The Blasters and Blades Podcast

The Blasters & Blades PodcastPowered by Caffeine & Bad Decisions: Veterans Day 2026Forget the official speeches and polished history books—this Veterans Day, we’re swapping the real stories from our time in uniform. Join our panel of veterans as we look back at the chaos, the motor pool shenanigans, the questionable tactical choices, and the lifelong bonds forged over cold coffee and bad decisions. From barracks folklore to classic service mishaps, we’re honoring the military community the best way we know how: with honesty, brotherhood, and a lot of laughs. This was a fun, so check out this episode. Join us for a fun show! We're just a couple of nerdy Army veterans geeking out on things that go "abracadabra," "pew," "zoom," "boop-beep" and rhyme with Science Fiction & Fantasy.
