MBRS 82: Military Mental Health or Excuses? Peaches Says We’ve Gone Soft
This episode is only available to subscribers.
Ones Ready MBRS Only
Exclusive access to bonus episodes!Peaches goes solo and unleashes pure unfiltered Ones Ready energy. From Air Force football to government shutdowns, from bogus “Qatari base” conspiracies to the Air Force’s mental health meltdown — no topic is safe. He rips into how the military’s obsession with “self-care” is starting to sound like a therapy group for quitters, why shark attacks and blood wings need to come back, and how infrastructure and leadership have both gone to hell. If you’re tired of the soft, sanitized version of service life everyone’s selling… this episode’s your reality check. Buckle up, snowflakes.
