Biden plays with fire sponsoring the Gaza genocide, as US troops get hit with blowback, reinforcements rush to the Middle East, and the Pentagon escalates by bombing Iranian forces. Iran, Hezbollah, and other armed groups have a red line; how far can the US push before it's crossed? This episode includes critical information for soldiers about why and how they can resist being party to this genocide, and prevent themselves from being sacrificed by Washington.

Dozens of American soldiers captured during intense fighting in the Korean War came to understand the true reason for the US invasion, and sympathized with their so-called enemies. 24 chose to stay with their captors rather than participate in the prisoner swap–six who are immortalized in a photograph with a banner reading "We Stay For Peace." Their story on this first full episode of Radical Military History. SUPPORT Eyes Left at Patreon.com/EmpireFiles FOLLOW us on Twitter & IG @EyesLeftPod
