    EP:55 The Significance of Talk Therapy

    EP:54 One Dimensional Veteran

    EP:54 One Dimensional Veteran

    Veteran Et Cetera features on this episode "One Dimensional Veteran"  audio essay.  The way of the Veteran is not easy. Are we programmed to be just one way as we readjust to society? Or do we get wrapped up with the commodity of our Veteran media presence?  This essay engages three pieces influential in mass culture: the book The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1955) by Sloan Wilson , the academic cultural studies piece One Dimensional Man by Herbert Marcuse (1964), and the Academy Award winning movie The Hurt Locker (2008). Where can we find the Veteran in these three pieces?

    EP:52 Chat with Robert "Buddy" Hackett: War and Music / Giving Back to Veterans

    EP:52 Chat with Robert "Buddy" Hackett: War and Music / Giving Back to Veterans

    On this episode of Veteran Et Cetera, we explore the many lives of  Robert “Buddy” Hackett. He lives the Good Life as Plato spoke about in Phaedrus (375 BC).  

    Here's a view of Buddy's life.
    Buddy is a native of Massachusetts. He graduated from St. John’s Preparatory School and was in the distinguished military corps of cadets at Norwich University. He was in the class of 1990 but was deployed to the Middle East, as an 0311 Marine Rifleman, during the Persian Gulf War of the early 1990s. 

    Buddy completed his BS degree in Communications after his combat deployment in the Middle East and he was part of the legendary Norwich University Rugby Football Club. Additionally he motivated lots of Marines at Norwich as serving Semper Fidelis Society President.  After Operation Desert Storm,  Buddy remained serving as a Staff Sergeant in an elite Marine STA (Surveillance and  Target Acquisition) Platoon. 
    He has had a career in corporate for many years and has coached numerous individuals in the business community. Buddy is a successful veteran entrepreneur as the owner of Renaissance Firearms and is the co-founder of a  Veteran Non-Profit Organization called On the Hunt Veteran Strong that exposes veterans to the outdoors. He is a proud husband and father with his family.

    Join us in my chat with Buddy.
