***Recorded on 10/14/2025***

We launch a new season with candid updates on the VFW Riders’ push for autonomy, a grounded look at burn pits, PTSD, and VA claims, and a spirited debate on borders, raids, and what conscience demands. Stories from Iraq, Africa, and the road anchor a practical plan to keep posts alive.
• Riders group evolving into an affiliated entity with bylaws
• Why riders need rider-written rules and road protocol
• Post life: darts, trunk-or-treat, and new lottery draw games
• Mental health outreach and the state suicide prevention lead
• Burn pits, telehealth C&P exams, and filing smarter VA claims
• Membership realities, aging out, and family-first scheduling
• Service stories: mortars, piracy, and special operations culture
• Faith, conscience, and weighing security against mercy
• Immigration triage versus sweeping raids and late-night no-knocks
• School funding, per-pupil dollars, and local equity
