Ted Rall and Jamarl Thomas discuss Robby West’s 17-year-old son enlisting in the Marines without parental consent, exploring recruiter deceptions, military as indentured servitude, parental anguish, blank-check loyalty risks, and American mythology versus reality. They share personal stories of abuse, suicide considerations, and veteran disillusionment, then field audience comments on anger, collaboration ideas, Rumble vs. YouTube payments, and a humorous “Mortal Kombat” panda-eating-vampire age-restriction dispute.

Q&A extras are every Monday and Wednesday at 12 noon Eastern time.
