SITREP Ep. 155: Memorial Day Open Phones, Stolen vs. Fake Elections & Vet Stories That Hit Hard

CannCon and Alpha Warrior throw out the usual format and turn the show over to the audience for a Memorial Day special. Before the lines open, the guys go round and round on whether stolen elections are best called fake or fraudulent, with Alpha holding the line on stolen and gay over fake and gay. They cover Johnny Joey Jones reenlisting in the Marine Corps at 40 with no legs, what that signals about the civilian military force the CIA quietly admitted exists, and CannCon's own story of getting forced out by Obama-era downsizing after a shoulder reconstruction. Then the calls start rolling in. Kairos reads her original poem "Hey, Ron" written for her Vietnam vet neighbor. Claire Cat honors her dad, two uncles, and British father-in-law who served from Iwo Jima to the Battle of the Bulge to pulling pilots out of London's fields. Smay calls in from the regular Army era of 1970s pay. Space Monkey shares twenty nine Palms memories. Lion AZ tells the story of her granddaughter discovering she had a relative who served. Pan Blanco, age 84, remembers his recon Marine brother G. Edward Dyer. CannCon closes with a plug for the Mighty Oaks Warrior Program.
