Common Veterans: Episode 15 – Let’s Talk Politics

Common Veterans: Season 2 Addendum
Episode 15: Let’s Talk Series: Politics

In this episode of The Common Veterans podcast, part of the “Let’s Talk About” series, we break the rule:
“Never talk politics, religion, or money at the dinner table.” We’ll dive into politics, its intersection with military life,
and a political card game for a bit of fun (and maybe some chaos).

Who Are We?

Each host shares their perspective, kicking off with Casey explaining the rules of “Leftdiculous”, a political card game. Before playing, we discuss what politics means to us as veterans, exploring its personal and military implications.

Politics and the Military

We explore how politics shapes the military through current events and historical decisions:

  • Pete Hegseth: A potential DoD director pick by Trump.
  • General Chris Donahue: His career has faced Senate roadblocks.
  • Tulsi Gabbard: A former Congresswoman and Army officer as an intelligence pick.

These discussions show how decisions in Washington impact military life.

Politics Game Night

We play “Leftdiculous”, a game blending humor with political scenarios. Our rule is simple: Play the game or lose.
It’s a fun way to explore political debates and spark productive conversations.

Special Outpost: Stolen Valor

We address accusations of stolen valor against one of our own. Every veteran here has been vetted, and we stand by their integrity. This segment explores what stolen valor means and how to counter misinformation.

Season 3 Preview

Season 3 will explore life after service, from transitioning to civilian life to advocacy and creative outlets. With 24 episodes,
we’ll highlight how veterans thrive beyond their military careers.

Thank you for supporting The Common Veterans. Politics can be divisive, but as veterans, we bring a unique perspective.
Stay tuned for more as we wrap up Season 2 and prepare for an exciting Season 3!

The History of United States Military Challenge Coins

History Small enough to fit in the palm of a hand, challenge coins carry a surprising amount of meaning. Within the United States military, these coins represent recognition, belonging, and shared experience. They are often presented quietly — sometimes by a commander...

Beyond Survival – Learning

Learning Importance to Veterans I didn’t set out to create a blog series on this topic. But after re-reading my last article, I realized something — this conversation is needed. The number of people who read it (or at least clicked on it) was higher than I expected....

What is Important to Veterans

I’ve got a question for you… and then a follow-up question. What is important? Why is it important to you? The answers to those questions will make immediate sense to some of you. To others, they’ll sound simple — maybe even obvious. But there’s a difference between...

Season 4: Episode 2: Civilians are Watching

Movies, television, and social media have created familiar images of Veterans — the unstoppable warrior, the haunted survivor, or the flawless patriot. While often meant to honor service, these portrayals can quietly shape how civilians view and interact with Veterans...

Anxiety of Everyday Life

Understanding Anxiety in the Life of Veterans Anxiety in the scheme and life of things comes in many different forms and changes within the confines and communities of military Veterans. Soldiering is not a minimal commitment- there are soldiers that deserve and earn...

Season 4: Episode 1: That’s Bullsh*t

We’re not starting Season 4 quietly. We’re not easing in with a polite “welcome back.” We’re kicking off 2026 with a full-throttle “that’s bullsh*t!” and we’re doing it the only way we know how — loud, honest, and unfiltered. Welcome to Common Veterans Season 4. This...
