Peaches sits down with legendary A-10 attack pilot "Won" Bier—and this one is equal parts war stories, aviation nerd-out, and straight-up calling BS on billion-dollar defense decisions.
Fresh off Operation Epic Fury, with A-10s once again doing what everybody swore other platforms could “totally replace,” Won breaks down what Sandy missions, combat search and rescue, and real close air support actually look like when people’s lives are on the line. 
Then it gets spicy.
Why is the Air Force “saving” the A-10… with no real funding behind it? Why is AFSOC dropping billions on aircraft nobody asked for? And why do the people actually getting shot at still keep asking for the Hog?
Won doesn’t sugarcoat it—budgets, politics, ego, procurement… it’s all in the blast radius.
Bottom line: every time they try to kill the Hog… reality drags it right back into the fight.

Peaches is back for the May 7 Daily Drop—and yeah… this one goes from special operations gambling scandals to America’s obesity problem real damn fast.
A Green Beret allegedly used classified intel, dropped $30K on a prediction market… and walked away with $400K. And honestly? Peaches has thoughts. Spoiler: he’s not exactly mad about it. 
Meanwhile, the Pentagon keeps throwing hundreds of millions at AI, cyber warfare, and data analytics, the Air Force is resurrecting B-1 bombers from the boneyard, and the Coast Guard is building its own special missions command.
Oh—and if you think America’s doing great physically… Peaches spent one night on the Vegas strip and came back with some uncomfortable observations.
Bottom line: the future is getting faster, warfare is getting smarter, and if we don’t fix ourselves physically… none of it matters.

Peaches is back for the May 6 Daily Drop—and yeah… this one’s stacked.
The U.S. is pulling 5,000 troops out of Germany, the Marines are flooding units with kamikaze drones, and the Pentagon just signed AI deals with OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, and SpaceX because apparently the robot wars are no longer “future tense.” 
Meanwhile, the A-10 refuses to die—this time helping rescue a civilian boater in Florida—while the Air Force doubles down on electronic warfare, missile defense, and finally gets the T-7 trainer moving.
Oh—and Space Force casually adds another $4 BILLION to surveillance satellites while two U.S. service members are missing during an African exercise.
Peaches keeps it blunt: alliances are shifting, warfare is evolving, and if you still think drones and AI are “coming someday”… you’re already behind.
Bottom line: adapt now… or get left behind.

Peaches and Trent are back—and this one starts light, then gets real fast.
From gym talk and pipeline prep to fan questions about teamwork and weak links… it quickly turns into something bigger: standards, accountability, and what happens when people outside the fight start dictating how it’s fought. 
They break down the reality of teamwork—how to deal with freeloaders, when to step in, and why ignoring problems doesn’t make you a “good dude.”
Then it pivots hard into media takes, ROEs, and the now-popular idea that “chest thumping” is somehow dangerous.
Peaches and Trent call it straight: war isn’t clean, leadership matters, and the people actually doing the job feel the difference when they’re trusted—or when they’re not.
Bottom line: if you’ve never been there, maybe don’t act like you understand it.

Peaches and Trent are coming to you live from Nashville, Tennessee—halfway through day one of Operator Training Summit, and yeah… the chaos is exactly what you’d expect.
43 candidates. Full cadre. Heated pool. Turf gym. Zero excuses. And somehow Aaron’s already in full “don’t talk to me” mode before lunch. Business as usual. 
The guys break down why Nashville might be the best OTS location yet, what actually happens behind the scenes, and why this isn’t a smoke session—it’s mentorship, diagnostics, and teaching candidates how to stop training like idiots.
From Chris Thomas’ legendary stories, to Taylor Starch casually fixing people’s garbage run mechanics, to the brutal reality of a surprise IFT after a full day of work… this is what “Train With Intent” actually looks like.
Bottom line: you can watch reels all day… or you can show up and find out where you really stack up.
