192: The Air Force 'Sig-cident' - Zero Days Since Last PR Disaster
This week, Nathan and B.R discuss the latest 'Sig-cident' involving an Sig P320 / M18 handgun, with this particular uncommanded discharge resulting in the death of a U.S. Airman station in Wyoming. The lads talk bluntly about the on-going lack of accountability from Sig in regards to these incidents and scapegoating via blaming the holster or user. Also discussed: The 'Tim-cident', AKA, Tim Kennedy publicly apologizing for lying about receiving the Bronze Star for Valor and the years of inflating his service record publicly and to his own profit and the implications of this and how American hero worship continues to create those who tell exaggerated and embellished tales of war for their own gain.On a more casual note, B.R celebrates carving out two acres for himself and achieving a small slice of the 'American dream' in Appalachia, and Nathan attempts to explain Death Stranding and Kojima to B.R. All that, and much more!All information discussed is open source and available to anyone with an internet connection, documents can be found below for reference and independent assessment.Any legal action pursued due to this episode will be met with more memes. :)SIG INTEL REPORT:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ozkb5vouKqtVeHxGBtRJ5z9BVlHMF6k4Uf3gsnLe9Zc/edit?invite=CPu87poP&tab=t.hdaevbdop0sfSIG P320 US I.C.E.
