Navy SEAL, Homicide Detective, & Secret Service Agent | Frank Larkin | Ep. 377

Frank Larkin recounts his long career path from Navy SEAL and Secret Service agent to Senate Sergeant-at-Arms, including a gripping personal account of his actions at the World Trade Center on 9/11. However, the central theme is the tragic story of his son, Navy SEAL Ryan Larkin, who took his own life after years of struggling with undiagnosed symptoms. This led to the discovery of severe microscopic brain injury (TBI) from repeated blast exposure, which had been misdiagnosed as PTSD. Larkin now advocates to force the DoD and VA to prioritize TBI research and unite biological injury diagnosis with mental health treatment to protect the "thinking warrior brain."LINKS⬇️Troop's First Foundation to assist active duty and veterans and National Warrior Call "Defeat Isolation" campaignwww.troopsfirstfoundation.orgwww.warriorcall.orgVets 4 Warriors veteran helpline staffed by vets 24/7www.vets4warriors.comHome Base veteran diagnostic treatment program www.homebase.orgBoulder Crest - Warrior Path post-traumatic growth programwww.bouldercrest.orgTragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS) addressing the impact of suicidewww.taps.orgMarcus Institute for Brain Health diagnostic treatment programwww.medschool.cuanschutz.edu/mibhCohen Veterans Network for mental health carewww.cohenveteransnetwork.orgCenter for Brain Health - University of Texas at Dallaswww.centerforbrainhealth.orgInvisible Wounds Foundation (IWF)www.invisiblewounds.orgHeadStong Project treating PTSD and other veteran mental health challengeswww.theheadstrongproject.orgToday's sponsors GhostBed⬇️https://www.ghostbed.com/houseFOR 25% off! CovePure ⬇️use link https://covepure.com/teamFor $200 off!For ad free video and audio and access to live streams and Eyes On Geopolitics...JOIN OUR PATREON! https://www.patreon.com/c/TheTeamHouseTo help support the show and for all bonus content including:-live shows and asking guest questions -ad free audio and video-early access to shows-Access to ALL bonus segments with our guestsSubscribe to our Patreon! ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseSupport the show here:⬇️https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouse___________________________________________________Subscribe to the new EYES ON podcast here:⬇️https://www.youtube.com/@EyesOnGeopoliticsPod/featured__________________________________Jack Murphy's new book "We Defy: The Lost Chapters of Special Forces History" ⬇️https://www.amazon.com/We-Defy-Chapters-Special-History-ebook/dp/B0DCGC1N1N/——————————————————————Or make a one time donation at: ⬇️https://ko-fi.com/theteamhouseSocial Media: ⬇️The Team House Instagram:https://instagram.com/the.team.house?utm_medium=copy_linkThe Team House Twitter:https://twitter.com/TheTeamHousePodJack’s Instagram:https://instagram.com/jackmcmurph?utm_medium=copy_linkJack’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/jackmurphyrgr?s=21Dave’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/dave_parke?s=21Team House Discord: ⬇️https://discord.gg/wHFHYM6SubReddit: ⬇️https://www.reddit.com/r/TheTeamHouse/Jack Murphy's memoir "Murphy's Law" can be found here:⬇️ https://www.amazon.com/Murphys-Law-Journey-Investigative-Journalist/dp/1501191241The Team Room Reading Room (Amazon Affiliate links):⬇️ https://jackmurphywrites.com/the-team-room-reading-room/Intro music by https://www.youtube.com/user/RemixSample"Karl Casey @ White Bat Audio"00:00 Start13:26 Career shift: from Navy SEALs to law enforcement.21:25 Career shift: joining the Secret Service (federal service).30:01 Focus on the Secret Service's financial crimes and intelligence mission.33:51 Detailed account begins: Frank's experience at the World Trade Center on 9/11.58:56 End of 9/11 crisis: struggle to contact his family.1:05:10 Ryan Larkin's pivotal decision to enlist and pursue SEAL training.1:33:32 Shift to Ryan's struggle with mental and cognitive symptoms (misdiagnosed as PTSD).1:52:14 Definitive diagnosis: severe microscopic brain injury (IAS) from blast exposure.2:03:19 Call for fundamental change: unifying biological (TBI) and mental health treatment.2:10:12 Discussion shifts to immediate prevention efforts and training changes.2:22:19 Conclusion on solutions: why private sector/academia must lead the TBI solution.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.

Code Over Country: The Tragedy and Corruption of SEAL Team Six | Matthew Cole (throwback ep)

Original airdate 3/11/22The Navy SEALs are, for most Americans, the ultimate heroes. Their 2011 killing of Osama Bin Laden was celebrated as a victory in the War on Terror. Former SEALs rake in thousands of dollars as leadership consultants for American corporations. And young men who want to join the military dream of serving in their elite ranks.But as recent revelations have shown, the SEALs have lost their bearings. In Code Over Country, investigative journalist Matthew A. Cole tells the story of the most celebrated SEAL unit, SEAL Team 6, revealing the dark, troubling pattern of war crimes and deep moral rot hidden behind the heroic narratives. From their origins during the World War II and their first test during the Vietnam War, the SEALs were trained to be specialized killers with short missions. But as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan turned into the endless War on Terror, their carefully-managed violence spiraled out of control. Drawing on years of reporting, Cole follows SEAL Team 6's history, the high-level decisions that unleashed their violence, and the coverups that prevented their crimes from coming to light. Code Over Country is a much-needed reckoning with the unchecked power of the military -- and the harms enacted by and upon soldiers in our name.Code Over Country: The Tragedy and Corruption of SEAL Team Sixhttps://www.amazon.com/Code-Over-Country-Tragedy-Corruption/dp/1568589050Subscribe to our Patreon! ⬇️ https://www.patreon.com/TheTeamHouseTrueWerk ⬇️https://truewerk.com/houseuse code "HOUSE" for 15% off!01:04    Defining "Code Over Country" (Code of Silence)15:32    Origins of SEAL "Pirate Culture"31:01    The "Warrior Class" and Accountability Failure1:00:15    Commander Howard and Hatchet Desecration1:56:06    Melgar Murder: Immediate Cover-up Focus2:02:01    Reasons for OBL Mission Selection2:04:09    Importance of ROE and the "Gray Shoot" Standard2:20:51    Dropping CQD Training and Ethical Screening2:27:38    Slabinski Award Signaling "The Cover-up Wins"2:29:02    The Core Problem: Lack of Internal AccountabilityBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-team-house--5960890/support.
