Adam and Dick break down a rough stretch for military leadership and election security. The Secretary of the Army just resigned amid friction with Pete Hegseth, following the ousting of the Army Chief of Staff and roughly 80 general officers pushed out or sidelined — more than half of them women or people of color. They talk through what that institutional knowledge loss actually costs, and where AI-driven weapons systems are already outpacing the ethical debate around them. Then: the Supreme Court's ruling letting the Postal Service restrict mail-in ballot delivery in states that haven't handed over voter rolls, why that looks like a direct federal intrusion on a state-run process, and what it could mean in a state like Colorado where the vast majority of ballots go through the mail. They close with an update on CD5VC's veteran outreach training for candidates and staff, and a preview of the September 27th "Our Voice, Our Future" podcast marathon, including a segment on veteran suicide with the team behind the documentary In Country: The Battle at Home.

Left Face returns with hosts Adam Gillard and Dick Wilkinson digging into the ouster of the Army's chief of staff following an inquiry into a costly helicopter flyby at Kid Rock's property, then turn to a rare competitive debate in Colorado's 5th District between Rep. Jeff Crank and challenger Jessica Killen — covering inflation, tariffs, and each candidate's attempt to distance themselves from their party's edges (Bernie Sanders on one side, Thomas Massie on the other). The hosts dig into tensions between the Democratic Socialists of America and the party's moderate wing, a local data-center moratorium petition effort, the ongoing Hormuz shipping standoff, new "economic D-Day" tariffs on Canada, and the Kennedy Center's contested ballroom/bunker expansion.

After a few weeks off, Left Face is back with a "Russian roulette" grab-bag episode covering the fallout from the Strait of Hormuz standoff — including new casualty numbers, extended ship deployments, and reports of a mental health crisis aboard a carrier still in theater. We break down Trump's Air Force One decoy maneuver leaving a NATO summit in Turkey, an Air Force major's court-martial-bound protest, and a full political roundup: Jon Ossoff's viral shot at the White House, Lindsey Graham's sister stumbling through a Senate debate, and the FBI raid tied to Rep. Eric Swalwell's past ties to a convicted Chinese spy. Veteran perspective, unfiltered commentary, Pike's Peak Region.
