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

Peaches 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.
