When Military Service Ends… the Battle Doesn’t Always End With It
About this episode
In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, retired Army leaders Tommie Jones and Lance Taylor sit down with Navy Chaplain Dr. Larry Brant to talk about the difficult reality of suicide in the military, mental health, leadership guilt, trauma after deployment, and the emotional weight carried by service members long after they return home.
Tommie opens up about losing Soldiers under his leadership to suicide and tragic circumstances after combat deployments, while Dr. Brant brings insight from years of counseling and supporting military members through some of their darkest moments.
This is not a clinical discussion.
This is a real conversation about pain, leadership, trauma, accountability, faith, and the questions many veterans and families still struggle to answer.
