War Stories Official Podcast

Wil also was ready to share his thoughts on service, sacrifice and the state of the United States and it's treatment of our veterans.

When a Marine who has been on a previous podcast hears someone he went to high school with on episode 8, he realizes they were in Iraq at the same time and IMMEDIATELY calls us to tell us the details.

Hang on to your butts for some great short stories and some hot Jerry Springer ACTION!! Jerry! Jerry! JERRY!
