours in Iraq fighting Iran's proxies, breaks down why he doesn't believe the U.S. should be at war with Iran, the cost of two decades of nation-building, and what he learned from John McCain's stance on enhanced interrogation. He also shares the story of a friend who survived Columbine only to die in Iraq, and reflects on who actually pays the price when America goes to war.

The majority of people who advocate for war will never partake in what they push for.

I served for almost 22 years, a lot of it in Iraq and Afghanistan. I wasn’t a door kicker or gun fighter, but almost got blown up quite a few times. I am 1,000% against any boots on the ground war unless every single other option has been thoroughly exhausted.

Mr. Pascuiti is one of the best guests Shawn has hosted. Incredibly intelligent, well spoken, talented warfighter, and very fair, thought-out opinions.

This man just earned my never-ending respect. Fellow Americans, take notes; and remember, if it hurts to hear something, 9 times out of 10 that’s how you know it’s the truth. Suck it up, get used to it.

At least there's no blame game with this guest. Honesty, Transparency, and no conspiracies. This is how people should talk to each other, listen to each other, debate, etc. Thank you!

He hits my sore spot. I graduated from HS and 6 months later I got my draft notice in March. I enlisted in May of 65.

Shawn as an army veterans wife I want to thank you for having these men on and share their stories because it really helps me understand my husband more especially on the things he doesn’t talk about and I understand the way he thinks better ❤
