Ep 586: “Extreme Violence?”—Why Civilians Don’t Get War

Send us Fan MailPeaches is solo in the team room—and this one turns into a full-on reality check.It starts simple: pre-recording for Nashville, OTS updates, life logistics. Then he rolls into a Pentagon clip that asks one of the dumbest questions imaginable—what does it feel like to order violence? That’s where it flips.Peaches breaks down the truth most people will never understand: war isn’t emotional, it isn’t personal, and it sure as hell isn’t about “feeling powerful.” It’s about finishing the job and bringing your people home.Then he goes deeper—mindset, awareness, and why most people are walking around completely blind to the world around them. Cooper’s Colors, escalation of force, and the uncomfortable reality that sometimes the only winning move… is going all the way to 100.And yeah—he addresses the “dealer of death” crowd too. If you think Americans celebrate killing, you’re missing the entire point.Ends strong with the A-10 staying alive—and why that matters more than people think.Bottom line: this isn’t a feel-good episode. It’s a wake-up call.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Solo Episode—No Safety Net 02:00 Nashville & OTS Updates 05:00 Finding the Right Training Environment 08:00 Pentagon Clip—What Are We Asking? 11:00 “What Does Violence Feel Like?” 14:00 War Isn’t Personal 17:00 Cooper’s Colors Explained 21:00 Most People Are in White (Clueless) 25:00 Yellow to Orange—Stay Ready 29:00 Red—When It’s Go Time 32:00 Why Escalation Gets You Killed 36:00 Going Straight to 100 40:00 The Reality of Violence 44:00 “Dealer of Death” Misunderstood 48:00 Stop Misreading the Military 52:00 A-10 Saved—Now Comes the Hard Part 56:00 Final Thought—Wake Up🎯 Call-to-Actions: 👍 Like if this made you rethink things 🔔 Subscribe for real, unfiltered conversations 💬 Comment—do you agree or disagree? 🌟 Leave a review if you want more like this 🪖 Join the Ones Ready Membership 👕 Check out onesready.com for merchSupport the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page:  HERERegister for our Operator Training Summit:  OperatorTrainingSummit.comFind an Air Force Recruiter: AirForce.comCollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code:  ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code):  ATACLeteDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code:  ONESREADYDFND Apparel...
