21 Gun: Where Veteran Voices Meet Current Events
Dive into the battleground of ideas with hosts Kevin "Sully" Sullivan and Frank Easterling, two combat veterans who unpack the complexities of the nation they fought to protect.
Each week, Sully and Frank peel back the layers of absurdities woven into American life. With unfiltered perspectives forged on the frontlines, they fearlessly confront the nuances and contradictions of today’s news, offering a unique lens through which to view the country.
In a world overflowing with headlines, "21 Gun" is your call to arms. It’s a rallying cry for those who want to see the ideals they defended reflected in our nation's narrative. Join us each week as we explore, dissect, and question. Because understanding what we fought for is as crucial as the battles we waged. Welcome to the frontline of discourse. Welcome to 21 Gun.
