In the most shocking episode yet, I recount the tragic death of my teammate, Corporal Michael Cooke, and the heartbreaking betrayal by my girlfriend, Ashley. As I inventoried Mike’s personal effects, I discovered a picture of Ashley, uncovering her betrayal at a moment when I was the most vulnerable. With the U.S. ground invasion of Kuwait just days away, I was forced to manage my burning rage while preparing for combat in my new team.
I also reveal how this single event dramatically impacted my future relationships and marriage.
It’s an emotional and raw exploration of grief, betrayal, and resilience, offering listeners an unfiltered view of the mental and emotional battles faced by a young Marine on the brink of war.
