Shawn Ryan and Mike Ritland tear into the gritty reality of elite military selection processes. They expose the ugly truth about ego-driven decisions, political games, and slipping standards in contracting that let unqualified "slip knots" sneak through while sidelining capable operators. From high shooting standards to the toxic power trips of some cadre, Shawn and Mike don’t hold back, calling out the loudmouths and the systemic flaws that undermine team cohesion and mission success.
