About this episode

David Rutherford reflects on the sacrifices made in American warfare and the importance of remembering those who served.

On this Memorial Day, former Navy SEAL and CIA officer David Rutherford does what his family does every year: he reads the names. Then he walks through the full cost of American warfare — from the 25,000 dead in the Revolutionary War to the 150,000 veterans who have taken their own lives since 9/11 — and makes the case that sacrifice is the single idea that holds civilization together. This isn't a generic tribute. This is a man who has been part of what he calls "the culture of death" since he was 23 years old, asking you to take 60 seconds and contemplate what it cost for you to have what you have. ✅ Sponsor: ☕️ Black Rifle Coffee, use code froglogic20 for discount: https://www.blackriflecoffee.com/ 🏫 Get coaching by David Rutherford: https://www.froglogicinstitute.com/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
