About this episode

Eddie Robertson discusses the challenges facing Australian patriotism and the treatment of veterans in an unfiltered conversation.

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with former Australian Special Forces 2 Commando operator Eddie Robertson for an honest and unfiltered conversation about the Ben Roberts-Smith saga, the attack on Australian veterans, nationalism, patriotism, and where Australia is heading. We unpack the ongoing Ben Roberts-Smith situation, why so many veterans believe Australia's Special Forces have been unfairly targeted, and the impact it's had on those who served. We also discuss whether Western governments are deliberately eroding nationalism and patriotism, why national identity matters, and what happens when a country loses pride in itself.
