S1E17 – Fighting Wars For a Living with Marcus V
Today I interview Marcus V. who is currently active duty special forces. The nature of what he does is extremely secretive but I can tell you with certainty that he is one of the most hardcore people on the planet. He is one of the most decorated veterans on earth and has spent more time in war than almost anyone alive and has the scars and the medals to prove it.
He has lead large teams under the most extreme circumstances where every decision can be life or death. In one crazy story you’ll here in this interview, he was in a face to face shoot out in Afghanistan with someone hiding in a cave that had supposedly been cleared.. This exchange of fire from just a few feet away was all captured on video.
In this interview we talk about war, the things he has seen and done, how he prepares himself for these missions, and how he leads. Most importantly though is how he has been able to maintain a strong mindset and a positive attitude despite losing dozens of his closest friends and having seen things that you can’t even imagine. If you need perspective in your life, this episode will give it to you!

Nadine & Mike OTP
Obsessing a little bit about them... so glad the writers see their potential as a slightly odd, but kick-ass power couple.
Is it just me, but I thought Nadine and Mike always had a sizzling chemistry, even when it was lightly hostile sometimes? I remember S1E17 “Face the Nation”, when Bess had her PTSD breakdown and they had to work together:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
About their scene in the last episode (”The Seventh Floor”): whoa! I do believe in foreshadowing, and that the Joni Mitchell song playing in Nadine’s car has a deeper meaning:
Help me I think I'm falling In love again When I get that crazy feeling, I know I'm in trouble again I'm in trouble
Also, Nadine’s look when he says that he leaves (before he asks her why she didn’t call him back) - as if she doesn’t want him to go, despite her saying she does.
Tumblr media
I love how much Mike is obviously into her, and after failing to convince her with his usual “Mike B.” attitude, he realizes that he only has a shot by being vulnerable and his true self. So looking forward how this plays out. And I love that he left Nadine all hot and bothered ☺
From a storyline perspective, it is kind of remarkable too that he now has a son... as does Nadine.
What do you think?
