NOTE: This particular episode is focused mainly on the issue of Veterans and how they relate to the younger generation of Veterans and Active Duty personnel.

But it’s really aimed at the Veteran – and specifically Navy Submarine Veteran – community. – Producer Henri Yesterday was Women Veterans Day. Maybe you knew that, maybe not. It became a thing because it was June 12, 1948, when Congress finally enacted legislation to allow women to serve in the regular Armed Services, not just the Auxiliaries. It is NOT a holiday or even an official thing, but it’s a reminder that once upon a time, society changed. I made the mistake of making a post about it on The Sub Vet, the Facebook page I Admin, and the result was as predictable as the tides. Over the past weeks, I have noticed – as I mentioned on Bill Mick Live last week – that for whatever reasons, Veterans – and specifically Submarine Veterans – seem to hav

On February 22, 1770, eleven year old Christopher Seider was killed in the streets of Boston. He is generally considered by historians to be the first person to die in the American Revolution. The British Taxes imposed in 1767 under the Townsend Acts led a firestorm of Colonial protests, particularly - and to no one's surprise - in Boston. The Colonials had boycotted British imports since the implementation of the Acts, but it mean that Boston (and other) merchants were struggling to make any profit at all selling American made goods of rougher and lesser quality. In early 1770, one Boston merchant, Theophilus Lille, announced - very publically - that he had had enough and was breaking the boycott and would sell British goods. The resulting riot ended with the death of Seider, who would draw his final breath in the surgery of Dr. Joseph Warren. Two weeks later, snowballs hurled by angry Colonials would lead to shots being fire and the next five Americans will fall in the Revolution. Dr. Joseph Warren, seein

We have this… myth… in our heads. It’s born from a combination of Manifest Destiny and the desire to see ourselves in a certain light, but the truth is that the Constitution of the United States was highly radical, highly controversial and absolutely not universally proclaimed as the best way of governing ourselves in 1787. Not only were there vicious and lengthy diatribes in newspapers and town meetings, even the conventions called in twelve of the States were divided and contentious. But one State in particular, held itself so against the Constitution and its ratification, that when a group of citizens gathered at a BBQ to celebrate the ratification of the Constitution by a neighboring State, it called out a brigade of militia troops to stop the celebration. At. Gun. Point. The story of tiny Rhode Island’s road to ratification is both amusing and at the same time, a little unnerving. It’s not something that we today like to think about and we never talk about it. The idea that the smallest State in the Un
