YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIf you need help, call 988 Su*c*de and Crisis Lifeline.
This one isn’t hype. It isn’t fun. It matters.
Aaron goes solo to talk about something we’ve hit since day one: veteran su*c*de. Since 2001, more veterans have died by suicide than were killed in combat during GWOT. Let that sink in.
He breaks down the rising numbers, the mental toll of Air Force Special Warfare and special operations, and why “mental armor” has to be built before you ever step into the fight. You train your body for the pipeline. You better train your mind for what comes after.
Aaron shares his own story as a su*c*de survivor, talks about sobriety, therapy, and why being intrusive with your friends might save their life. This is about insulating, not isolating. It’s about asking the uncomfortable question. It’s about realizing the job doesn’t end when you hang up the uniform.
If you’re chasing the pipeline, this is required listening. If you’ve already worn the beret, this one’s for you too.
