Summary

Normally scheduled Friday Q and A for today:

1. First, a listener's concern about a controversial statement: "I love killing people." What are the realities of combat, and what does such a declaration truly mean within the context of military service and its psychological impact.

2. Guidance to a young man wrestling with the stigma of quitting. After leaving Army training just weeks before completion, he's now engaged and considering a career in law enforcement. What are some strategies to overcome self-doubt and rebuild confidence to face new challenges head-on.

3. An ethical dilemma faced by a government employee who's discovered a covert plan that could unjustly harm his manager's career just weeks before retirement. Torn between protecting his own position and doing what's right, he seeks advice on how to proceed without repeating past mistakes.

0:00.0	Welcome back everybody.
0:01.0	Hope you're having a good Friday.
0:02.8	Two things I want to talk about before I get into today's episode, which I think I've got some pretty diverse topics,
0:08.6	and then I realize I say that often, so I hope I'm actually delivering on that.

0:24.2	going on. But before that, we are somewhere between 40 to 50 days from our next presidential
0:30.9	election. And I don't like politics. I don't like talking about
0:34.4	politics. I don't like getting into political arguments, which generally start off
0:38.2	under the guise of discussions. But I do think that our ability to vote in our democratic system is one of the most
0:48.5	important valuable rights that we have and it should be guarded at all costs.
0:54.6	And if you do a little bit of research at the number of people who choose not to
0:57.7	express that right, it's shocking.
1:00.3	Specifically today though I want to talk about active duty military and veterans.
1:04.4	So the stats show that about 75% of active duty military members participate in voting, which I think is great
1:10.1	because that is much, much higher than the national average.
1:14.0	But we'll round down.
1:17.0	Seven out of ten.
1:19.0	Why not ten out of ten?
1:20.0	My ask for anybody in the military. Please have a cup of coffee or tea or
1:27.6	whatever it is you like to drink with your friends as this election approaches.
